Poll question: Most beatable GOP Presidential candidate you HOPE will be on the 2012 ballot

[PBS Poll-435]

1. You know it is Palin

Bless her moneygrubbing little heart.


In NYC or Boston they would call her part of the Mafia.


In Alaska, Mama Grizzleliesrefudiate.

[Lucinda]

2. Way too early for me...

The media can reshape any of them into someone competative

[Statistical]

3. No question it is FALIN.

She is mocked be even a significant fraction of the Republicans. Impossible for her to win. Hell impossible for her to even get close enough to cheat and win.

[Crazy Dave]

4. I really hope it is Palin because...

I just can't get enough of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

"I can see Russia from my house!" :rofl:

[Capitalocracy]

5. About Palin...

Watch those poll numbers change once she wins the primary. A lot of Republicans don't like her, but what are they going to do, vote for Obama? Some might, and the Palin scare factor may help overcome lack of Democratic enthusiasm, but it could be closer than we think, and maybe even lead to a horrible disaster.

6. Tough choice, but I went for Jindal

After Reagan and Bush Junior, I'd have thought the people saying "Palin will never be elected, she's too dumb" would have learned by now. Whereas Jindal's "Mr Rogers" broadcast caused even his former supporters to abandon him in droves.

7. I should add that Palin doesn't even want to run

That is not the scheme.

I guess we should really worry about Tawd, because he is the source of the "ambition."

[Rex]

8. Without a doubt it is Palin, she is unelectable and would offer us our

biggest opportunity imo. Oddly enough, she is completely marketable...that is a disturbing coincidence.

[HopeHoops]

9. Toad from "American Graffiti"

[TheKentuckian]

10. I think Dole needs another go.

[Phlunk]

11. Palin could be a little scary

As dumb as she is, the last polling I saw shows she does very well with the middle class, conservative or liberal. They view her as likable and "one of us" Elections are won by voter turnout and swaying the people in the middle that do not vote on issue but rather emotions. She might do surprisingly well in that battle. But she is dumb and that should work against her with all groups.

[CTyankee]

18. Huh? The last poll I saw had her at 50% unfavorable and only 25% favorable.

She's goin' nowhere but to the bank. She's playing this out to make more money but in the end she won't run...

[kentuck]

12. Reagan or Bush Jr...

They will be easy to beat. Remember?

[Phlunk]

13. exactly

[AlinPA]

14. Haley Barbour.

[CTyankee]

17. I agree. He's a fat, mush mouthed ugly guy. I don't care if he's a "good politician"

like Tweety and some others like to say. He looks and sounds like crap to anybody sentient out of the Deep South...it'll be a quick trip back to Jackson for him...

[etherealtruth]

15. There is no "easy win" ....

If I recall correctly a certain simian drunken frat boy was "easy to beat" ... a couple of wars later, the destruction of the American middle class, environmental disaster .... I can't imagine an other incompetent/ right wing presidency.

There are no sure things in politics

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. I want Palin to go away long before 2012

I don't want her on a ballot anywhere, beatable or not.
