Krauthammer: "No Chance" Palin Can Win in 2012
The Daily Caller reports:
On Friday’s broadcast of “Inside Washington, ” Krauthammer offered several reasons why Palin shouldn’t be considered the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2012 presidential election.
“What do you mean if not span style="color: green;">Sarah Palin< in 2012?” Krauthammer said. “Who’s saying she’s going to be the presidential candidate? I don’t even hear her saying it. Her chances of being are smaller than half a dozen other people. If you talk to Republicans, I don’t think there are what, more than one in three who would tell you she has a chance of winning the presidency or even the nomination.”
Because of that, he said, she wasn’t the favorite.
“And she is not the favorite,” he continued. “She has a very strong core constituency but outside of that I think she is rather weak.”
Krauthammer has previously downplayed Palin’s chances and indicated he favors Indiana Gov. span style="color: green;">Mitch Daniels<. He said Palin would not be the ideal candidate to unseat a “vulnerable” President Barack Obama.
“Her negatives are over 50 percent,” Krauthammer said. “She has no chance of winning a general election. Why would you want a candidate who is going to lose against a Democrat who is going to be vulnerable and who is also extremely ideologically ambitious?”
