National security Republicans prefer Palin

Michael Goldfarb posted an interesting item a few days ago at TWS's The Blog.

According to a recent Rasmussen poll, those Republicans for whom national security is the most important issue, Gov. Sarah Palin is their first choice with with former Gov. Mitt Romney a close second. For Republicans with economic matters at the top of their list of issues, Palin and Romney are tied for the lead with 24% each.
This doesn't bode well for Governor Romney, in our opinion. With his considerable experience in the world of high finance and his reputation as a turnaround specialist, we would have thought that he would have a considerable advantage over all of his potential rivals for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. That is not the case. Last year's financial meltdown seems to have tarnished the image of money men in the public's eye.
