GOP to Palin: Don't run

Nearly three quarters of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents do not want Sarah Palin to run for president, according to the latest McClatchy-Marist poll.
A full 72 percent of potential GOP primary voters said they did not want Palin to enter the race.
Only 24 percent said they hoped she would run.
If Palin were to run, she'd win support from 13 percent of GOP primary voters, which is not a bad conversion rate among the voters who are interested in her candidacy. But that's a relatively small group to draw from.
The result lines up with earlier polling — conducted by Pew — that found 41 percent of Republicans would not consider voting for Palin in a presidential election.
The Marist survey also had an ominous, though less bleak, result for Rudy Giuliani: 58 percent of Republicans don't want him to run, 32 percent do and 14 percent would back him if he did.
