'Tis the season for looking back and making lists. Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air, one of the leading political blogs in the country, has been posting the Top 50 stories on their blog for 2010. This is based on the amount of traffic each story generated.
The top story covered polling conducted by democrat firm Public Policy Polling [PPP] that showed Sarah Palin and Barack Obama were tied at 46 points a piece.
From Ed:
The only Palin post in the top 10 this year, this post reviewed the data from a Democratic-leaning pollster, Public Policy Polling, from July. Not only did this poll find Palin locked up with Obama, but also found that Obama trailed the other major would-be contenders from the GOP. The sample even had a +5 Democratic advantage, and still Obama couldn’t do any better in head-to-heat matchups than 46%.

Although any polling two years out from an election should be taken with a huge grain of salt, it must be noted that people who think Sarah Palin can't beat Barack Obama in 2012 will be in for a rude awakening!
Here's a poll heavily weighted with democrats [+5] and at best, it's a draw, and Sarah Palin hasn't even started campaigning yet.
In case you are wondering, the number two most read story of 2010 was the one about democrat Congressman Hank Johnson, who was concerned that overpopulation in Guam might cause the tiny island to capsize! BTW, Johnson is one of the smart ones!
No other potential 2012 presidential candidates made the Top 10. Only Sarah Palin.
