A poll by Rasmussen paints an interesting picture. It paints a picture that Huckabee is leading the horserace to be the GOP nominee in 2012 against Obama. I find this interesting simply because Huckabee is the most like John McCain. Seems like the media is already trying to secure a weak field for Obama in 2012.
Rasmussen’s poll shows Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at 18% behind Huckabee and Romney who really shouldn’t bother running again. Yet Palin draws thousands everywhere she goes and Huckabee has a hard time drawing a crowd at the county fair. Huckabee draws support from the moderate middle of the road republicans that secured a win for Obama by giving the nomination to McCain in 2008. I doubt that will hold as conservatives will be out in force and the only potential candidate that has shown core conservative beliefs so far is Sarah Palin.
She brings a no nonsense get it done mentality to politics that people identify with. She doesn’t speak like a lawyer like Romney, she doesn’t come off as a kook like Huckabee. She is the only reason that McCain didn’t lose every state except Arizona, and without her he might not have carried that one.
So when the pollsters ask about who should be the GOP nominee they really should be asking who is best prepared to take back America from the grips of socialism, who is best to take back our country from state run media that is rooted in communism? From what I see that clearly is Sarah Palin, she has that unique ability to bring common sense and plain spoken values that people connect with. She doesn’t come off as just reading from talking points like Romney does. She talks to people, talks with people, not at people like they are subjects. She is a great communicator something that we haven’t seen in thirty years.
The media has been working hard to ignore Sarah Palin for the last several months, they are deathly afraid of her as they know she has the ability to beat Obama and that the usual liberal playbook of labeling her a racist won’t have much effect. We don’t need 2007-2008 all over again where we have a field of over ten candidates with only one conservative among them and he gets bounced out after South Carolina. We need get behind Sarah early, we need to make certain that we don’t dilute the voting with more candidates than should really be there.
