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.
-
It's about time people started to wake up and realize that she's nothing more than eye candy.
-
even after 2 or 3 straight years of nonstop media/ current events/ speaking prepatation taht she's had with FOX since leaving public office...
and with her own platform to PROVE to republicans that she's not stupid, as Katie Couric implied...
the majority of repubs believe she's dogshit stupid. They don't even want her as a presidential option. This isn't abotu obama or the left wing media... it's about Palin giving her OWN voice to GOP voters via a very friendly outlet... and them making an educated decision on her.
IMO.... Her employer putting out this poll... the very labor day weekend she said she'd give us a decision and when she's crashing the GOP gates this weekend...
-
I've been saying she won't run since the last election.
They/she knows she can't win. She'll just continue to raise $, make $, rally the base, and piss off the left. Pretty simpe.
-
she's dissing every top GOp face at every turn.
If there was ever a person who is delusional enough to run when they shuoldn't - who would sink their stock because of ego - it's her.
Look at Newt... he went from wise party elder to walking, vacationing joke by running he shouldn't have. JEB is smart - sitting it out. The minute you run, the vetting process begins and the shine starts to fade. Same thing would happen with Paul Ryan or Rubio... they're picture perfect until you learn about the deals they made to get there.

She already ran once, went through the vetting process, and got destroyed. I'm not sure I understand your point.

initially, her defense was "but but I'm awesome, it's just that I've been smeared by the left!"
now, 3 years later, she's had a nonstop platform to get her message across without any liberal interpretation. She speaks from FOX news to loyal base repub voters. And now that they know her, they reject her more than ever.
She didn't get vetted for competence and common sense in the 2 months after mccain inttroduced her. Voters have now had 3 years to decide if she's competent - seems repubs and dems agree she is not.

And you're saying that she's so self unaware that she'll run anyway? Dude, she's laughing all the way to the bank. Do what I do - ignore her. The only time I find it interesting is reading when the left gets their nuts in a knot over everything she does.

240 - its all about the issues.
Funny how people put effort in going after sarah than they do the economic disaster we are in.
Figures. Anything to divert from the reality of things.

BB posted a poll where Palin was THIRD among repubs running. Above bachmann and ron paul. She said it would be labor day weekend that she announced. Perfect holiday backdrop for a JOBS announcement. She just dissed romney and perry this week. Then her bus shows up at the GOP party riggh before the big debate (which she'd dodge of course, but be the story everyone was talking about)...
So yes, while we think she probably won't run, this week/weekend is the perfect storm of events for her to announce either way... or endorse someone.
And on the weekend of labor (jobs) day when she shows up - HER EMPLOYER releases a highly damaging poll? And you don't think that's noteworthy in some way? LOL! I guarantee you, if ACORN announced a poll showing 71% of libs hated Obama the weekend before he announced he was/wasn't running - you'd be on that story like stink on shite.
-
She is proving to be a very smart person when it comes to maximizing her image for celebrity and financial gain. She won't run, no one will vote for her and she would be making less money and she would have to go through another several months of media glare.
Not worth it. She will sit back, collect her money and stay in the spotlight.

Agree, it would be the most logical move.
Still, methinks if there's any politician in history who would realize he/she is financilaly set for life, and believe he/she is the best person for the job - Palin is the one that would do it.
Look at newt.. .making money hand over fist... made himself a punchline after this year. I see newt as a ton wiser than palin.

what about people who spend all their free time and effort going after Obama as well??...or those who constantly pump up Sarah Palin to run?....
Anything to divert from reality right?
-
I really hope she does run so she can totally destroy all the republican nominees...she is a train wreck for the Repubs and I believe she wants to run but wants to be annointed by the Repub party....I think she actually believes that she is entitled to the nomination and feels debating the other candidates would be an insult to her....
and if she did debate the other candidates she would destroy them because she only cares about herself

I do agree it would be entertaining. And polls show Obama does VERY well against Palin compared with the others. Maybe that's why the repubs don't want her running?
I also feel she would do everything she could to AVOID debating the other republicans. Same way mccain tried to hide her from the VP debate. She knows that it just takes one of them to take a risk and say "Governor Palin, you're just not smart enough for this job" and that's her legacy forever.

Lmfao at andre. You dorks still obsessed about palin are in for such a rude awakening next year you have no idea.
And yes - she would have been a much better potus than bama.

FOX news ran the poll. And it's only at 25% APPROVAL because the kids at DU were all voting YES, because they want her to run against Obama. They fear mitt - not her.
So yes, dorks like FOX news are obsessed with palin. And punking her by releasing it on labor day weekend as her bus plans to make an announcement? LMFAO.
-
Focusing on her is the ultimate red herring and classic diversion.
She sees the polls, she knows what's up, and is doing what she wants.
At this point the gop base would crawl over brokenm glass for anyone other than that dirty wretch obama and his flash mobbing wife.
And who the fuck cares if she runs or not other than perry or bachmann?
Tell me about that jobs report DISASTER again bro?

LMFAO

If she is so hated and so detested as 240 says, she won't win or stand a chance. So what's the issue 240? If she jumps in aloses badly - it hurts her no? Isn't that what you want?
-
palin bachmann hop aboard the crazy train
can you imagine them coming into a packed hall with that song blaring ,now that would be awesome :D :D :D

you are really delusional...I thought it was an act but I see you sadly believe this
-
She was and is atill qualified than bama.

WTF is obama's jobs report doing on a thread about FOX and Palin? sheesh.

BB posted a poll where she is still running 3rd... and she was the only one not declared.

doesnt matter she wont win and you know it.

she could win. if 71% of repubs hate her, 4% dont know and 25% love her...
that 25% could be enough to get enough votes to win the nomination.
You have Rpaul getting 10% everywhere... Perry and mitt each getting 20 along with bachman... 5% going to the scrubs, and 25% going to palin. She could win!
