Palin the Party’s Powerbase?
Posted by: | CommentsSteve Kornacki over at the NY Observer put together a piece on Governor Palin and her future as a potential Presidential candidate in 2012. It’s an interesting look at the “divide” amongst Republicans, (he quotes the lastest Rasmussen poll stating that Republicans prefer a conservative candidate, over a moderate one,) and that her popularity is still sky-high, (as demostrated by her recent attendance at the Alfalfa Dinner in DC). I guess I would rather pose the question, is it... Read More→
