Sarah Palin is the only candidate that would lose states like Kentucky.
No.
She's only beating Obama by 2 points in Utah.
And you believe that that's accurate? I understand that the woman is very unpopular but when it comes down to it, people in states like Utah and Kentucky will vote for her over someone they dislike even more (the President).
It could be 10-15 points off and still a joke for a Republican in Utah.
I disagree that they do not dislike Obama even more. Palin wears her negative aspects on her sleeve and has only one skill: digging herself in a deeper hole. Once you don't like somebody, you don't like somebody.
Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oklahoma, and Alabama might still vote Palin, but by the end of a long campaign, it would take a lot more than our current situation for her to win more than that.
She has nowhere to go but down, which is why she won't run and if she did she wouldn't get nominated as even Bachmann and Perry are ten times better.
