Favorability. unfavorability. im kind of shocked when i see palin is down negative 23. im not sure what that does in primaries or caucuses. but thats a hell of a negative thing to overcome. are they thinking they dont want to run against this head wind? >> those of us that work in the media and people that love politics that watch your show all the time and watch my show all the time, sometimes we might get disconnected from mainstream republican voters, and i was just having this conversation b...

Let me finish tonight with this unbelievable presidential campaign thats about to begin. watching president obama today explaining and defending his budget, both the substance and politics, i was struck by the question -- could any of the possible republican candidates out there do this? does any one of them have the precision of mind, the command of recall, the orderly process of thinking, the reasonable moral compass. think it through. throw those names and faces onto your mental viewing scree...

Tow lengthy at 7. huckabee at 7. newt at 6 and palin at 6. palin gets all the ink, rudy giuliani, pawlenty doesnt get any. >> pawlenty, if i were pawlenty, i would be pleased at that 7%. romney, youve heard it, i wrote about it in the article, everybody talks about it, support as mile wide and an inch deep but in 2012 that ma be enough. it really may. again, i keep going back to the one name that was not on that list and the one name that i hear everybody talking about, whether its republicans i...

Down a.c.o.r.n. in 2009. this is how they did it. when mccain and palin lost the election, republicans had to blame someone. they pushed a story line that a.c.o.r.n. stole the election for obama, which by the way, a shocking number of republicans actually believed. the following years james okeefe released his hidden camera sting where a.c.o.r.n. was portrayed as having advised pitches. the videos then went up on andrew breitbarts website, and the blogosphere went nuts. then step 4, and this is ...

Rating. will somebody like chris christie jump in. >> tell us what the republicans want. they want an executive who cuts spending. lets take a look at this. jonathan martin and ben smith wrote about palins lack of support. three states republican operatives and political pollsters repeated one word, serious. the states take their responsibility seriously and dont see palin with her shortened term as governor seriously. i do think we talk about her too much. i think palin may be like a fan belt o...

Class, they work hard all day, they come home and they are watching football. they are not talking politics. they are watching their kids do their homework they are not screaming about what glenn beck or joe scarborough is talking about earlier in the day. they are focused on getting their family ahead. those are the people that swing elections and just bluntly they dont look at somebody like sarah palin as a serious candidates and newt gingrich has too much scar tissue. in the end like if someb...

Boehner said, the gentleman trying to be funny i would imagine. for the second year in a row ron paul won a straw poll of contenders at cpac. mitt romney and then you kind of fall off a cliff after that. former new mexico governor johnson, chris christie with 6% and newt gingrich with 5%. pawlenty, palin and huk bee failed to receive 5% of the vote. despite pauls win, were guessing trump thinks he has no chance of being elected. remember this from thursday? >> by the way, ron paul cannot get e...

Christie and newt gingrich. meanwhile notables like tim pawlenty and sarah palin and mike huckabee all failed to receive 5% of the vote. >> are you surprised at those numbers for palin who we hear is the superstar on the national scene is at 3%, mike huckabee at 2%, hayle haley barbour. >> theres plenty of people who didnt come. cpac attendees are very proud. people didnt come. the piece youre writing for politico touches on this and why -- well, why the field is so lame. >> come on. i dont pu...

Straw poll ron paul won by 30%. mitt romney got 23%. of course donald trump says ron paul theres no chance hell ever get elected. let me square that, then, with the latest opinion research poll by cnn that shows huckabee in the lead at 21%, palin, romney, gingrich, paul, barbour. david, since youre the pollster, do you think that that number has any significance at this stage? does it matter? or it really depends on once the public starts to vet these guys and they have the first debate, for ins...

Come forward. >> you know haley barbour of course a little while ago said if you see that i lose 40 pounds youll know im either running or got cancer. hes lost about 20 pounds so hes halfway there. whats your sense? whats your inside scoop? is barbour going to run and when will we get announcements from everybody else? >> hes lost some weight and got more to go and keeping his options open. and knows being healthy will help him. he is one of the two pieces on the chess board that will make a dif...
