Check out the videos along with the polls.  It's interesting to hear how the opinions of her differ between Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents.



Palin particularly popular among fans of Limbaugh and Beck

Sarah Palin may or may not run for president in 2012, but she is already the overwhelming favorite in the Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck primaries.

In a new Washington Post poll, Palin beats other GOP leaders on two questions: who best represents the party's core values, and who Republicans would vote for if the presidential nomination battle were held today. But she has particular appeal to the loyal followers of Limbaugh and Beck, two of the most popular conservative talk show hosts in the country.

Overall, 18 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents cited her as the person most representative of the party's core values, the highest percentage among prominent Republican figures. Among those who regularly listen to Limbaugh, however, Palin was cited by 48 percent, and among Beck's viewers, it was 35 percent, far surpassing others.

The pattern held when Republicans considered their possible choices for 2012. Palin led other Republicans, but with the support of just 17 percent. Forty-five percent of regular Limbaugh listeners said they would vote for her if their state's primary or caucus were held today, however, as did a third of those who regularly tune in to Beck's radio or television programs.

More than four in 10 in the poll said they watch or listen to Beck at least sometimes, with 18 percent following him "regularly." One in eight (12 percent) listens frequently to Limbaugh.

Those who identify as Republicans today see themselves as more conservative politically than those who said so during the last years of the presidency of George W. Bush, and this increasing conservatism shows up in Palin's draw. The former Alaska governor appeals strongly to the "very conservative," to regular churchgoers and to white evangelical Protestants.

Almost half of all Republican and GOP-leaning independents alike said they think Palin has had a good effect on their party, compared with 20 percent who think she has had a negative effect. Eighty percent of Limbaugh listeners and 70 percent of Beck viewers said she has had a positive impact.

Out of interest does any presidential candidate ever say: "Yes I'll be running for President in da de da year?" It's political suicide to admit you have presidential aspirations. It's a bit like that game show 'Big Brother' where they all claim they don't want to win and are there for the experience of being around loud annoying people and deprived of Privacy for weeks on end.

She has to run just to give us the entertainment factor, could you imagine how boring the campaign would have been if she didm't run for vice president in 2008?

McCain might have liked a bit more of a boring campaign, I suspect.

You just don't see that incongruity regarding say, Howard Dean, or John Edwards, or just about anyone who really is "Not a concern".

No Kirata, I've been using TIVO to check the 'mainstream' news sources, NBC, CBS, ABC. Although they had at least 50 stories in the past few days about Tiger Woods, 25 stories about the White House Gate-crashers, and 10 stories about the cadets reading and/or sleeping during the President's speech; not one reference has been made to any science or scientists.

I guess that would bring attention to the global warming fraud and they don't want to spoil next weeks party in Copenhagen when all the global warming zealots, saving the world by flying in private jets instead of scheduled flights, tell us why tossing away the raw data or covering up the results in conflict with their religious dogma still shouldn't suppress the religion from ruining more industries and economy throughout the world.

Science is BAD - Belief is GOOD!
