The thought of Palin as president terrifies me, but even I'd vote for her over Sheen.On the bright side, this probably reaffirms my suspicion that Palin, Bachman, and even Ron Paul would have little chance in a general election. I wonder who will end up running in the GOP primary in the end.
Palin is stupid, I would rather have an insane president over a stupid one because a stupid one might start a war by sending in the military to help when help isn't needed, an insane president would just...well that would be good either.
As much as I dislike Sarah Palin, I'm not sure how somebody can actually justify voting for Sheen over her. In case we're forgetting, Sheen is a drug addict. Not the kind of person you want leading a country. In this case, Sarah Palin, as much as she's lowered the bar, is the lesser of two evils.
Still, this poll should prove once and for all how unelectable she is.
Given the number of people here at GameSpot who vote for joke options on polls for the lulz, I would not exactly read much into this poll result.
I'd still vote for Sheen.
True, this is by know means a serious poll. We do have a frame of reference, however, to give it a little more relevance - Obama fared significantly better than Palin against Sheen.
Polls like this don't mean much. The fact of the matter is that some people hate Republicans so much that if a KKK Grandmaster was running on the Democratic ticket against Sarah Palin they would still vote against her. Even though Palin wouldn't be my first choice for President, I feel sorry for somebody who thinks a drug addict who's openly sleeping with several woman at the same time (nothing wrong with a threesome if all parties consent but it's not something you would expect the leader of the Free World to do openly) and has a huge sense of entitlement based on his celebrity status would make a better President than somebody who actually has political experience as a Governor. But once again, that anti-Conservative hate comes into play and goes against logic. Some people were even insulting her son who's in the Army and hoping he would get hurt or killed just because of their hate.

Your logic itself is critically flawed. The KKK Grandmaster clearly stands for hate against minorities. Guess who Liberals/Democrats favor the most?

Its a contradiction in it of itself.
He's not too far off-base. After all, Obama and a number of his Cabinet secretaries/czars are some of the most racist bunch to tarnish America's rich history.

What has Obama said that was either racist or tarnished America's "rich" history?

Obviously you didn't get the sarcasm. I know in real life people would choose Palin over the Grandmaster if it was their only two choices because they wouldn't want an open super-racist in the White House. But in the case of Sheen people seem to think a drug addict is a better choice than a former Governor.

Both Sheen and Palin would be disasters. At this point, the question is not who would be a better president; the question is who would be the most entertaining disaster.

You basically saved me having to write out my answer and opinion.
What has Obama said that was either racist...-Sun_Tzu-
Reverend Wright ring a bell? Or... "cling to guns or religion or antipathy..." statement, police acted stupidly comment... his grandmother typical white person quote...

Reverend Wright speaks for Reverend Wright, not for Obama. Not sure what the "cling to guns/religion" comment has to do with race. Not sure how you construe the police comment as an example of racism. The last example (which I'm not familiar with) is the only one that could possibly be construed as having racist connotations. I'll have to look it up to see what it is.
I'm also not sure why so many Republicans seem so intent on painting Obama as a racist.

Ironic statement that is--normally it's the republicans that receive those connotations... But, I'm not calling him a racist, but to dismiss some of the racial tones in his language and who he has surrounded himself with outright wouldn't be "wise."

How is it ironic? It would only be ironic if I were one who normally made those kinds of accusations, and as far as I recall I have never done that.

I already explained how it was ironic...
Wat.
Read my post before posting snide comments. As I said, it's only really irony if I'm the one who had been making those claims. You were referring to a more general idea of people accusing Republicans of being racist. That's not really ironic.
