CNN national poll: Republicans most inclined to back Huckabee

[Liberalrocks]

I can't believe I am about to defend Sarah Palin here, but I am. This is a CNN poll and I am wondering how they polled the republican electorate. I would assume they polled a majority more moderate republicans here. I hardly believe she is at a net negative rating in her own party. This is the only poll I've seen where she has a net negative out of the republican party. Once those tea party nuts get going her support will rise. Sarah needs to hope that Huckabee doesn't run as I have seen multiple polls that indicate she is the second choice of a large majority of his base. If Huck is out she has a better chance at the nomination. With Huck out I could see her winning early in South Carolina and possibly coming in at number 2 in Iowa.
