OK so 2012 is here. You have had 4 years of Obama. Here is his grade card:
1. Economy: GDP is at about 3.5%, unemployment is still high at 8.6% but has been declining. Inflation is a moderate 3.1% for the prior year.
2. Iraq: We are still there but troops have been drawn down to 40,000 from 140,000 and are largely kept on bases outside the major cities and no longer do patrols in the cities.
3. Afghanistan: The war rages on with no end in sight and Obama is talking of a withdraw as all the European allies have done already.
4. Health Care: They passed a bill but it was weak and has had only a marginal effect on the number of uninsured and the skyrocketing cost.
5. Iran: Obama was much more sucessful here. He managed to get Russia and China to convince Tehran to deal. Tehran did not agree to quit nuclear projects but now will allow a full inspection regime to ensure that they will not use nuclear for weaponry. In return Obama agreed to lift all sanctions and promised to not attack Iran in the future.
Assuming this, here are your choices:
why would anyone bother to vote on this: it isn't anywhere near 2012, she most likely will not be the candidate and we have no idea what the world situation will be...I would vote for "none of the above"
As one of those who is out of his mind I must ask you who the Republican Party you speak of is. I think you got that from HuffPo.
Have you heard some of the stuff that comes out of Palin's mouth? How could anyone trust her to run a country? I have heard numerous Republicans say that Palin ruined McCain's chances...these are people I know in real life, no one you would know.
I find it ironic how a lot of the Palin supporters are probably the same people that were opposed to Hillary because they don't want a female president.

Your basis for this poll is flawed. It is making way to many assumptions and claiming them as fact. It also allows for no unknown to surface and change the balance of the election.
Don't know if this was your intention, but it is the way I see it.
If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to choose one then I would go with Obama.
