I don't get why you think this. She survived a full on presidential campaign so I've got no reason to believe she can't survive primaries.
If Romney couldn't win preObamacare how the does he win now? Palin's stock has risen more than any of those guys since the previous election.

Thx. He's ranked just behind Palin, but his undecided numbers in the area of positive/negative view are kinda high @ 28%. Might be something to that.
She'll have 10x the number of opponents in the primaries that she would face in a general election. Fellow presidential hopefuls would kill her in a debate.
I think just the opposite. The results of 2008 plus Palin quitting as AK governor effectively sank her chances for 2012.
To be fair, none of us really know about whats going to be the scenario. At this point in the last presidential cycle we were gearing up for Clintons part 2. A badly or well run campaign means the world.
In the general I agree. Amidst the people who vote in GOP primaries? Not a chance.
That being said this is a political prediction thread so I'm going to go ahead and say that Palin will beat out Romney and Gingrich for the nom based on a strong showing in the SC primary after being in a tight 3 way race with those 2 in Iowa and NH.
Name your beer and I'll take that bet.
Gingrich and Romney? Seriously?
I think we are looking at Rick Perry, or some other Southern Governor...
When did the Dems lose control again? If anything the Dems are more powerful in the Senate being senior members now..
I think Perry is positioning himself for a run. It is rather obvious he is angling for it.
Earmarks aren't an issue that people actually give a about. You know that right?
The tea party will reject Romney just as the far-right did in 2008. They cannot get past his religion.
If Palin does run, I think Obama will win again. I mean, let's face it, if Palin is the republican nominee, I will vote for Obama. And I am an independent.
If Palin wins, I will move.
I predict that someone like Haley Barber (sp?) will get the republican nomination, and that there will be a tea party type candidate, but it won't be Palin, because she is more interested in money than governance.
I think you are right about this, RG. I can't believe that the people who voted for him actually believe that he has any intention in actually fulfilling his term in Austin.
^^^I just don't think he will get the nomination. I don't think people are ready for another Texas governor as Presidential nominee.
Obama will be sure to get the Democratic nomination. That means, as a Democrat, I get to vote in the Republican primary, so I can pick the worst possible candidate.
I think you are right that nationally that won't happen.
My top choices would be, in order, Palin, Perry, and Romney.
Of the three it would be a toss-up as to who would be more electable between perry and romney.
Don't think that potential for Dems crossing party lines vote in Republican primaries hasn't occurred to anyone else.
The Republicans have served up a cornocopia of crappy candidates.
BUWAHAHAHAHAHA
I think you'll are forgetting Jeb Bush...that's why the wing-nut media has been trying to reshape the Bush administration legacy..
I see Jeb Bush in 2016 and after.
If RP doesn't get his chairmanship this time, a third party run in 2012 could sink the GOP, if RP lived so long and chose to run. There's gonna be a few disappointed Tea Partiers in two years.
Palin as a third party candidate could also derail GOP presidential aspirations in 2012, but then she'd have to live it down, like Ross Perot.
(Personal darkhorse-dreamboat: Indiana governor Mitch Daniels.)
Where's the list anyway? I'd like to look up # 4265.
I think thats a ty thing to do, to be quite honest. I think its completely undermining of open primary systems and I think you should rethink your intentions to do so. If you want to do anything vote in a 3rd party primary in an effort to get them more ballot exposure.
Anyone think Bloomberg runs?
