Man, I wonder how much the president would be leading if the economy were to turn around. Obama's mouth must be watering at the prospect of facing the dumb broad.

WASHINGTON -- Sarah Palin predicted Sunday that Barack Obama would lose the presidency if he was currently facing re-election. But apparently that's far from true if she's the Republican challenging him, a new poll finds.
"I think if the election were today, I do not think Obama would be re-elected," Palin said on Fox News.
While studies find the president's job approval ratings on a downward curve, a just-released poll by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion finds that Obama would decisively defeat Palin in a hypothetical race between the two and independent New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Marist found that Obama would win that match-up by 15 points, garnering 44 percent of the vote to Palin's 29. Bloomberg was behind with 15 percent.
The race may well turn out to be a reality as polls show Palin is a leading contender for the Republican nomination in 2012. She also strongly suggested she may run this weekend, telling Fox's Chris Wallace that it would be "absurd not to consider" it.
