He even leads by 9 in the south. That suggests that even states like Texas and Georgia will be competitive in 2012.

It also suggests that Palin's death-panel jihad isn't working (except among Republicans).

But Palin is still 73-16 among Republicans; that, coupled with the polls showing that many Republicans really do believe that Obama is is an illegitimate president who wants death panels, suggests the Republicans will still nominate someone like Palin in 2012, and then get crushed by Obama in November.
