It seems Sarah Palin has worn out her welcome with Republicans. An astounding 71% of GOP voters say they don't want Palin to run for president, according to a new poll by FOX News, with 25% supporting a bid and 4% unsure.
The numbers are brutal for Palin, who was long regarded as a potential frontrunner for the 2012 nomination. Even among Tea Party-identifying Republicans she fares poorly: 68% say she shouldn't run versus only 28% who say she should. The numbers aren't that far off from the general electorate, 74% of whom don't want her to run versus 20% who do. Outside of Tea Partiers, more than 70% of every demographic broken out in the poll's crosstabs -- men, women, white voters, non-white voters, voters with college degrees, voters without college degrees -- are against a Palin run.
Over two-thirds of Tea Party Republicans don't want Palin to even run for President right now. Game over for the Grifter, folks. Unfortunately, Palin has spawned a Clown Car full of even crazier candidates for 2012. One of the nutbars will win. Despite Palin saying "there's room for more candidates" in the race last night, she will not be one of them.
But she sure doesn't mind taking people's money to pretend otherwise, eh?
