Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Can Palin beat Obama in 2012 if she gets the nomination?????

I only read half the thread, so please pardon if somebody said this already.

A few points. Obama WILL be the Dem nominee unless some dickweasel assassinates him. Get real. The Dems are not above sacrificing one of their own for the good of the "cause". Sorry about the tinfoil stuff. Palin's greatest challenge will be overcoming the Republican machine she seems so desperately to want to be a part of. If they don't destroy her in the primaries, she could beat Obama today. Third, the economy ain't currently tanking. It is slowly gaining. There are lots of people out of work though, and that ain't getting better. They vote. If the economy keeps coming around or even gains a bit more momentum, then the election will turn probably not on who the Reps run against the National Lawn Jockey, but on which party is able to steal the credit from the other for the perceived turnaround. This is assuming the Reps make a significant gain in tomorrow's elections.

I'm not sure Palin would make a good President. I think she would definitely be successful as a VP. This latter has nothing to do with the original question though.

Palin's negatives are too high to win high federal office. Much more so than when she was running with McCain. Sorry.

GFY. Sorry, not sorry.

Put not yer treasure, where moth nor rust can decay..

Don't put yer eggs in a bad basket.

She's an energy sink. A very bad idea.

You mean kind of like you did voting for Obama?

You voted for Obama. By definition, you are either an idiot or a traitor. Which is it?

Aside from hunting today,the excitement of today's elections has me unable to sleep,as well.

Yep, I think it is safe to say, that Nancy Pelosi is soon going to be OUT OF A JOB (as Speaker of the House), by tomorrow evening..

And your "negatives" here on the Campfire are so high that your posts should be flagged with a **dumb [bleep]** symbol to alert members to use caution before reading them.

If ya' wanna' see "negatives".........watch what happens to your liberal, Obama loving, Democraps today.

You schithead!!

What orifice did you pull this from?

Palin wants to be part of the machine that wants to destroy her?

LMAO!

I would not want to see Mrs Palin nominated and would would work to see that she does not get the nomination. This is not to say that I do not agree with many of her political opinions and if nominated I would vote for her.

Simply put she is much more valuable to the Conservative cause as a talking head. And she would have no chance of defeating any Democrat. She would make an excellent DNC Chair.

I believe I offered this bet before with no takers:

$100.00 says she does not seek the nomination.
$100.00 says if she does run she will not be nominated.
$100.00 says that if she does run she will not be elected.

These bets are for the 2012 US Presidential election. This is an all or nothing deal you must take all the bets. Settlement will be after the results of the 2012 Presidential election are certfied.

Any takers?

The whole thing is conflicted. There are those in the Rep party who want to embrace her and her popularity and use her/it. She is conforming enough to the mainstream to satisfy a lot of the movers and shakers. She is "mavericky" enough to scare some of the other movers and shakers. I don't think you'll get past the primaries without some heavy-duty support.

I think she hammers the old boys that are gonna run for President....unless we get new blood (Christie) Palin is in the hunt. Despite what the Roves/Lotts have to say, she ain't one of them.

I agree she is in the hunt, but so are a lot of people, and a true conservative, of which she is kind of...has the deck stacked against him/her at the primary level. My point is that should she run, I think she has a much better chance in the general election than she does in the primaries. If she can get past them, she would beat the Muslim at this point. Who knows what will happen in two years though. Look at Bush I's approval rating a scant year before The First Black President beat him.

I would vote for Palin over any of the usual Rep suspects that I have heard floated.

She would be foolish to enter any primary. She rose from obscurity 2+ years ago to a level of wealth and notoriety few ever obtain.

She can ride that horse for quite awhile longer further enriching herself and enjoying the adulation of her claque. Also she will be providing a valuable service to the Conservative cause.

You go girl!

It takes a rare person to resist the siren call of the Presidency if it is within their grasp, or seemingly so.

me 2

She will not run!!Make 20 times the cash with the speech thing .Why you think she quit the other job? Cash!!

She might wait til 2016.
I'd take your bet but I alraeady have a similar one with Trips.

BTW, where is Trips? Anybody seen him last few days?
