Howard Dean warns Democrats Sarah Palin could beat Obama in 2012


Well, at least there’s some Democrats willing to be truthful some of the time. Dean is a nutcase, but ever so often he comes out with a cogent point.

Barack Obama is extremely beatable because he’s on the wrong side of every issue the majority of the people care about.

That’s why he’s lost the support of independents in droves because even they don’t America to become a European style Nanny state.

Pretty simple math.


The Hill

Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who helped Democrats capture the White House in 2008, warns that Sarah Palin could defeat President Obama in 2012.

Dean says his fellow Democrats should beware of inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom that Obama would crush Palin in a general-election contest next year.

“I think she could win,” Dean told The Hill in an interview Friday. “She wouldn’t be my first choice if I were a Republican but I think she could win.”

Dean warns the sluggish economy could have more of a political impact than many Washington strategists and pundits assume.

“Any time you have a contest — particularly when unemployment is as high as it is — nobody gets a walkover,” Dean said. “Whoever the Republicans nominate, including people like Sarah Palin, whom the inside-the-Beltway crowd dismisses — my view is if you get the nomination of a major party, you can win the presidency, I don’t care what people write about you inside the Beltway,” Dean said.
