Even Dennis Kucinich Would Kick Sarah Palin’s Ass In 2012
Sarah Palin is Guilty
Sarah Palin has fallen so far since the heady days of 2008 that Dennis Kucinich would now beat her if her was the 2012 Democratic nominee.
Somebody at Public Policy Polling got the bright idea of matching up Dennis Kucinich against Sarah Palin and Donald Trump in a fun little game of what would happen if. The results show just how badly Sarah Palin has crashed and burned. If Sarah Palin was matched up against Dennis Kucinich in 2012, Kucinich would beat Palin 43%-36%.
Sarah Palin earns almost the same amount of support with Independents against Kucinich (33%) that she does against Obama (32%). A trend that has changed since 2008 is that women hate Sarah Palin. Women support Kucinich over Palin by 20 points, 49%-29%.
Yesterday, Gallup released a poll that showed Sarah Palin in a dead heat with with Mitt Romney (20%-18%), but nobody should read too much into this because Sarah Palin would lose a General Election match up against the most liberal member of Congress. Sarah Palin isn’t back. She is filling the Fox News/celeb vacuum created by the absence of Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee.
Republicans are so desperate to support someone, anyone with a name that they have traded their support of one reality TV star with no campaign (Trump) for another (Palin). The reason why Palin did so well in the Gallup poll is simple. She has the highest name recognition of any Republican in the potential field. In the Gallup poll, Sarah Palin’s name recognition was at 96%. Newt Gingrich was second at 84%, and Mitt Romney was third at 83%.
Sarah Palin’s poll “resurgence” is evidence of nothing more than her high name recognition. Remember in 2007 Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani were the frontrunners for their parties’ nominations too, yet it was Barack Obama and John McCain who ended up squaring off in the fall. If you want a measure of Palin’s real chances in 2012, all you need to know is that she would lose to Dennis Kucinich.
If Palin can’t beat Kucinich, she doesn’t have a prayer against Obama. The truth is that only thing consistency in Sarah Palin’s polling is that most Americans are repulsed by her.
We will see a President Kucinich before we ever see a President Palin, and that’s some real political straight talk.

All this is very well and good–except for one thing. Sarah Palin is weak and scared. She will never be able to put on her big girl pumps and actually not seem like the dimwit she is. She LOVES the speculation about her running, but I believe she’s suffering bowel problems right now at the thought of having to talk about policy and not just be a presidential heckler. She’s so thin skinned she would never survive a run.
FOX isn’t kicking her out of the nest, so this tells me she’s not going anywhere.

Jason I am begging you to take that picture of her out and burn it. Its like a pig with lipstick! Now where did I get that?
I have been tweeting about this trying to get a reaction, but I think they are all hiding in the cellar. In fact the Palin supporters aren’t fighting back much anymore. her loyal minions are begging her to run on twitter and they have been quoting the poll that says she’s equal to Mitt Romney quite frequently, but they don’t really understand what it means. What it means is I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Republicans nominate Barack Obama in 2012
I think she is rapidly losing fans due to her complete ignoring of them.

We only have to wait for her to declare, then the REAL vetting will begin!!! That’s what she fears the most — telling the whole truth. For now she can ignore and deflect but once she’s officially on a ticket again, off come the gloves and especially so when she’s not riding in on McPain’s shoulders. It was already ruled that she abused her power in the Troopergate debacle and she had the nerve to lie about that outcome. Her continued, unfounded attacks on the President should be a warning to all of her true character.

Can’t you just hear the braying coming out of that mouth?

I can believe Sarah has become anathema to many women.
(1) To traditional women, she has become the kind of weenie- magnet who poaches their boyfriend at the tailgate party or gets caught screwing the bridegroom at the reception.
(2) To women who want to make their own way, she is the Judas-¥ who spitefully cuts them down.
As for the mean old panty-sniffing men who form her retinue, well, she just might be aging out of her category.

Jason, I am lovin that photo. That woman is an idiot and the devil in a dress.

Yes in that photo Sarah looks like the aliens on V, a TV show. They open their mouths wide and huge sharp teeth destroy their victim. That’s what Sarah tries to do.
I spelled her name wrong in my first post above Sarah. I was steamed after reading Fits News-Sarah is Back article linked from Joe McGinniss’s blog.
In my day conservatives weren’t as stupid as they are now. The bozo who wrote that piece is a moron. No wonder he’s considering Sarah again.

V? Wasn’t that on in the 1980′s?

Yes BUT they just has a new version of it for two seasons! I loved it and they just canceled it. You might be able to watch it at hulu.com or Netflix. The finale was just a few months ago.
The women look normal but when they open their mouths wide they turn into creepy lizards who eat people. It’s more fun to watch then it sounds. Anna the V leader reminds me of Sarah- cold, blood thirsty, heartless.

Yes, Sarah is back, what a shame. It was so nice without her. Fox is advertising her all over, saying that she is back and apparently will bring her wisdom to the 2012 election.
I will have to read Newshound (thank you Reynardine), because there is no way I can watch her.

You’re welcome. I forwarded a Secret Service tweet about Fox that News Hounds just published to this blog.

I really believe that Kucinich will never get anywhere in a national election because he’s not physically attractive and the vast majority of Americans just want someone nice to look at and to tell them everything’s gonna be ok.
Maybe his wife should run instead.

Kevin, well DUH!!! My reaction this was not only how liberal Kucinich was, but that if you’re “hot” and a guy who isn’t good looking and doesn’t have nice hair can still kick your ass, it really IS all over!
