From Pajamasmedia.com: What’s More Important Than Being Electable? Being Able To Govern January 1, 2010 - by Adam Graham
The shine is off. Recent tracking polls have shown the "president’s" popularity trending downwards under 50%. And both Public Policy Polling and Rasmussen show "President" Obama in tight races with Republican front-runners, and even with some non-Republican front-runners.
The most striking notes: Sarah Palin, the woman who many allege absolutely could not beat Obama, comes within three points in the Rasmussen poll and eight in the Public Policy Polling poll. And even more surprising, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) comes within eight points on Public Policy Polling.
Yes, the 75-year-old Texas congressman is nearly as close to Obama as John McCain was in 2008. This suggests a growing number of Americans, as of this moment, would vote for anyone over Barack Obama.
So, for 2010 and 2012, there are three basic questions conservatives should ask themselves:
- Does the candidate have a coherent agenda that will make the country better?
- Does the candidate have the necessary skills to get his agenda passed?
- Does the candidate have the ability to make executive decisions?
