Six in 10 Americans say they'd never vote for former Alaska governor

The nation's most popular Republican, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has very little chance of defeating President Obama in 2012 according to a recently released ABC News/Washington Post poll.

The one-time McCain running mate trailed the president substantially on all fronts, according to the poll data. Six in 10 Americans, they found, outright reject the notion of ever voting for her.

The only similarities in how both politicians stacked up, ABC noted, were in the number of survey respondents who said they'd consider supporting one or the other. In the column registering those who would "definitely" support either candidate, Obama came out ahead 26 percent to 8 percent. A full 59 percent said they would "definitely not" support Palin, while only 43 percent said the same of Obama.

An earlier ABC News poll, from October, found that 67 percent of Americans considered Palin to be "unqualified" for the job of president.

1. She has to be the GOP nominee that way they can guaranteed Obama gets reelected

2. I won't be happy 'til it's 9 out of 10 that won't vote for her.

:(

3. Don't think this means much yet.

They are still working on crafting her image for the masses. No telling who she will be by election time. The "quitter" image will be spun like a top and come out something else when it stops.

7. Yes, exactly.

These things always give me flashbacks to the first Gulf War. The public opposed starting it by 80%. Three weeks later, after a media propaganda barrage, 80% favored the war. A lot of good antiwar Dems took bad hits in that one. As I wrote this, I realized that this was no doubt a big factor in the Dems supporting GWII.

10. Yup. The media can make a big difference in public opinion...and fast.

CNN is partnering with the tea party peeps for a Presidential debate. That could very likely work to Palin's benefit if she is running.

6. In the dictionary under "DUMBFUCK" they have her picture.

8. 6 of 10 is not good enough......

Don't forget that small matter of the electoral college and the Republican US Supreme Court, both of which elected that other idiot in 2000.
