The Huffington Post thinks that Hispanics are the only way Obama can win.

However their biggest gains where the old southern states and Obama can't win there.

The economic realities do not favor Obama as they continue to get worse and never did recover.

This is 1980 redux.

Everyone, including the GOP establishment, was convinced that Reagan couldn’t win because he was just a B movie actor who was too conservative for most Americans.

Slick Willie was never held accountable for his treason and pretty much got away with his sexual misconduct. What do you think will ever be done about this illegitimate Barry Soetero regime? We all know what should be done, but that is far different from what the establishment will let happen.

Look who it was who refused to prosecute Clinton and allowed his dogs Ben Veniste and Jamie Gorelick to screw up Fred Thompson's committee hearings into Chinagate? George W. Bush.

I think the real story is that Clinton had stuff on Poppy, and to protect Poppy, Dubya had to play ball. I've also seen a photo of Dubya, taken in his wastrel days, walking around the Mena, Arkansas, airport with one of his brothers (either Jeb or Neal). What was up with that? What is it about Mena?

Sarah is heir to, and shackled to, none of that. Watch and see if she nominates a real former prosecutor like Bill McCollum as AG -- if so, then you will see the fur fly as she starts taking apart the Old Boy Network, and then we'll see if in fact there has been a Clinton-Bush condominium in force since 1988 or 1992.

Look for a takedown of the TARP banksters, access capitalists like the maggots running GE, and phony foundations that abuse their tax status while funneling megabucks to the hard-line left-wing Cause People and their nasty little NGO's.

And Clinton may just surprise everybody by suddenly moving to China, and taking his lovely wife with him (who has campaign finance felony liabilities from 2000, 2006, and 2008 to deal with). Maybe Slick, Beastie, and Charlie Trie can all have a nice reunion with John Huang and Johnny Chung at a pleasant Peking restaurant, and chow down on Peking duck, People's Liberation Army medals, and Slick and Beast's ill-gotten gains.

While Sarah and her AG take what's left of the Clintons' reputations apart back home in open court, and the big gates of Leavenworth gape wide to receive fraudster and impostor Barry Soetoro, his Wookie, and co-fraudster Shirley Sherrod, among other people.

And who knows? Maybe a murder charge, sauced with Patriot Act prosecutorial tools, will finally catch up with the abominate Bill Ayers and his unlovely gun moll.

The elites in the Republican party know if even Romney or any other candidate but Palin managed to beat Barky, nothing would change. All the regulations being put into effect by this admin to stifle the USA would not get rolled back. The climbing debt would continue, etc., etc. They make speech after speech, talk, talk, talk, nuance, nuance. Nothing would happen. That’s why Palin scares them, and millions of others. The Gravy Train might get slowed down.

“26% of the republican voters say they will never vote for her, so I guess that means she will need 40% of the black vote.?????”

Wonder what the percentage is that say they would never vote for Romney?

Rasmussen Poll: Palin favorability highest with 2012 GOP voters

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/128011-poll-palin-favorability-highest-with-2012-gop-voters

Are you a wet blanket, somebody who’s trolling against Palin, or both?

26% of rinos would never vote for her. That leaves 74% that either would or might.

She'll have to go after some very difficult voter blocks - and I'll be very careful to not "double count" here....

1. Blacks - I believe she'll do well with educated, working lower middle class to the very upper rich class in this group. She'll never appeal or gain traction with the inner-city, poor, hand-out receiving blacks.

2. Other minorities - principally spanish. I don't know enough about this one to comment on it...except to say, she'll need at least 25% of this entire block.

3. Illegal immigrants who vote (illegally to be sure, but vote nonetheless). She'll draw nothing from this group - hopefully it is small

4. The biggie....INDEPENDENT voters. This is the critical block. She's got to attract and hold at least 75% (better 80%) of this group (yes, I know there are independent blacks and other minorities...but I'm assuming small numbers). It would appear no one professional national polling organization is asking this question. But from all appearances, she's got a lot of hard work to do with this group.

5. Rino/repub/conservatives (yes, I know there are blacks and other minorities in here, but damn few, I'm thinking). If she wins the nomination (assuming she runs), she'll have to have at least 80% of this group. The others - avowed Palin haters - will either stay home, or jump to the stain's side. So she'll have to sway at least 4% to 6% more to her side than she currently accounts for.

6. The left. Unless they are "closet conservatives", she'll get less than 0.005% of this group.

So...do a headcount. There's your 2012 election in a nutshell.

If Palin's true intentions is not to run. This cartoon will be the official illustration of Palin's image among the American General Public.

Man, the truth is the truth, she has nearly 100%; name id, but she has the. Highest negatives. That puts her in a no win position. The facts are the facts, buy a voodoo doll maybe that will help.

If Sarah Palin can win the GOP Primary, she will beat Obama. Obama is running against the US economy and his socialist actions have done everything to harm the economy.

What the hell does that even mean?

Reminds me of "speaking truth to power", "hit the streets" and the other crap on Dummie Funnies.

I can tell you that using Paultard tactics isn't going to get Palin elected.

It means that Sarah occupies so much of the Left's, and a large number of folks who claim to be Republicans, mental energy that she's just about living in their heads. And Sarah doesn't have to pay a nickel of her own money for it.

Personally I like it. It's a nice turn of a phrase. Say it to someone who's spouting off about how stupid and unelectable she is and watch the reaction.

Shrub and Slick may have gotten their nose candy from the batches at Mena.

The thought of that Palin purge made my day.

The issue to be solved is that if the GOP nominates an establishment RINO, how do we convince all of the “lesser of two evils” voting republitards to support Palin in a third party?

Seeing that pic of her shaking hands with Allen West made my Memorial Day as well.
