"What a Match-Up!"

Sarah and Hillary in 2012


I wrote a few weeks ago that Sarah Palin's challenger in the 2012 elections (yes, I think she will run, just like Hillary kept saying she woudn't run for the 2008 elections but did anyway) is not Obama but Hillary herself.

Here is a recent poll reported at the LA Times, with the heading: "What a match-up! America's new most-admired women -- Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton" with Sarah getting 15% of the vote, and Hillary 16%.

The article asks: "Are American voters dropping a hint here?"

Although the article categorizes them as Republican and Democrat, I have made the argument that both are pretty close in many of their political views, with Sarah center-right and Hillary center-left. Their match-up would make for interesting times.
