Notice how this story isn't about Romney vs. Huckabee, or Romney vs. Ron Paul or something like that. Yet we're told EVERY DAY that Governor Sarah Palin is finished, washed-up, done, toast, a ditz, a has-been, etc, etc...

Just the left trying to pick our candidate.

Seems pretty obvious. Just looking at the military itself there is a divide between what officers might support vs enlisted. Why would it be any different among the private sector?

Cheers!

No. It is liberal vs conservative.

Notice how this story isn't ...

Notice how on every poll of GOP primary potentials that is open to the general public, and which doesn't allow easy cheating -- Sarah goes to about 80% in the first day, and then it takes a month of chipping away to bring her down below 50% -- and that in a field of 20 or so selections.

This is a sneaky way to associate Sarah Palin with a less desirable population group. It is questionable whether education has any bearing on ones acceptance of a candidate. The objective of such a poll is to link Sarah Palin with a group with the implication that the group is less desirable. The effect is to paint Sarah Palin with the same low status as the group they manufactured to make the association.

Wow. And all this time I thought it was a liberal trait to demonize hard workers that achieved success.

So labeling degree holding, financially well off Republicans as 'ruling class' isn't rhetoric reminiscent of a Bolshevik political slogan?

Sarah will EARN the votes. Romney will try to buy them. HUGE difference.

So those of us without degrees are “less desirable”? Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Romney won't run. It would be a HUGE waste of money.

Palin/West 2012.

As much as I dislike some major aspects of our current situation, something tells me we’re going through one of the major pieces of history. I hope some very honest person(s) are taking really good notes.

"So those of us without degrees are “less desirable”?"

I am saying that the "less desirable" connotation is implied by those associating the less educated with Sarah Palin. The Left has made it a common practice to stereotype conservatives as knuckle draggers and less educated.

21% of those earning $90,000 or more doesn’t seem to mean much. Also I wouldn’t call a family income of $90,000 extremely affluent in our country’s economy today.

A question that I have is why would there be a divide along income lines? What do the truly affluent gain from the candidates they support?

Oh wow! I missed that aspect. I don’t have a degree,guess I’m just one of the lowly, unwashed, stupid, undesirable peasants. Glad to know my status and what the elites and wannabes think of me.
