Obama vs. Palin: Who Would Win?

The 2012 election may be a few years away, but people are already talking about potential match ups, and one contest that has been the center of speculation in recent months is President Barack Obama vs. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Dianna Heitz of Politico reports that according to a new Public Policy Polling poll, the president would wipe the floor with the former Miss Wasilla if the election were held tomorrow. 55 percent of respondents said they would cast their ballots for Obama, while 35 percent said they would do so for Palin. 10 percent said they were not sure which way they would go.

Well, you could have knocked this animal over with a feather! I nearly had a heart attack when I read that 35 percent of the country actually likes Sarah Palin. I did not realize there were that many Bible-thumping Right-wingers around.

Palin is going to need to improve her image in the next three years if she plans to run at the top of the GOP ticket in the next election. According to Heitz, only 39 percent of voters have a positive view of the governor, while 50 percent find her to be about as appealing as the Octumom.

And then there is the gender gap. Only 39 percent of women really dig Palin, while 61 percent think she sucks. Ironically, the governor was put on the GOP ticket last year as a ploy to attract females who were planning on voting for that hunk of a Democrat, Barack Obama (Their thoughts, not mine!).

However, the poll had some good news for Palin on the male front. 48 percent of men had a favorable opinion of the governor, while 38 percent viewed her unfavorably. This just goes to show that a lot of guys still use the wrong organ when making important decisions.  

Personally, I would love to see Obama and Palin go at it in 2012. Of course, if this scenario becomes a reality, I will be casting my ballot for the Constitution Party, unless Ron Paul is still alive and decides to run as a Libertarian again.

    Who would win? Obama would win. Palin is frakkin’ stupid.
    And that’s not an insult, it’s a fact.
    Anyone who enters beauty pageants is far too dumb to run for president.
    And she got her governor job by screwing around.

    The only women who “dig” Palin are extremely religious people who don’t care if someone is smart or not. The only think Palin is qualified to run is a small town, like Wasilla.

    I think the country would be better off if Miss Alaska would fad far far away from public life. As a woman, she insults me-she’s embarrassing. She spews rehetoric that doesn’t really support women, I don’t want to go backwards.

    “She spews rehetoric that doesn’t really support women, I don’t want to go backwards.”

    It’s the old male trick. Get a pair of breasts in there to thwart the progress of women while making them think they’re doing the exact opposite. If you can’t beat them them, then let themselves do it in the name of feminism.

    Awww to hell with who would win the election I wanna see ‘em fight.
    I think Obama would take her in 2nd round. She would make some fancy moves in the first round like she might with a moose and duck and move but by round 2, I think the wirey Obama would have her number and KO her with a spinning back fist. I’d pay $50 to see that on pay per view

    Only enough blood in our body to use one head at a time right?
