[svcw]

How on earth does MR poll so high?

[Piers-the-Ploughman]

it’s his turn to be the nominee according the GOP playbook that has been in the public domain for 15 years or so. his and huck’s voters both think it’s Mitt’s or Huck’s turn

[Grunthor]

Sarah Palin 32% (14,656 votes)

Mitt Romney 30% (13,576 votes)

Dick Cheney 8% (3,763 votes)

Newt Gingrich 15% (6,695 votes)

Mike Huckabee 15% (6,615 votes)

Tim Pawlenty <1% (151 votes)

Total Votes: 45,456

Mitt is doing well I see, the lefties are busy on foxnews’ website.

[definitelynotaliberal]

And they both need to review their qualifications/candidacies honestly. I had been a Romney supporter, still have no problem with him (please don’t trouble yourself to flame me), but I think that Glenn Beck hit the nail on the head when he said that Romney’s a CEO, not a reformer. So, if she’s not in the race, he has my vote.

What I find distressing abt the poll is that there’s not a larger gap between MR and SP. And Dick Cheney gets less support than Gingrich?!

[freedumb2003]

The important thing is that Huckabee is low enough that maybe he won’t soil himself with another run.

[fish hawk]

I would imagine because he knows how to run a business, make a payroll which most politicians that are in there under Obama has never done including Zero himself.

The lib kids are waking up to palin being an actual threat...so they will be twinking rombo from here out for a better shot at at oduma winning...

[SmartInsight]

I'd like to see a poll where Scott Brown is one of the options.

If he could run a winning campaign in Massachusetts, he can run a winning campaign in all 50 states to beat Obama like a drum.

[element92]

I will not vote for the following
under any circumstances ...

Slick Willard
Huck
xxx Bush
xxx Cheney

[freedomfiter2]

If he could run a winning campaign in Massachusetts, he can run a winning campaign in all 50 states to beat Obama like a drum.

Yeah but then we’d be stuck with the best we can do from Mass. not the vest we can do.

[keats5]

Scott Brown was the in the right place saying the right things at the right time to win the senate seat, but I doubt he’ll get serious backing from Republicans and
Conservatives for a highly contested primary, unless he changes his stance on abortion and gets a lot more experience.

[nhwingut]

If he could run a winning campaign in Massachusetts, he can run a winning campaign in all 50 states to beat Obama like a drum.

You're right. Although maybe not Brown just yet. But the key to a big win for any Repub, IMO, is strong fiscal conservatism and a hawk on national security. This connects with about 65% of the country. That was Scott Brown and Bob McDonell. They left the social stuff to the libs, i.e. Scott Brown wants rapists denied at hospitals. Bob McDonnell wants woman stuck in kitchens.

Contrast those two issues with the commie in the WH and it'd be a Reagan-like whooping.

[Doulos1]

Polls,I hate them. Question-Why isn’t Jim DeMint’s name on this imaginary poll? Only one of the names on this list is conservative enough for me. Palin’s support for Juan has soured me on her. Mitt,see Romneycare. Cheney, I would vote for,but he is not running. Newt, see commercial with Pelosi and support for Scuzzi’. Huckabee, not conservative, likes illegals and helped McLame win primary. Tim who? The guy who served a co-chair on McLame’s campaign. Jim DeMint is the only GOP name that I know right now who I would vote for. Does anybody else know someone else? Any Ronald Reagan republicans out there?

[chae]

Um, no. Because then we would end up in pretty close to the same issues we had with McCain.

[factmart]

Mitt Romney is done, I even wanted him more than Huck when only one left were the three. He can not get enough votes to go a head of Palin but could cause rino to get in. Too many will not vote for a Morman.

[mtnwmn]

Because he is smart.
