It seems Sarah Palin has worn out her welcome with Republicans. An astounding 71% of GOP voters say they don't want Palin to run for president, according to a new poll by FOX News, with 25% supporting a bid and 4% unsure.

The numbers are brutal for Palin, who was long regarded as a potential frontrunner for the 2012 nomination. Even among Tea Party-identifying Republicans she fares poorly: 68% say she shouldn't run versus only 28% who say she should. The numbers aren't that far off from the general electorate, 74% of whom don't want her to run versus 20% who do. Outside of Tea Partiers, more than 70% of every demographic broken out in the poll's crosstabs -- men, women, white voters, non-white voters, voters with college degrees, voters without college degrees -- are against a Palin run.

1. She would win the South....

Her showing in primaries would be at least as good as Huckabees.

[Ilsa]

2. Are they commenting on why? It would be interesting to see

if their reasons match up with anything Democratics are saying about her. Did they wise up to Mrs. Grifter yet?

3. I don't know why not. Their candidates are all dumb, low I.Q., evil idiots. Look at GW Bush nt

6. Bread and circuses is what we get. Actually, in this country we get no bread. Only circuses nt

5. Some jackass who was being interviewed on CNN this morning

said (in the 3 seconds I could stand to watch) "Sarah Palin is the only one I can trust".

:rofl: God, republicans are gullible.

7. Looks like % of GOP that thinks she should run is about same

as Democrats that want to "Primary" President Obama.

Dr Venkman: "Oh, wonderful, we have to get these two together."
Dr. Spengler: "I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous."
