I would be interested to see the source for that 77% figure, if you get a minute to spare.
I'm certain Palin is not going to be the next President; the Republican elite will make sure of it. Look at the way Fox News is already ripping into her. The economy is going to hell in a handcart, but I think the handcart has trundled so far down the road already that Obama will not be entirely blamed for it, even if there's not much he's going to be able to do about it.
Yes, I think the Fox news treatment of her, and the clear opportunity to use her as a scapegoat over the election loss, mean that she'd stand no chance of getting close.
I can't find it. It was something I used to prove a point on election night that I got off google. A google search now finds much lower figures. So the original figure may, in fact, be bullshit and you may be right :).
(It's possible the numbers have changed quickly, of course - so the 77% may well have been in play earlier on. I'm actually really relieved you can't find 'em.)

But yeah - she won't get close, I think. She may run, though - I just don't think she'll get the nomination.
