PrimariesForPalin.com works to nominate Sarah Palin as the Republican presidential candidate by encouraging Democrats and Independents to actually vote for her in open state primaries.
In head-to-head polls with President Barack Obama, Palin consistently fares worse than other possible Republican candidates because of her divisiveness. If Palin is nominated, Obama has a far better chance of winning reelection in November 2012.
Some think this is just a sophomoric and polarizing tactic that diminishes the political landscape. Other’s think it might be evidence the Democrats are finally getting it.
Of course this could backfire. Remember the conventional wisdom that George Bush, the bumbling fratboy from Texas, would be a Kerry pushover in the 2004 main election?
