Poll: birthers prefer Palin
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/poll-palin-winning-the-birther-primary-romney-way-behind.php?ref=fpb

A new analysis by Public Policy Polling (D) finds that Sarah Palin is especially popular with a key Republican demographic: The Birthers.

Among those respondents in PPP's latest national poll who either said that President Obama was not born in the United States or were undecided, Palin had a 66% favorability rating. Of the other three Republicans that were tested in the poll, Mike Huckabee was in second place at 58%, then Newt Gingrich with 46%, and Mitt Romney was last with only 43% favorability.

From PPP communications director Tom Jensen: "I mean this with all sincerity -- Romney's lack of popularity with the birther wing of the GOP really could scuttle his chances at the nomination in three years."

4. Well, they're on the same wave-length
and since both Palin and "birthers" have a total contempt for logic and facts it makes sense that they would attract one another.

7. The sad/funny thing is Gingrich, Romney, Huckabee ect.. all HAVE to
throw a few bones to the crazies, because these kooks are a substantial
part of their base. And these kooks can certainly make-or-break their
Presidential bid!


:crazy:
