    Palin Could Actually Get Nominated In 2012

    TRENDING: Poll: Palin hot amongst Republicans, others not so much

    Washington (CNN) – For many Democrats in Washington, a Sarah Palin presidential run would be a dream come true.

    As their thinking goes, Palin's popularity among Republican base voters in early primary states would be enough to swamp the rest of the 2012 field and vault the conservative firebrand to the GOP nomination.

    But in a general election, her standing among independent and swing voters, which began to crater in the closing weeks of the 2008 presidential race, might be too much to overcome.

    New (admittedly early) polling data suggests that very scenario could play out if she decides to seek the White House.

    According to a new Gallup survey, 76 percent of Republicans have a favorable opinion of Palin - the highest rating among any of the presumed presidential candidates. The former Alaska governor also maintains the strongest name recognition of any potential candidate, while only 20 percent of Republicans view her unfavorably.

    Palin is trailed by Mike Huckabee (a 65 percent favorable rating), Newt Gingrich (64 percent) and Mitt Romney (54 percent). Bobby Jindal, who has yet to signal any serious 2012 intentions, had 45 percent favorable rating among Republicans.

    Among all Americans, though, Palin's numbers are upside down. More Americans view her in a negative light (47 percent) than a positive one (44 percent). What's more, only nine percent of Americans haven't formed an opinion of the former Alaska governor, making it difficult for her to correct that deficit.

    Romney, meanwhile, appears to have repaired his image among Americans since the height of the contentious Republican primary battle in February 2008, when his unfavorable rating was at 46 percent. Now, 36 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Romney, with 28 percent having an unfavorable view.

    The Gallup poll surveyed 1,020 adults between July 8-11 and has a sampling error of +/- 4 percentage points. Several potential candidates, namely Tim Pawlenty, were not included in the survey.

    I would think that a Palin nomination would guarantee a Democratic victory for the executive party. I doubt the RNC allows that to occure.

    Palin is a clueless idiot.

    God help us all if she ever takes up residence in a certain white house in DC.

    Re: Palin Could Actually Get Nominated In 2012

    even her own daughter hates her-








    UPDATE: Sarah and Todd Palin said in a statement on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday that they want what's best for their children and that Bristol believes in "redemption and forgiveness." And it seems Bristol blames her mom for their initial breakup. In a newly released People interview, Bristol says that had her mom not been a VP candidate, she and Levi would already be married and would never have split.
    PREVIOUSLY: Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are engaged, and they've shared the news on the cover of Us Weekly, seen below. They have not shared the news with Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, who has mocked Levi as "Ricky Hollywood" and poked fun at his "aspiring porn" career.

    Bristol tells the glossy, "It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board."

    i love how everyone always quotes sarahs "executive experience".

    she was the governor of alaska for about 2 1/2 years (about a year of which was spent campaigning, doing book tours, and fighting civil law suits).

    its freaking alaska. her executive experience is akin to a kid managing a 7-11 and slinging slurpees for a year and all of a sudden thinking they can run IBM.

    even after obama rules this entire nation for 4 years, the dense republicans will still chant that sister sarah has more experience (and actually believe it).

    I don't see anything in there that says she hates her mom. And saying they'd have gotten married already if it weren't for the campaign isn't the same thing as blaming her mom--the media spotlight caused some problems, as did Levi's lack of maturity. The porn-career mockery came after they broke up and Levi posed for Playgirl.

    As far as beating Obama, if he does as good a job over the next two years as he has so far, any Republican will beat him. And Palin is a lot better than the other assclowns thinking about running. (Santorum, Jeb, Haley Barbour, Flip Romney).

    As opposed to being a community organizer and a first-term, no-show Senator? Now THAT qualifies someone to run the country!

    She's a zero upstairs, and I'd be scared as hell to see her elected into office.

    I say keep her Alaska so that she can keep an eye on Russia. :rolleyes2:

    Doesn't matter how book-smart O is because he's grossly incompetent. He's consistently wrong about everything (no need to rein in Fannie and Freddie, the spendulus package will keep unemployment under 8 percent, the Iraq troop surge won't work, etc.) And all he did about the oil spill was actively hinder every mitigation effort while offering no ideas of his own.

    If anything should scare you it's a second term for Obama.

    And all I see in Palin is a pretty face.

    Obama may come across as arrogant - I don't care - but the man isn't stupid.

    in 2 years when you vote, if it is her vs obama on the ticket, will one of the deciding factors be that she has more executive experience than obama?

    I'm not a big Sarah Palin fan, but I would vote for her over three people ... Hitler, Satan and Obama. The last time I checked, 2 of those 3 won't be running in 2012.

    Not anymore(much like it was in 2008 which was the last time I couldn't vote). It's going to be what they did with said executive experience that will ultimately determine who I vote for.

    well you know what sarah did with said executive experience?

    she quit.

    she basically told all her voters "thanks... but fuck you. i am off to earn some real cash and focus on the fame and fortune i deserve and have 'earned'".

    whatever happened to fulfilling your duty and obligations and trying to see a job through?

    her example almost makes lebron james quitting on cleveland seem noble.

    As a conservative, I'd love to disagree with you ... but I can't.
    With that said, I'd still take Palin over Obama.

    No kidding Tony, at the end of the day if it comes down to those two I am more likely to vote 3rd Party.

    Let's hope it doesn't happen, but I wouldn't say it isn't possible. The same mentality that put the bozo we have now, in office, could also put this bozoette in there.

    If that were to happen, I'd have to give serious condideration to abstaining from voting.

    Re: Palin Could Actually Get Nominated In 2012

    I much rather have Palin because she believes in America's greatness (unlike Obama), is not trying to turn it into a socialist disaster (unlike Obama), cares about the american people and what they want and less about what socialist foreign countries want america to be (unlike Obama), and is not a spineless coward and appeaser (unlike Obama).
    Choosing between Palin and Obama is basically choosing between freedom and tyranny, between a leader with principles and a plan for a stronger America and a Chicago union thug, seriously are some of you people watching too much leftwing propoganda channels?
