POLL: Palin is overwhelmingly chosen as GOP's new role model

[Bluebear]

A new poll sheds some light on which direction the Republican Party will turn in the wake of its recent electoral thumping. Rasmussen asked Republicans, "Looking to the future, should the Republican Party become more like Bush, McCain, or Palin?" It seems the student has become the teacher, or something, because 55 percent chose Palin, while McCain garnered only 24 percent support.

Suits me just fine.

[bkkyosemite]

chairman to lead them. :rofl:

[Ardent15]

10. "She is a brilliant woman who was smeared"

She is a brilliant woman who was smeared by the obama loving liberal media. She also had not "campaigned " for the "Presidencty"for 2 years like the other three running ( and still Biden was the ultimate gaffe machine.) "Infact" without a "telepromter" Obama can't really seem to speak umm faster umm uhh, than a few words a min uhh. He also had some of the worst campaign gaffes but the media chose to ignore that. Next time around she'll be seasoned on the National stage and will be a force to be "reconed "with.



From the comment zone.

13. "Whoever" "wrote" this is a complete "idiot". "Nobody" "smeared" Sarah Palin except

Sarah "herself". The woman "is" a "moron".

[Ichingcarpenter]

21. He and she is a force to be "reconed "with.

I really find this sad when we have spell check.

Its' Moran' by the way, but that's a DU thing.

[Botany]

15. you gotta love 'em

"she'll be seasoned on the National stage"

[Lint Head]

19. Oh my god! Her brilliance is blinding! Help!!

[driver8]

20. I am as pleased as punched that she will be re-coned.

Her old cones were not holding up so well...

[beac]

25. I think all Thanksgiving turkeys would agree that she is INDEED a force to be "reconed "with.

Seems like Republican turkeys agree.

Sarah Palin = Inescapable Cone of Death, you betcha!

[cynatnite]

11. The gift that just keeps on giving. n/t

[Historic NY]

12. More years in the wilderness hunting Moose for Repukes.

[Still Sensible]

14. Yep the Neocons Have Turned the Party over to the Idiocracy

wow. This could be fun.

[seabeyond]

16. she lost a lot of old die hard republican vote in panhandle of texas. n/t

[driver8]

17. That is great news!! I hope she runs in 2012...

We have seen what she is made of -- all hat, no cattle.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. With those three choices, they are all but guaranteed to lose.

[DemzRock]

22. This is idiotic. Only 3 choices? You know that other leaders ...

will exert their force over the next few years. I doubt the GOP leadership will stay the course with Phalin.

[IDemo]

23. I feel like we should do something for McCain

He's given us the gift that keeps on giving.

[Juche]

24. Good. The more she talks the scarier the GOP becomes to everyone but the wingnuts

And the wingnuts only make up 25% of the electorate. If she is a presidential candidate she will have to engage in dozens of debates and answer hundreds of questions. She won't be able to hide like she did as a VP candidate.

[walkaway]

27. All of those Rolex republicans must be so proud.

I can't wait 'til she gets some book learnin'.

[Trajan]

28. Strident ignorance is SO sexy !

Yeah ... right ....

[Webster Green]

29. Perfect!

Dems will be in power for quite a while.

Heh! :smoke:

[ColbertWatcher]

30. Hurray democracy! n/t

[spindrifter]

31. They should check what moral reconation is!

[DFW]

32. Bush, McCain or Palin is their future?

Poor Michael Steele, he is doomed before he even gets started.

If THAT is their choice among which to choose a role model, then
by 2012, the Republican Party will have become a very cosy little
organization indeed--everyone left will know everyone else.

[AnnieBW]

33. Stupid, shallow and incoherent

Yep, she's the perfect Republican role model. You betcha!
