Jeb Bush Endorsement of Romney Is Good News For A Palin 2016 Run

With Jeb Bush’s announcement that he is endorsing Mitt Romney (AT THIS LINK) for the GOP nomination the fact of Romney being the GOP establishment candidate is locked in. 


There was little doubt about the fact of course, but  with Romney’s supposed rightward shift during the campaign the edges of the matter were a bit fuzzy.


With a senior Romney staffer giving the game away with his “Etch A Sketch” (AT THIS LINK) comment (that Romney could simply erase all his “rightist’ remarks after getting the nomination and starting off as a “moderate” with a clean slate for the fall campaign) and the Bush endorsement the form of the horses now, and for 2016, is in sharp focus.


If Romney, the establishment “centrist” candidate, loses to President Obama in November, he will join the long line of such losers which includes Ford, Bush Snr. (second term run) Dole and McCain At that point the “electability,we must appeal to Independents” argument will have gone out the window. Along with it will go the chances of Jeb Bush, Christie, Daniels, Pawlenty, McDonell and the like.


After a Romney defeat the Tea Party, and most conservatives, will be in no mood for another such candidate and it will be the turn of the first genuine conservative since Reagan. 


Such a campaign could see the likes of Ryan, West, Rubio and even Bachmann entering the lists,without, hopefully, a Paul to muddy the waters. Of course the obvious person to be the conservative candidate for the GOP nomination at that point would be Sarah Palin.


I for one would relish a Palin vs.Bush battle for the 2016 nomination. Let the rank and file speak at that point and we will see if the vox populi can overcome the vast resources in money and mainstream media support the Bush clan could bring. I have no doubt as to Palin being the winner.

Palin Breaks Through 50% All Voters Poll Support Barrier As PPP Poll Gives Her 68% GOP Approval

On the heels of major polling firm PPP Polling finding that Sarah Palin is more popular, by far, than any of the declared GOP candidates with a 68% approval rating AT THIS LINK and a net positive rating of +48 a poll at Election Meters.com AT THIS LINK has her approval also at a significant level.


The EM poll gives Palin a 50.3% approval rating. This is her first rating above 50% in this poll since early 2009 and shows the long struggle against media distortion she has had to undertake. Undertake it she has and her tenacity seems to finally be paying off as voters now are seeing her in a substantially positive light again.


It seems no coincidence that Palin has moved into such positive territory in two polls following the leftist hatchet job (and box office flop) “Game Change”. the attacks from that disaster seem to be the last straw with the public,especially Republicans, who can now clearly see that so much of the media generated negativity around Palin over the last four years has been a massive wall of hate and bias and unrelated to the positive characteristics of the real Palin.


Yes certainly, the Election Meter poll is an on line poll and can be discounted to a degree because of that. However, when Palin was at her absolute nadir in this poll in 2010 at 19.2% her enemies would have seized on it as being representative of a general feeling. 


There is some degree of validity to that view, although it is distorted and extreme, but on the other hand the steady, seemingly inexorable rise since then must also reflect a wider reality-which will of course be ignored by her enemies.


Here are the graphs which, because of the time frame and substantial changes over time-surely the absolute polling height of 72% in 2008 was also a reflection of reality at that time- must be valid in the wider context they support;
