The survey, conducted by the Democratic Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group, tested a voting group of crucial importance to Democrats: women who supported Obama in 2008 but stayed home or backed Republicans and third-party candidates this year.
Obama commands 62 percent support among those women, while just 23 percent of that group incline toward a Republican alternative.
Tested against Palin — the lone Republican woman who ranks as a top presidential contender — Obama’s advantage was even more dramatic.
Eighty percent of the women tested in the poll favored the president in a contest against Palin, while just 10 percent said they’d support the former GOP vice presidential candidate.
So just who is Sarah Palin's demographic these days?
She seems to have lost the old school Republicans who are now turning on her in droves.
The Washington D.C. power brokers don't want her.
She has lost the hunters because in her zeal to prove she was a hunter, she proved just the opposite.
She has lost the Alaskan voters because, well because we know her!
She is also rapidly losing the pundits on Fox News.
And now she has completely lost the female voters.
Who is left?
Just the rapidly aging Teabaggers, those with a severe mental disorder, and of course who could forget Palinman?
Of course none of this deters the Grizzled Mama who still believes that SHE is America's last great hope.
"I will run for president if I believe that I have the best shot to win the race," she said in a TV interview with ABC's Barbara Walters.
"I would run if I believe that other candidates willing to put themselves forward in the name of public service, if they don't have a shot at winning, I would offer myself up," she added.
You know if she were not such a truly horrible person, I might even feel badly for her.
Now all I want to do is make sure I have enough popcorn to make it through to the end of this slowly unfolding disaster movie.
This article ties in to her unpopularity...
ReplyDeletePalin Overexposure Continues to Alienate Voters (Particularly Women)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/margie-omero/palin-overexposure-contin_b_797370.html
But while Republicans fought over Palin's endorsement, they viscerally demonized Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Despite these efforts, and a bruising election cycle, this week's Bloomberg poll, shows Speaker Pelosi more popular than Sarah Palin.
Much like Michael Steele's unwelcome bid for re-election as RNC chair, it's unusual to see someone so unpopular considering a run for President. An examination of her numbers easily reveals a self-inflicted wound to her popularity, as if she has been running a negative campaign against herself. It's no wonder both elites and the public feel she is a negative influence on politics.
Palin had no business accepting the V.P. position in 2008, she has done NOTHING to improve her understanding of the world, or this country, for that matter,in the two years since, and she most certainly does not deserve to even be CONSIDERED as a Presidential candidate now. This is an unserious woman. I'm sick to death of the press (and about 23% of some very, very ignorant Americans) even giving her the time of day.
ReplyDeleteI see Palin's book dropped to #5 on the NY Times bestseller's list. Pres. Obama's children's book is #1 on children's picture books.
ReplyDeleteTYPO IN YOUR HEADLINE - should be 2012
ReplyDeleteWhen will it be over? Please give us a time frame!!! Years, months, weeks, days????
ReplyDeleteRead the Bean article. Feels good that a life time hunter confirm virtually all the points the Immoralists were making.
ReplyDeleteSarah is a fraud in almost everything she does.
And I don't believe she hit that caribou ever. Somebody else took that shot.
To facebook lurker, is your fake fb page under the name Justin?
ReplyDeleteImagine, if you would, a woman who was capable of taking advice, avoided the spotlight after she quit her governorship, and spent her time diligently studying foreign and economic policy while crafting her image. After two years, she emerges as a candidate for the presidency, polished, informed and invincible.
ReplyDeleteThank God the woman doesn't listen for I fear she could have been president!
Anon 4:51
ReplyDelete"Bloomberg poll, shows Speaker Pelosi more popular than Sarah Palin."
Whether people like Pelosi or not, she worked hard and did a good job relative to her responsibilities.
Not to mention that she is literate and articulate, knows policy, and is also a mother of several children.
Sarah however.....is also a mother of several children.
It isn't just that she is a horrible, horrid person. . .she had NO business accepting McCain's offer. NONE!
ReplyDeleteShe brought on the backlash, hell, she deserved it for her flimsy resume and abilities - but for two years she and conservative pundits keep blaming the media and not the source of weakness in a Palin candidacy. Charles Krauthammer may finally be speaking true, but he still peddled that old adage, “the animus to her is unprecedented.”
No it isn't. The attacks on Hillary Clinton were nasty, brutish and brandished with glee and white hot fire. I'm not even a Hillary fan (much) but I respect her bonafides.
Sarah has never belonged in anything beyond Mayor, and that was even taxing to her city and her Administration (even though it wasn't rocket science, she still had to hire a city manager.)
As Governor, her integrity of her platform (as a reformer and something different than the CBC) started leaking like a sieve immediately, in that she hired ill-suited Commissioners, high level administrators and unilaterally imposed unprecedented costs to the State for her lifestyle. Even though she campaigned for the job, she didn't like the impositions the role demanded of her, living in Juneau and spending long days away from her family.
She made the public pay for her choices. How's that for a fiscal conservative?
Why is it okay to pile on liberal politicos like Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, but the conservative wing cry foul when Sarah Palin is properly examined for fitness for office?
ReplyDeleteI watched Chris Matthews crunch the numbers. NBC/WSJ poll shows Sarah losing to Obama by double digits,55% Obama, 33% Palin. Her unfavorables are up to 50%. Only 11% of the Elite Washington DC Republicans think favorably of her. Her book sales are dropping. That TV program is becoming a punchline. The Haiti trip looks like an ad for Samaritan's Purse, rather than a publicity piece that shows Sarah's global awareness of third world countries.
ReplyDeleteIf the point of this post is to discuss whether women will vote for Sarah or Obama, they will vote for Obama. Secretly, women want the right to make their own medical decisions without government interference. Women are proud of the way Hillary Clinton is serving her country. And, today's women remember the mean girl from high school. She is someone that is never forgotten, and Sarah Palin stirs up those bad teen aged memories. Women see right through her. You guys have to stop falling for those short skirts, high heels, heavy make up, big hair and wink wink lip licking.
I agree. I am going to love watching her go down in flames.
ReplyDeleteBTW interesting article on Chuckie and Munger salmon fishing. Chuckie is such an asshole. Palingate I think.
The only (very few) women that i know who are still Sarah supporters are those sad, pathetic, wispy women who either do everything their husbands tell them to do (and hubbies are 70+ horny old GOPers), or those girls who would have done ANYTHING to sit at the popular table in the cafeteria. Any woman that I know (in rural PA, so not "Elitist") who has an ounce of self-esteem (or who knows anything about hunting - that SPA episode about hunting finished her for all the true hunting women, who KNOW hunting, guns, etc.and could easily see through the charade) have long since acknowledged Sarah's sell by date.
ReplyDeletePlease, someone end this disaster movie!
ReplyDeleteMore like America's last great DOPE!
ReplyDeleteMany tea Party people no longer support her. They feel that she USED them, collecting huge speaking fees at their events and then supporting Carly Fiorina (over tea party favorite DeVore)in CA and McCain in AZ.
ReplyDeleteWHO is left? The KKK and AIP people, or as "techno" now points out in nearly all his/her posts (at c4p)
'WHITE WHITE WHITE." techno writes
l o n g posts, using upper & lower case - except when he/she writes 'WHITE," which is always in caps.
Palin's fans honestly think that there are enough racists and hard-core evangelicals out there to put the dingbat in the White House.
Not even close.
Perhaps us Dems will have another option. Until then, I won't commit.
ReplyDeleteI got it! She says "I would run if I believe that other candidates willing to put themselves forward in the name of public service, if they don't have a shot at winning, I would offer myself up," she added."
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans don't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning in 2012. Who ever they run will be expendable. She is willing to offer herself as the sacrificial lamb against Obama. She knows she is is expendable. What a good patriot to offer herself up as the candidate who would not have a snowballs chance in hell to win. lol
Gryphen - Ack! Does it have to be a 'slowly unfolding disaster'?
ReplyDeleteIf Palinman was a virile 18-year-old male who was attractive, sarah would have boo hoo hooed about how he was stalking her and ruining her life. She would have generated as much ink as possible about how a teenage boy was obsessed with her. She would have made certain everyone knew a young man was paying attention to her.
ReplyDeleteHey, sarah, like attracts like. Hence, Palinman! You bizarre old hag.
Get a clue....
LMAO!
Anon @ 5:18
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't matter if she reinvented herself after resigning her post as a first time Governor.
She wouldn't be able to shake the "Quitter" title.
It blows my mind that some people still suggest that if scara bones up on world history, politics, does some reading and behaves, that she would have a shot--OMFG--HOW? She is still the same rotten person down deep to the core and no amount of prep-school political training is going to change that. She would be just as dangerous but better at hiding it. We are not that dumb and thankfully her web of lies is starting to unravel. I sure wish the media would stop commenting on her possible running as if it was something that was plausible. Continuing to compare her popularity to Obama is a joke, silly, embarrassing, (wish I had a better vocabulary and knew how to spell ..........let's just say it drives me insane. Anybody with a brain knows she is not as "seriously" popular as the Pres. Sure she is popular to poke fun, she probably takes the mirror ball trophy for that, but it stops there.
ReplyDeleteRemember the ladies that organized the Alaska Women Against Sarah Palin rally in the early days of her VP campaign? Oh how the Right Wing went after them. Normal, every day Alaskan women who were as real and hard working as Sarah.
ReplyDeleteOf the remaining Alaskan women I know that still manage to "like" Sarah, none of them would support her being hired as their boss or co-worker, and obviously never as an elected official ever again.
Yeppers!
ReplyDeleteFox pundit Charles Krauthammer put some knots on sarah´s head with the ban hammer.
Ouch!
Speaking of ouch. Todd must be losing sleep over becoming some lifer´s boy toy in prison. Todd is famous, so every con will want a piece of his tail. Whoever owns Todd will prostitute him out for a couple of cigarettes. Sleep well, Todd, sleep well.
Hell, even women who hate Barack Obama and like Sarah Palin are hesitant about voting for her. Case in point, I found myself in conversation with a birther. She also believes Obama is Muslim. I asked her which Republican she would like to be president, and you could not believe how her face suddenly changed into a guarded, careful expression. The first words out of her mouth? "Well, I like Sarah Palin, but she's not ready."
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteMore desperation coming forth...
Now the Pac to take down RINO (Republicans)check this
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20025796-503544.html
I am not happy with Obama and feel like he has reneged on many of the campaign promises that I thought were important. I really hope that he decides not to run again and there is a new face for 2012.
ReplyDeletePalin is about the only thing that would guarantee me to put that Obama anger aside and vote for him anyway, though. Obama may have lost his principles once he moved into the White House, but at least he's not an amoral idiot.
Buh-bye, Scarah. Wish I could say it was nice. Actually it was torture.
ReplyDeletePalin embarrasses truly intelligent women. I've never been embarrassed by another woman before her. She flies in the face of everything that women have achieved in the last fifty years. She really makes me ill to hear her speak too. Thus, I haven't heard her voice in a year and a half--except when assaulted by it on television adverts for her rotten series. I mute the tv
ReplyDeleteThe winking, fake frontier girl posing, her inability to understand what the first amendment really means, her garbled syntax and senseless babbling, her continual whining that she's being treated unfairly, her attacking the First Lady who has never said one word against her, her racism, the inappropriate clothes, lack of policy knowledge and the using of her children and her basic trashiness makes me know that there is some old nasty rich men (beside Rupert) who are forcing her disgusting visage on us
and won't get her out of our faces until one of her own turns on her.
Can't wait.
5:21 - well said!!!
ReplyDeleteSome commenters sound disillusioned on this blog. Wah. Pres. Obama hasn't singlehandedly changed the political landscape of the entire USA in 23 months; he hasn't been able to strong arm bankers, rich corporatists, or the Congress during the worst economic recession since the Depression. Nor has he been able to stop the wars generating the American military industrial complex.
ReplyDeleteAnd the GOP is sick of Sarah, the flirty frontier winky winky you betcha quitter gal with a DS child. It turns out she's a Viagra fantasy borne by the right. Not real.
Fairy tale narratives are crashing down on both sides.
But I never believed that hope and change would happen without me in the equation. I've been rolling up my sleeves and getting to work for my own convictions. I am actively writing my own narrative, my own tale: of the involved American citizen, seeking change every day for the issues I believe in the most.
I'd like to challenge all of you to do the same in your own way. Don't wait for someone else: get involved. Happy Holidays!
In Sarahs sick little mind, she is the deserving candidate, chosen by God. It's the beauty pageant all over again.
ReplyDeleteOnly 11% of DC residents think she is qualified to be president. Those damn elites'
I see your spellchecker missed an obvious miss-spelling. NOPE should have been DOPE!
ReplyDeleteSomething said earlier caught my attention. Anon @ 5:19, referencing Nancy Pelosi and Sarah Palin: (Nancy Pelosi) "is also a mother of several children.
ReplyDeleteSarah however.....is also a mother of several children."
Yet, I know very little about Pelosi's private life - or her children. (I think one of her daughters is a documentary producer, but I could be wrong about that.) Point is: Pelosi's Family is not part of her political persona. She goes to work every day and works hard. Like many working mothers in this country. Unlike the fraud that is Sarah Palin.
Oooh, it's starting to really suck to be Sarah Palin! Hey Palin! Your sisters think you're a moron! Write THAT shit on your palm BEEYOTCH!
ReplyDeleteI still say five years from now Palin will be workin' the boat show circuit mud wrestling midgets or chick boxing à la Tonya Harding. Later, she'll be in the parking lot hawking leftover signed copies of her books - both for $5 - and won't get any takers.
I say Palinman still needs a cape and a mask. That guy just plain exudes "doofus loser" and he hasn't a clue that everyone else thinks he's a twit. I wonder how he'll feel when his queen augers in spectacularly? It's a wonder someone so stupid can cross streets without getting flattened.
She will NEVER go away unless something major contributes to her downfall.
ReplyDeleteShe is young enough, stupid enough and considers herself a major player.
Her narcissism leads her to believe that only she can save America.
If not 2012 then 2016.
Some people say that if only Sarah would do this, that, and the other she could become a viable candidate. That's absurd. She doesn't do it because she can't, it isn't in her. If she could, she would have done it already, and she also would be an entirely different person.
ReplyDeleteAnd can anyone imagine Clinton winning if he had quit being governor of Arkansas? For no damned reason? Someone on Audrey's site did a search. Only three people ever have quit being governor. Palin is the 3rd. The other two were involved in an erupting sexual scandal.
The media, as usual, never mention this (they call her "Governor"!!!) but surely it would stick in the craw of voters. I consider that alone a complete disqualification.
This poor costumed man who calls himself Palinman. Gasman called him a loser...he is right...I am reminded of when I lived on a small island and an intellectually challenged resident discovered Jesus...he promptly dressed himself up in what he thought was a christer outfit, hung crosses and such around his neck and walked down the side of the road waving at everyone.
ReplyDeleteLoser indeed.
I am related (by marriage) to a middle aged, educated, professional woman who thinks Palin is great and has a "lovely" family. I couldn't understand this until she questioned how we could allow our daughter to date an African-American boy. This really gave me some insight into who she is.
ReplyDeleteI can see why Paylin was not happy sitting next to this guy. If he wore that outfit for several days he must really smell!!!
ReplyDeletePalinman is the perfect symbol for Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteI believe I'll write to all the major networks as well as the cable news outlets and ask them to please get Palinman on to talk about his hero.
Roll Up Your Sleeves said...7:20 PM
ReplyDeleteClap, clap, clap.
Well said. I couldn't agree more.
Sleazy Sarah said,
ReplyDelete"I would run if I believe that other candidates willing to put themselves forward in the name of public service, if they don't have a shot at winning, I would offer myself up," she added.
Offer herself up??? Jezoose Christoos what the hell is she going to do, jump into a live volcano? Wouldn't do any good if she did, SHE AINT NO VIRGIN!
BWAHHHHAHAHAHA
I believe that there is no amount of money that could convince a normal mother to shove an out of shape child onto a national tv stage where physical appearance/dexterity is of prime importance. To do so would be truly demented and evil or just plain sadistic. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAs an African-American woman, I can honestly say that almost all of us blacks saw her from the beginning for what she is. So, she didn't have to do anything to alienate us. She was never anyone we could even remotely relate to.
ReplyDeleteOf course, judging from the results of the 2008 presidential election, most people of other races as well saw that there was no there there when it came to Palin, and she has done nothing to change that perception in the 2+ years she has been on the national scene.
I knew it was only a matter of time before her asinine antics and her excessive exposure would begin to wear thin with even Republicans, especially women. But her delusional narcissism will not permit her to see this reality, especially when her enablers encourage her by telling her what she wants to hear.
With all this overexposure, all that is unappealing about Palin is constantly on display. Her ignorance, divisiveness, lack of class, racism, and religious bigotry--along with crass materialism--are too glaringly obvious to overlook.
As an American, I am totally embarrassed that there are fellow Americans so stupid that they are willing to deny or discount her conspicuous shortcomings and be willing to vote her for president.
Palin is already a huge laughingstock around the world, and just for her to run would elicit well-deserved ridicule.
She is also a major embarrassment to women, because she embodies everything we have collectively fought to overcome in order to be taken seriously for our merits.
There's nothing cute, funny, or appealing in a woman who uses "sex appeal" (ugh!) to compensate for the lack of mental intelligence and moral integrity. But it looks even worse on a woman approaching 50, because it is so plainly age-inappropriate. It's even worse in a middle-aged woman aspiring to the most powerful office in this country.
I have a feeling that any run for the presidency Palin makes will be divisive, especially for the Republican Party. But that's the price they pay for stroking that already grossly inflated ego that blinds her to the fact that she is in way over her head.
