Oh sarah..
don't even think about it, probably will not happen. Why would anyone want to see something as serious as the election of the person who will be the head of our country a comedy show?

Agreed; it would be a farce for the GOP to even think about nominating her.

As the month pass, and the economy still in the tank, which i believe we are no where getting this economy rolling, i don't believe for a second that obama's numbers will continue to rise, have a hard time believeing this as we speak, with where we are headed! I have family who live all over this Country, they each are complaining about their State, and how bad they are doing, East Coast is not doing that well, most of my family come from the E.C. Housing criris is still going down the tubes, without a good real estate market, things are not looking up. Too many foreclosures still on the market.

Hope and Change BS doesn't work when it hasn't happened!!!

Many Americans vote by what's in their wallet,not by political party and if the economy hasn't vastly improved Obama is gone in 2012.

What alot of people don't consider is the unpredictable like Bush / Katrina,BP Oil Spill,Natural Disasters,Political upheavals, Domestic terrorist attacks and /or domestic and foreign monetary crisis things like these and the public's reaction to them can influence the 2012 election also.

Don't think so. Didn't they put up John McCain last time.

It didn't make a difference who the Republicans put up in 2008, It would have taken a miracle for them to have won.

The lesson learned should be for Reps not to nominate the candidate the media most approves of, they will turn against you in the general.

I do not know this as fact, but it does seem to me, the Republicans in a year they do not think they can pull off a victory will put up a nothing candidate (I don't mean this in a mean way) and save the better choices for times when they have a chance to pull it off. Look at 1996 when Dole won the nomination and then again in 2008.

Obama's constant meddling in the economy is not going to cause it to roar to life as it did under JFK or Reagan, and he doesn't have the guts to really slash rates, given his well-documented ignorance regarding the correlation between tax rates and a healthy & robust economy, which he and his equally clueless Democratic cohorts have never acknowledged.

New 2012 Presidential Campaign Poll: Obama Rising, Palin Falling - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
Palin is losing major support with the republican base, and independents (she was already weak there to begin with.) Today's speech was the nail in the coffin. I don't think she can come back from this disaster, and the republicans are circling for the kill. Obama's ratings are higher than Bush's, Clinton's, Reagan's at the same point during their presidencies. Also keeping in mind his amazing talent in regards to public speaking...he should be our president in 2012 as well.
