Two days after Sarah Palin fired up a large crowd at Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally in Washington, a newly released survey suggests a clear majority of Americans don't think the former vice presidential nominee has the right credentials to be president.Dear Republican primary voters in 2012: feel free to nominate Sarah Palin for President. Do everything in your power to make that happen. Go for it.
According to the new survey from Vanity Fair and CBS News' 60 Minutes, only 1 in 4 of all adults thinks Palin is qualified to be commander-in-chief while 60 percent say she is not.
By a narrow 47-40 percent margin however, Republicans do feel Palin has the right stuff to be president. But self identified conservatives – constituting the segment of the GOP largely thought to most favor the former Alaska governor – are essentially split 41-40 percent on her abilities to govern the country.
Please. (For great justice.)
Because I really can't think of any better way to assure America four more years of Obama.
I'd be more worried about the GOP's "unprecedented" 10 point generic ballot lead here in 2010 if I were you.

I used to feel confident that a Palin nomination was the best reelection insurance Obama could have. But it seems highly likely that the economy is going to be no better in 2012 than it is now -- and in that case anyone will be able to beat Obama. She'll be like Sharron Angle now -- crazy and extreme but absolutely able to win.
ReplyDeleteHey, the way O is going there'll be so many Republicans in Congress they'll have to take some of the blame, right?
ReplyDeleteBrowneye Dan, don't count your fascists until they're hatched.
ReplyDeleteZ is right in the comment above. the Repubicans aren't exactly going to benefit from the shitty economy if they're running Congress for the next 2 years. Though at this point it seems as though the Democrats would have been better off losing in '08.
ReplyDeleteEh it will be more childish fighting, the GOP will put their own bills through and Obama will just veto them since there is no change they will have a 2/3 majority. We'll be doing what we are now except the roles will be reversed.
