Sarah Palin's roller-coaster ride from GOP darling to dunce is speeding up the track again. Not only has the respected National Journal made her their cover girl with a headline of "No Dummy," but now even Democrats are starting to worry about her influence. "Don't count her out yet," says Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. Why? While many GOP-ers think Palin could win the Iowa GOP presidential caucus in 2012, some think her luck would end there because conservatives don't do as well in the following primaries. But Lake says Palin could also do well in more liberal New Hampshire, giving her the Big Mo to win the nomination. Her reasoning: New Hampshire Republicans like to vote for women. "It's one of the most pro-female Republican primaries," says Lake.

Palin supporters like to tout her "executive experience," but omit the details. This woman was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town with a population only slightly larger than my high school. She then was Governor of Alaska, a job she quit after 2 1/2 years. How big is Alaska? It has fewer people than Long Beach, California. It's yearly operating budget for the entire state is SMALLER than the budget of Ohio State University. And how difficult is it to cover that budget? Oil tax revenues cover the entire budget every year with a surplus. Palin is glib and flip, but she is not experienced in running anything except her mouth.

There have been many state polls run by PPP, and Sarah Palin has not won any of them. Another polling company had a poll in Kentucky, where she won by just a few points, with Huckabee second. Do you think the people in America will make the same mistake they made with the inexperienced Pres. Obama and choose Palin after she quit as Gov. of Alaska after just 2 years? Yes, she was a Mayor, but can we really compare being a Mayor to the experience she would need to be President?

Mike Huckabee won every poll in the South by a large margin. Mike Huckabee won the recent CNN poll as the top Republican candidate for 2012. He won the latest PPP National Republican Presidential 2012 poll where he beat Obama by 2 points, Romney beat Obama by 1 point, and Obama beat Sarah Palin. Mike Huckabee has won every PPP monthly Presidential poll except two with Romney as second most of the time, and Sarah Palin third. BTW, Mike Huckabee won substantially in the Iowa and South Carolina State polls too.

So, as you can see, Mike Huckabee, is the Republican candidate who will win the Republican nomination because Romney has Romneycare around his neck. He MANDATED the healthcare in MA while he was Gov. just like Obama is doing on a Federal level. Obamacare was actually based on Romneycare in MA. Would the Conservatives really want a Republican for President who did the same thing in MA with Romneycare that Obama did in the U.S.? Could we trust Romney to stop the Federal program? No, not really, so hopefully most Republicans will see just how liberal Romney is and won't choose him as the Republican nominee.

If all of you commenters would pay attention to the polls coming out for the Presidential 2012 campaign, you would learn that people like Sarah Palin, but they don't see that she is qualified to be President!
