Will Palin get the R nomination in 2012 ?

[steve2470]

I hope she does ! I think *ANY* Democratic nominee would massacre her. I'm not sure if she can actually win the R nod though.

1. Only if people who are certifiably insane do the nominating...

2. Meg Whitman - she's rich AND stupid

Perfect fodder for the grist mill.

3. I don't think she wants it.

She wants money. As long as she can make more money pimping herself to wingnuts, I think she'll keep doing the same thing she's doing now.

5. I think you're right, she wants money -- BUT, I can definitely see her primarying in 2012 --

not wanting to actually win, but just to give the others a scare by coming close - and thereby building up her stock as a celebrity/reality star.

Will it hurt the Repubs? Sure! Will she care? No! So actually, this is good news!

4. No. Next question? n/t

6. GW Bush was the natural

follower of Reagan and she is the natural follower of Bush. In the republican sense, marching to destruction of the USA. But at least some will get rich.

7. The teabaggers love her. The media loves her. She will be tough to beat.

[JoePhilly]

9. She'd never make it through the primary.

She'd have to talk to the press directly a few times ... and she can't handle a single tough question.

15. Agreed. Palin is the clear front runner for the GOP

and would be a real challenge for Obama.

Cough...Cough...

No really, that's the message I believe I'll stick to. Yep.

[AlinPA]

16. Not a challenge for Obama, but any GOP primary candidate.

[tanyev]

8. I think her fellow Republican contenders would massacre her before she got very far.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. I hope not.

I'm sick to death of seeing her name anywhere.

[NorthCarolina]

11. Looking forward to Tina Fey's return to SNL if Palin does run. eom

[mstinamotorcity]

12. No, No, No

and Hell NO. The repugs really don't consider her credible. Just cute. You betcha!!!

[Clio the Leo]

13. Powers that be wont let that happen...

.... the unofficial GOP super delegates will see to it.

We should be so lucky though.

[AlinPA]

17. Their convention is controlled by the Christian fundamentalists and now teabaggers.

[Perky]

14. If she wins Iowa, then she wins SC, If she wins SC she has it locked up.

It is all about organization and network in in the Iowa Caucuses. My guess is that if the Iowa Tea Psrty movement is still viable at that time. They, along with the Iowa RTL crowd, will gift wrap the state for her.

[Brother Buzz]

18. She's a stalking horse

[Retrograde]

19. I don't think she wants it - it's actual work!

Going around being the darling of the tea party set is one thing. Being an actual candidate and having to debate all those other candidates is hard work, and the half-term gov isn't cut out for that.

[catgirl]

20. Who cares?
