Hawkins: Palin's the one to beat for 2012 GOP nod

At Right Wing News, John Hawkins has been looking at the results of the latest Pew Research Poll, and he notes that her favorables are on the rise since the last Pew survey, while her unfavorables are on the way down.

While he still hasn't made up his mind whether he'll support Gov. Palin for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, Hawkins says there's no denying the the governor is the favorite To Get The Republican Party's nomination three years from now:

"Having a 16 point advantage with primary voters over the man who would probably be your toughest competitor is no small thing."

[...]

"What this adds up to is that Sarah Palin is in a very strong position for 2012 and would, at least for the moment, still have to be considered the candidate to beat for the Republican nomination."

She's definitely on a roll.
