Moms for Sarah Palin

Archive for the ‘Palin 2012’ Category

I hear about polls everyday and I truly wonder who these people are that get called.  I have a hard time believing what they say as well.  So I cruised through Facebook and below you’ll see a list of declared candidates with the amount of the Facebook fans they have following their names.

Mitt Romney 1,090,650
Ron Paul 482,286
Michele Bachmann 462,380
Herman Cain 168,470
Newt Gingrich 146,184
Rick Perry 138,232
Rick Santorum 26,563
Jon Huntsman 13,753

And the lady we are waiting for to jump in…

Sarah Palin 3,229,486

Tops them all!

It seems every other day that you see another poll about who will be the GOP nominee for 2012.  Most show Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich as the front runner and Sarah Palin close in 3rd place.   I don’t know about you but I always wondered who these people are that the pollsters talk to.   I have never been asked for my two cents which is a good thing because if someone called me they’d probably get twenty bucks worth.

At any rate I decided to gauge the front runner in another way…  Facebook!

Here are the top three and how many people follow them.

Mitt Romney    445,389

Newt Gingrich    62,559

Sarah Palin    1,900,454

Now who is the front runner?  Even if one generously cut Palin’s number in half for haters and the media,  while giving Romney and Gingrich 100% of their followers assuming they are all “friendly”,  Palin still comes out on top!

From The Hill:

Sarah Palin: She was seen from the very beginning as a rising star — a cultural awakener similar to Andrew Jackson — bringing a whole new cultural paradigm to the political process; a new heartland spirit of individualism and self reliance as per Emerson and Barry Goldwater. The widespread, deep and immediate hysteria in the MSM was a sure indication that she was a threat to the old temple and would be a vital new force in the rising century. This week the non-partisan Research 2000, which conducts research and focus groups, states simply, “Palin will be the 2012 GOP Nominee.”

Wow is all I can say!
