Of course she could probably beat Obama and I have no doubt that she could turn our economy around and have us back to full employment in a year or less.

If you only listen to Rush and Sean and Fox and Mark Levin and Michael Savage and Neil Borks and Laura ingrim ect...than you might get that impression...

But that's still a very small percentage of Americans and or people....(the same % of people follow all these shows around, cause they all pretty much echo each other...and that is 'Obama baaaad....Liberals baaaad...Republicans goooood....Conservitism goooood.....baaaaah....baaaah......(And believe it or not...I actually got that from Michael Savage...refering to people who allow themselves to be brainwashed by either political party as being 'Sheeple'...baaaah....

You may find this hard to believe...but on many shows I listen too, and people I encounter...seem perfectly content witht the Pres...or don't have feelings either way...most are not obscessed with this stuff...

As far as Sara Palin...when she first came out...she would of definatly had my vote...but now that she's just become another political machine...nah...

Yep. Were going to keep hammering on Sarah Palin until she develops a serious eating disorder and blows up bigger than Kirstie Alley.

The election of Obama already showed all those things. By electing Obama, Americans showed they do not care about race, intelligence or class.

Really how does that explain his current total approval rating dropping 20pts in the past 2 yrs? Currently 25% of the people strongly approve and 42% strongly disapprove, those numbers are nearly completely flipped what they were 2 yrs ago.

I'm not a Palin fan but all the poll numbers surely indicate if the elections were held tomorrow a goat could beat Obama.

No she couldn't, nominating her would be snatching defeat form the jaws of victory. Look for the Obama camp to try to boost her credibility.

You need structure and commitment and forebearance to be president- a Quitter doesn't make it. Nor does a woman who backed a man in her home state that could not even prevail over a write-in candidate.
Palin has demonstrated the attention span of a fruit fly. Reality show today, maybe president tomorrow and a new brand of handbags and perfumes on QVC.

Wow you got that way wrong. She has single minded determination. Everything is calculated with an eye on a WH run.

While I wholeheardedly agree with her and wish her the best, I must also say, the just about anyone could mop the floor with our national embarrasement of a POTUS.
