Yeah, cause the democrats are the ones paying for her to speak at rallies, standing in line for her book and autograph and giving her a position on a news network.

I have to agree with this. The democrats aren't the only ones who are keeping her around.

if the democrats didn't give a crap about palin there is zero chance that she'd be on fox news. ZERO

she does have some limited supporters, but she is only relavant because she still sells papers. she sells papers by and large because people hate her.

Absolute tripe and you know it. Conservatives have lined up in droves for her book.....the tea party signed her as their keynote speaker, etc.

She is still relevant because enough of the conservative base loves her to keep her relevant.

so zero democrats have bought her book right?

have you seen the poll numbers? A VERY small minority of republicans support her for president. VERY small. so what does that say exactly? she is as relevant to the republican party as jessie jackson is to the democratic party.

what a bunch of crap

While it should come as no surprise that 87% of Democrats said they don’t ever want Palin as commander-in-chief, some 43% of Republicans said the same thing—as well as 65% of independents.

Even 46% of self-identified conservatives said they do not want Palin as president, as well as 44% of those who voted for Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain in 2008.

At 44%, white evangelicals are the largest subgroup supporting Palin as president one day.

So 57% is a "VERY small" number in your book? Seriously, this is getting ridiculous.

43% don't EVER want her. that does not imply that 57% want her or would pick her over someone else. jesus you are dim.

Of course it does. What are the alternatives to "don't want"? No matter how you try and spin this, only 43% of Republicans said they don't want her as president. That leaves 57% who have a different opinion.

What the hell, let's even just go with your numbers....44% support her. That's a "VERY small" number?

Dim. Yeah, that's me.

reread it. 44% of white evangelicals support her which i'd argue is pretty darn low if she has the type of widespread republican support you speak of.

The definition of white evangelicals is suspect. It used to be defined as what we now call the religious right. Basically those who attend church twice a year fall into that category and this group could include Jimmy Carter and Jim Wallis.

White evangelicals are likely in large part democrats.
Palin is here because of the democrats.
Republicans don't like Palin.

Got it. Makes perfect sense. God, I am dim.

Yes you are if somehow you got the above bold statement out of what I said. I sid it is not what people often think of the definition. "White evangelicals" is a loose definition - it does not imply "religious right" or Republican. As my examples of Carter and Wallis show, WE can mean anyone who goes to church twice a year to everytime the door is open. Politically this could cover the full spectrum.

ok let me explain it to you simply since i guess that is needed. among her core republican followers she only gets 44% of the vote. therefore it's highly unlikely that republicans as a whole support here anywhere near 44%. following me?

I was one of the first people on these boards to mention Palin as a possible VP choice for McCain. I still think that she has more practical experience in both politics and leadership than Teleprompter Jesus. Would I vote for her if she were the GOP nominee in 2012? Hell yes. Would I vote for her over someone like Jim Demint, Mike Pence, Rick Perry or Duncan Hunter in the primaries? Hell no.

As far as merging the "Tea Party" with the GOP, that's already been done. Conservatives are, hopefully, taking over the party. With luck, the GOP won't end up nominating some moderate turd-sandwich like Lindsey Graham, Bill Frist, or Colin Powell.
