Republicans have seemingly grown tired of Sarah Palin’s teasing about running for President, and have decided she should just stay out of it.
A shocking 71% say the former reality TV star should not run for the White House in 2012, according to a Fox News poll.
Only 25% of those asked the question, “Do you think Sarah Palin should run for president in 2012 or not?” responded “Yes.” Another 4% said “Don’t Know.”
Of those who identified themselves as Tea Partiers, 66% said Palin should not run. Only 28% said she should, while 5% said they didn’t know.
The poll comes after the half-term ex-Alaskan governor teased Iowa with an appearance at a poorly-attended Tea Party rally where she once again refused to say if she was going to join the race for Commander in Chief.
So who do Republicans appear to favor for 2012?
Rick Perry came out as the favorite, with 26% saying they would “like to see as the Republican nominee.” Mitt Romney came in second with 18%.
When asked which “announced or potential candidates” respondents thought were “just too extreme to be seriously considered,” Michelle Bachmann was the top choice with 18%.

Agreed! Sarah Palin would turn the race into a cakewalk for Obama.

So would Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann. The only resonable candidate out there seem to be Romney.
