She has a good chance of becoming he republican nominee in 2012. However do you think blacks, Latinos, Asians, and the gays will come out to vote for her over Obama in 2012? Fuck no, this is what Dems want Palin to win, so Obama can destroy her in debates, the comparison of them side by side will be priceless. She has no substance she quit as Governor, she's a quitter.
PLEASE!!! She'll whip the black off his behind (teleprompter and all). We've all seen Obama put his foot in his mouth, when his beloved electronic gizmo goes on the blink and he gets asked the most basic of questions.
The Latinos are a swing vote. Palin, or whoever the GOP nominee is, doesn't need to even win the majority of them, just a sizable chunk (Bush got 40% of the Latino vote in 2004, a 9-point up swing from what he got in 2000). Gays? Same deal. Even 31% of homosexuals voted GOP for midterms.
The only group that will mindlessly vote Obama, no matter how high unemployment gets, is the African-American contingent. Everyone else is up for grabs. In case you haven't noticed, the GOP doesn't need the black vote to win. And, it ain't worth wasting the money, trying to court them in presidental elections.
As CNN's Roland Martin put it,
When you broke as hell, you broke as hell! And, if that's the case in 2012, Obama will get the taste slapped out his mouth, by whoever his GOP opponent is....EVEN SARAH PALIN.
