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.

madelane -- Why don't you get that 'influx of the disgusted's to Irish shores started. Would we hate to lose you? Yah.. whatever! - And don't let the door hit you on the way out.

@James Murphy -- Why don't you stick with what you know, go get your Brit bucked and rotting 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 enough that we've got idiots electing incompetent socialists on this side of the Atlantic, we don't need, or want, the opinion of meddlers from the other. Get our drift?

If Sarah Palin wins the Presidency, this country will loose, completely!! She is an idiot!! And the only reason she is where she is, is because McCain was looking for a woman to run with him. And he was the one we have to thank for opening up 'Pandora's Box' She has no knowledge of any important issues. And from what I've seen, she doesn't want to know. If she should win, Ireland will have an influx of disgusted Americans who would rather live elsewhere than to see an idiot destroy their country.

I love her and champion her. She's real and the empty, Pinot Gris-sipping chatterboxes of the world can't stand that she is a self-made conservative woman with a Northern-tier accent. Get over yourselves, fools. Her policies are what counts, and she is ship shape on that.

Alright now, everybody, after me, let's call her for what she is: Sarah Palin is a muddleheaded bimbo former beauty queen from Alaska's bush league Bible belt. She couldn't, as we Brits like to say, accurately, of similar such imbeciles, couldn't organize a boozeup in a brewery.

ciarrai -- Patrick Roberts is a flaming libtard who likes to throw kerosene on the Palin-hatred fires, just to inflame the passions of people like you, and those on your heart rending story of the bare-bones bachelor farmers (gay perchance?). -- I did not have enough Kleenex to dry the tears after reading your pre-amble to the Palin slam, which I knew was inevitably coming. -- Funny thing how Pat, you, and a host of other Palin-incensed retards love to fling darts from the vantage point of the manure pile you inhabit, toward others whose political leanings do not seem to agree with yours, all the while affecting a self-anointed übber-intellectual tone that will surely wilt any claims or reason those yokels who dare vote for 'that woman' might have! -- And they might just be justified... that is, if you had not voted in an inexperienced socialist imbecile who does not have a thought or action that does not originate outside the Media Matters latrine. -- Don't worry, Palin will not be a contender this time around. There are many others for the moment who have her common sense, and her perfectly in tune with the needs and values of We the People. -- She is still young, unlike Billary the Shrew, she'll get her chance.

Palin has been bashed ever since McCain introduced her. It has been uncalled for! She is a smart woman who has a right to run and let the electorite vote the way they please. She and her family have received much bashing from the left wing and the media that was not deserved. Give her a chance to prove herself. Many more people in US believe in her that the press reports. Stop the bashing just because she is a pretty woman. Notice that Hillary did not get this kind of treatment about her family? Politics as usual in US!

Patrick Roberts: President Palin isn't far fetched at all? Put down that Kool-Aid and listen well, my son. I am an American citizen whose mother was born in Kerry many moons ago. I have been to Ireland in excess of 15 times over the years. On my first trip, I visited my mother's birthplace. Living at the place out away from town were a few bachelor farmers who were living a bare bones style of life. I was surprised by the fact that one had a subscription to an international news magazine and knew everything about the political scene in America and around the world. So many people I have met in Ireland have a breadth of knowledge and an intelligent curiousity. Sarah Palin has none of that. The minute she opens her pretty mouth you get this God awful, shrill voice and absolutely nothing in the way of an original thought. She makes Bush look like a Mensa member. It is a tribute to the utter superficiality of those that support her. She is a good looking woman, but should that qualify her to lead the U.S. in these tough times? Of course not! It is laughable. She couldn't handle Alaska. Why did she leave before her term was finished? To cash in on her celebrity. Finally, I truly believe the following: if you hate the USA you will vote for Sarah Palin(better to vote for Michael Palin).

Like, Odummy has brains. He's just the mouthpiece for a George S. and his committee for One World Government.

My worse nightmare, President Sarah Palin. If she had any brains she would not be too scary.

I am Irish through and through, but I pray this woman does not become the first female president of our country! I can think of many more Irish-Americans who would be wonderful leaders for our country...including Barak Obama!

Tragically, it IS possible that Palin could be elected in America. Most Americans are political idiots, who love to be catered to, and don't put 5 minutes of attention into any issue. They like simple messages, nice sound bites, and can thus be lied to with impunity. This, Palin understands well. She is, however, a true lightweight on most issues, and shows no desire to improve. In that, she reflects her followers.
