Yes, children Sarah Palin really can become president of the United States.

Take a look at yesterday's CNN poll.

It shows Mitt Romney just three points ahead of Irish American Palin right before the kickoff for the 2012 republican nomination which begins the day after the November mid-terms.

That three points is within the margin of error.


It is also within the margin of error of those pundits who say that Palin has no chance to be selected.

They are dead wrong and this poll bears that out

This poll says otherwise, as do a slew of results, including last week's primary in Colorado which showed the grassroots activists in the party are not going to settle for the status quo and whoever head office is pushing.

That is bad news indeed, for Mitt Romney who is the anointed one.

He is a very skilled politician, who was an excellent governor of Massachusetts and did an amazing job with the Olympic Winter Games in his native Utah.

By right he should be the front runner.

But he's stuck in neutral, not ever drawing the kind of love from the grassroots that Palin can engender just by showing up.

Americans are mad as hell over what has happened to their economy and that throws the 2012 race wide open at this point.

Palin has a realistic shot if she decides to run.

Right now she'd be my favorite to win the Republican nomination.

I've written this before and now the CNN poll bears it out.

In this current deeply unsettled political climate President Palin is not far-fetched at all.

Remember you read it here.

Plasticpaddy: it is said that his ghost writer is william ayers, so i am not sure what i read that is purported to be by him, is actually by him. so i am asking all of the people who think he is a genius to point me in the direction to where I can see any of his school transcripts...Don't you think it is a bit odd that he has legally sealed all of his school transcripts?

Monsoonman - Goolgle what he has written academically, he was the editor of the Harvard Law reviw. I need not do your research for you, I have read some of his and his wifes writings which are very interesting. I actually don't agree with Obama, I am much more to the left than him but I can still acknowledge that he is an intelligent man even if I agree with him on almost nothing!

So many stupid people share so many stupid comments on this site. And, then there are the intelligent ones... I look forward to the day when Patrick Roberts writes that Nominee Sarah Palin is his favorite to win the Presidency. Yes, Mr. Roberts, remember to share it here!

This is a total fantasy. The American people will never elect an ignorant fool like Palin. I do hope, however, that the GOP gives her their nomination - bring her on in 2012!

@James Murphy -- Why don't you stick to what you know; go get your Brit bucked and uneven teeth fixed and let us Americans take care of the business of running our own country with whomever we think will 'bail us out' from a commie take-over. -- It's not enough we've got idiots electing incompetent socialists on this side of the Atlantic. We don't need -or wantd- the opinion of meddlers from the other side of the pond. Get our drift?

Sez wizardofbooze:" The American electorate is the dumbest on earth" -- Wiz, you might just be right; this is why we now have an arrogant lying imbecile Soros puppet in the WH, and quite possibly you're feeling guilty for having contributed to his ascent to power. -- But don't worry, November is just around the corner and he'll be out soon enough, maybe sooner than we think if he continues to put his foot in his purple mouth. However, if you're not a citizen and did not vote, which is quite possible since every foreigner on this website seems to have an opinion on who should be running America, then perhaps you should concentrate on how and why the 'Celtic tiger' lost its stripes, and how you can get off your arse and find them.

Shirleyo-- And your point about rattling off the names of rulers of countries no one gives a rat's patootie was...?--Oh, I get it.. you're boning-up on your knowledge of inconsequential countries, in case someone asks you to participate in one of those idiotic morning TV shows only bored fat women watch. -- Either that, or you were trying to dazzle us with what's left of your brain cells before Alzheimers hits, right?-- Either way you failed.-- Now, if instead you can rattle off the name of the capitals of the 57 American states 'oBombo the really, really Smart' said he visited... you might yet impress us.

I'm sorry to say if George W. Bush can be "installed" as President so can Sarah Palin. She'll do the ever popular, cut taxes for the rich, start wars and blame everthing on the previous administration and not take any responsibility for anything that went wrong. She's the perfect American President.

Oh plasticpaddy, you say obama is smart and educated? Do you know this because you have seen what his grades were in school? If so would you please point me to where I can view his transcripts. Every time I have tried to see them, I am blocked access by judicial orders.

Not matter what you believe, Sarah Palin is intelligent. she is a down to earth person that truly believes in America and the rights of the people. She would make a great president!

ha ha ha, her policies are what count - did you ever see the guardian newspaper reports on her policies - they couldnt find any, not a single person interviewed could point to one policy position she has. ha ha ha ha ha. Once again 2bornot... you do not know what a socialist is, clealry, Obama is a keynesian capitalist, left of centre at best. To call someone a socialist they must actually be one for it to work, just a heads up

Why don't you stick to Irish politics and leave your opinion of American politics at home. I know several "soccer moms" who would vote for her, but they, and she, know little of what it takes to run the country. How can someone who bailed out on her office as Governor be trusted to stick out a term as President. Well, maybe if she has someone telling her exactly what to do... but then we've had that for a few decades now...and we don't like it. Too bad that popularity contests decide presidents here. Especially since the "big bucks" folks finance the contestant they want to win. Maybe someday things will change. Soon I hope.
