69% See Palin as Good VP Pick
Conservative HQ ^ | May 3, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 05/04/2012 2:04:50 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

She is the 12th in a series of possible Veep picks graded by CHQ Poll respondents.

We asked you: “If Mitt Romney becomes the Republican nominee, who would be his best choice as vice presidential running mate?

And we explained: “Each day we will offer you a different choice, and ask for your reaction. We are not asking you to vote for the best candidate. We are asking you to give your evaluation of each candidate. In this way we will see who is acceptable, and who is not acceptable, to conservatives and Tea Partiers.”

Here is how you responded on Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska:

69% Favorable. Would make me more likely to work and vote for the Republican ticket.

16% Unfavorable. Would make me less likely to work and vote for the Republican ticket.

13% Neutral. Would not change my likelihood of working and voting for the Republican ticket.

2% Undecided.

Pardon my French, but Romney doesn’t have the balls to pick Palin.

I like your thinking. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Romney won and Sarah almost immediately began a series of not so subtle ad’s appearing to get behind Romney but at the same time letting him and the establishmnet know that we are paying close attention and that there will be consequences for failing to heed the warning.

Even if Mittens chooses Sarah for VP, I will not vote for him.

I voted for McCain because of Sarah, but I cannot cross the line and vote for Mitt.

Mitt needs a Conservative on the ticket—a real conservative—Newt, or Palin or someone else—Not a fellow RINO. Who ever it is shouldn’t be a Mormon. A war hero would be OK— someone with a proven record. Someone who has walked the walk rather than just talked the talk—Not a Token of some ethic group but a hard headed social conservative.

Last time I checked; I have the right to vote for anyone I damn well please. I will NOT be herded into a liberal pen by Rove and his ilk. If Zero wins; that will just show that a majority of voters want Communism.

Although I like Haley, West and Rubio, I doubt that Romney will pick a VP candidate with so little experience in Congress or the governors’ office.

All of them have been on their jobs only 15 months or so.

My guess is that it is a proven conservative governor with more years of experience.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

IMHO, if he chooses an older white male non-Southern RINO (eg, Santorum, Daniels, Jeb Bush, Giuliani-type) then he will certainly lose.

He HAS to demographically diversify, and he HAS to win FL, NC, and VA.

As far as I am concerned, the 16% can go to blazes

Niki Haley being VP?? I would take that as a slap in the face, and I think any decent Conservative would share my pain

At the very least, she should be a speaker at the convention.

...especially if Mitt would promise to resign after Inauguration Day.

And Palin as VP will take over the presidency.

That sounds like a plan to me
