Could Palin actually win in 2012 Y/N??

If nominated by the GOP and the economy is as it is today could Palin win?

  • NO. Palin is not electable, no how no way, NEVER

    Votes: 13 46.4%
  • YES. Desperate voters do desperate things, look at 2008.

    Votes: 4 14.3%
  • NO. she would get crushed in the presidential debate, she simply isn't smart enough

    Votes: 4 14.3%
  • YES. The people "who cling to guns & religion" have faith in Sarah

    Votes: 7 25.0%

  • Total voters
    28
Theoretically it is possible, probable...no.

Palin does have star status like Pres. Reagan and any republican opponent will have to overcome that. If they expect to overcome it they need to start getting money now and making a name for themselves. I know Indiana Gov Daniels is mentioned as a possible opponent and even though his track record is good, outside of Indiana he is a relatively unknown. Of course you have your other retreads and I think you have to keep an eye out for Jeb Bush too. Public opinion is very changable as seen in the last year and Jeb will be 8 years removed from the last Bush.

So Gov. Palin has a chance, but the Qualesque way she came on the scene hurts her because she is seen as a someone who is not intelligent enough for the office. And it is hard to overcome first impressions, especially if the media is against you.

Palin in my opinion is not electable. The media made sure of it...the media is particularly hard on female conservatives.
Other than that, despite some polls - when push comes to shove - she is not all that well liked by center conservatives either.
 
The 2010 elections proved a few things, actually old adages..."voters ALWAYS vote THEIR wallet." Ideology only goes so far. In 2008 the GOP fucked-up and deserved to lose, they did, and look to whom...a first term senator.

If the economy does not improve by election day 2012, does anyone believe that Palin could not win?

Is "drill baby drill" any worse than "energy costs necessarily need to skyrocket"?

Lets do a poll on 2012....
Absolutely. Never underestimate the stupidity of voters or the power of negative campaign ads.
 
I really don't like you suggested questiuons to your poll.
maybe E would be the answer.
E) because in 2012 she will be the best person for the job. because the current president is a moron.
So I choose E

So are you saying that you can be dictated to make a choice that is not truly your choice? Thats kind of weak if you ask me.

:lol: obama acts to stupid so why doesn't it matter with him?
 
because i think higher of the republican electorate than to believe she could actually prevail in a primary, she'll have to run independent if she were to aim to be on the ballot. that will be an exercise in embezzlement for campaign funds on her and her staff's part. it could not possibly be a legitimate go at leadership of the free world.

palin stands no chance.
 
The laughing started when she showed up as Mc Cain's running mate.
The laughing continued during the start of the Tea party.
The laughing went on during the campaigns....

All this lady has done was....

Energize a dead McCain campaign....
Fuel the Tea parties engine.
Get some life back into a Republican Party that everyone had wrote off.
Get the GOP in control of the House.....

You guys still laughing at her now?
Or maybe you are laughing at Obama....
because he's a BIG part of where she is today.

Absolutely Palin can win. Indeed, she is the only hope for the Republicans in 2012. Really. Republicans need to nominate Palin. Please nominate Palin.

Please.

What has she done that was so wrong in your eyes?

Personally I don't think Obama will be the Democratic candidate. I think he will pull a Johnson move and Clinton will be the Demo candidate.
