However, I am missing a few pieces of information that I usually like to have with these Zogby polls. <br /><br />First of all, is this a "Zogby Interactive" poll (internet-only)? What was the sample size? Why is there no link or mention of this on the Zogby site itself. <br /><br />When I get those answers, I'll post these (among several other things that I desperately need to post -- new Census/Electoral College map, PPP trendlines, etc.). <br /><br />In the meantime, <a href="http://newsmax.com/InsideCover/palin-poll-zogby-romney/2010/01/27/id/348220" rel="nofollow">here is the link</a> to the Newsmax item Christy appended to her comment.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-19495594746688309482010-01-28T07:43:39.254-05:002010-01-28T07:43:39.254-05:00Christy,

That was of course before McCain crashed and burned with no hope of getting the nomination. Palin is likely to rise more with her new television show. If she can bait the Democrats to attack her, she will do even better. I suspect that she will be a clear frontrunner by this time next year, particularly if the Tea Party does well in November.<br /><br />The keys to the nomination will be (1) capturing the new, big money from corporations, (2) getting access to the best campaign staffs that understand how the Republican primary/ caucus system works, (3) finding a truce between the Tea Party and the moderates and (4) good performance in the numerous candidate debates. I would give Romney & Gingrich the edge in key #1; Gingrich, keys #2 & #3; and Palin & Huckabee, key #4. My prediction at this point is that Gingrich will be the nominee. To put that prediction in context, I picked Obama as the Democratic nominee in early 2007, but I never believed that McCain would get the nomination until it was certain.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379192575044761972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-77899473413364162152010-01-28T01:17:45.398-05:002010-01-28T01:17:45.398-05:00PALIN LEADS IN NEW 2012 poll.

Although Republicans seem ready to reap the rewards, Big Oil will have a chance to get back at her for standing up to them as Governor of AK. Look for them to pour lots of money into the primary candidate(s) most likely to challenge her.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379192575044761972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-62358316519288737272010-01-22T21:54:08.024-05:002010-01-22T21:54:08.024-05:00Palin only 8 points down and a few years to go is ...Palin only 8 points down and a few years to go is not to bad.Simple thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735246568110010553noreply@blogger.com
