Sarah Palin was an excellent governor, but 64% of Americans say they won’t vote for her. Granted, I’m sure the poll is rigged to some degree, but unless 70% of those polled were dems, it’s a very bad sign. Defeating Obama is much more important than any one person getting elected. Although, we can’t vote for someone only because they seem more electable. That kind of thinking got us McCain. The poll I mentioned had Romney as the only Republican who would defeat Obama, and at this exact moment that’s probably true, but we all know how easy it would be to pick Romney apart. Between Romneycare and his flip-flopping, the dems would have a field day with him. Dateline and 20/20 would also do stories on the bizarre goings on in the mormon church.
Romney hasn’t gone through the negative attacks yet. If he can only tie Obama at this stage with 2 years of positive Mitt press he can’t win. Palin is fully vetted, Mitt is not. polls show Palin only need about an 8pt swing to win the election and that is after 3 years of negative attacks. she is teflon now. Mitt is at his high point he doesn’t go higher than he is now.
We can’t afford to allow Obama to win. we can’t send out an untested unvetted candidate like Mitt to face the thug in chief. we need to field are most battle tested, vetted candidate in history whihc would be Palin.
