Palin ‘losing the Alaska vote,’ as more say they’d vote against her
I'm guessing the Alaska Motto is "Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me!"

Palin ‘losing the Alaska vote,’ as more say they’d vote against her

Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin doesn't believe in global warming, but her home state has apparently grown "colder" since she quit her job suddenly last Fourth of July, and that has nothing to do with the weather.

According to the latest Rasmussen telephone survey, "Palin appears to be losing the Alaska vote."

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds that just 41% say they would vote for the former Alaska governor if she ran for president in 2012. Forty-eight percent (48%) say they would not vote for Palin, and 11% more are undecided.

Alaska voters are almost evenly divided in their views of Palin. Forty-nine percent (49%) view her at least somewhat favorably, while 50% share an unfavorable opinion of her. This includes 31% who regard her Very Favorably and 37% with a Very Unfavorable view.

Perhaps this can be explained in part by the feeling that the ex-governor who became Republican John McCain’s surprise running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign is bad for Alaska’s image. Thirty-eight percent (38%) say Palin’s views and activities reflect positively on Alaska’s image, but 45% think they reflect negatively on the state. Twelve percent (12%) say they have no impact.

1. The GOP base across the U.S. seem to love her because she says what they want to hear, like Fox
"news".

2. RUN SARAH RUN!!!!!
I do so hope she runs. If she wins the nomination Obama would win in the biggest landslide in history, but more importantly, if she runs every other GOOPer would have to kmove from the EXTREME Right to the INSANE Right in order to win the nomination, thus nullifying any semblance of sanity from any Republican candidate in 2012.

4. If the MSM such as Fox and CNN hadn't had
their head up her butt and posting her every move, people wouldn't even know who the Hades she was, even after being picked for the VP run. And by the way that's one more thing we can thank McCain for.
