by Doug Mataconis @ Tuesday, November 10th, 2009. Filed under 2008 Election, 2012 Election, Elections, Mike Huckabee, Politicos & Pundits, Politics, Sarah Palin

Someone please tell Mike Huckabee to shut up:
Palin is the party’s rock star.
“Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory [...]

Sarah Palin Far Behind Huckbee And Romney In Head-To-Head Matchups

by Doug Mataconis @ Monday, October 19th, 2009. Filed under Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politicos & Pundits, Politics, Sarah Palin

More bad news for Palin-istas from the latest Rasmussen Report poll:
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s forthcoming autobiography has been at the top of the Amazon book charts for weeks, and it hasn’t even been released yet. At least in the eyes of the political Left, she is now perhaps America’s most visible national Republican.

by Doug Mataconis @ Tuesday, October 13th, 2009. Filed under Bobby Jindal, Evolution vs. ID, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Political Parties, Politicos & Pundits, Politics, Republicans, Sarah Palin, Science, Tim Pawlenty

Secular Right looks at the evidence:
In any case, I’m on the record as saying that predictions for 2012 are very premature. But, it looks like 3 of the front-runners for the G.O.P. nomination are rather frank Creationists (Palin, Huckabee and Pawlenty). I’m skeptical about any of these as likely candidates (i.e., if you had to [...]
