Anyone but Obama...

... may now include Sarah Palin... you know this is causing some gnashing of teeth:

Look out President Barack Obama. Even Sarah Palin's gaining on you.

A new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that Obama looks increasingly vulnerable in next year's election, with a majority of voters believing he'll lose to any Republican, a solid plurality saying they'll definitely vote against him and most potential Republican challengers gaining on him.

Even in potential matchups where he leads, Obama in most cases has lost ground to the Republican.

The biggest gain came for Palin, the former Alaska governor who hasn't yet announced whether she'll jump into the fast-changing race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

After trailing Obama by more than 20 percentage points in polls all year, the new national survey, taken Sept. 13-14, found Palin trailing the president by just 5 points, 49-44 percent. The key reason: She now leads Obama among independents, a sharp turnaround.

You can almost hear the veins popping in necks across the country this morning as the Palin haters stroke out over this news.

The spewing begins in 3, 2, 1...

The truth is that Rick Perry has some good qualities, and I would vote for him or even Romney in a heartbeat over Obama.

But when you examine her record of taking on corruption, her leadership over the last 3 years, plus her common sense, Constitutional, pro-growth agenda, there is no doubt that Sarah Palin would be the best possible 45th President.

I urge everyone to go beyond the media caricature to look at this woman's record, positions and character.
