I ask any GOP friends who say Palin can’t win the General Election: “If Sarah wins the GOP nomination, will you vote for her or for Obama, assuming BO wins the Dem nomination.”

They all say, “Sarah, of course.” Then my next question: who else in the GOP fills every venue they visit? Draws bigger crowds? Better excites the GOP base? Has more FB friends? Can raise, on short notice, huge sums in small, grass-root donations? Better defines, from “death panels” to “quantitative easing”, issues she chooses to engage? Who else can tweet one little message and the press is forced to talk about it for many news cycles? Who else has been better able to withstand the slings and arrows of a hostile, antagonistic, bigoted press corps (pronounced “corpse” by our highly intelligent Ivy-leaguer in the WH)?

Then I ask who else can beat her in the GOP for the nomination? They usually cannot say who with real confidence. Those that do will say, “Christie.”

When I ask,” did you know Christie supports “Cap and Trade” and is a true believer in the pseudo-science of Global Warming?”, they are stymied and do not know what to say. Sarah would destroy Christie in a GOP debate with that one issue.

Christie is a Global Warming nut? I didn’t know that.

Fills every venue they visit? Excites the "base"?

Are you serious?

By that yardstick, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber could be touted as good Presidential candidates if it were not for the "35 years old" constitutional requirement.

Yes, Sarah Palin, just like Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga, has a very dedicated core of fans and all three of them sell out venues every single time.

Even Charlie Sheen can claim to "sell out every venue".

However, compared to the size of the entire population of the U.S., those Fan Clubs are relative small.

Most Americans would not go to a Lady Gaga or a Justin Beiber concert even if you gave them free tickets.

As for Sarah Palin, SIXTY FIVE PERCENT (65%) of ALL voters have stated that they would DEFINITELY NOT vote for her.

The Republican Party makes up only 29% of all American voters. Having Sarah Palin getting 100% of the vote of the "base" and 100% of the vote of everybody else that has not already said that they would DEFINITELY NOT vote for Sarah Palin still adds up to a 65% to 35% electoral bloodbath and the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama.

The GOP needs to get a conservative candidate that does not have poll numbers lower than Osama bin Ladin's corpse at the bottom of the ocean (as Sarah Palin currently has) to avoid the certainty of either a RINO President or a second term for Marxist Obama.
