Raise your hand if you believe that Gov. Mitt Romney will win South Carolina next year.

ALL Polls are propaganda.. even if they go in your favor..
Weighted with subtle references and wording they manipulate “ideas”..

Tired of this nonsense.
Romney can never be the Republican candidate if they want any chance to win.
No More RINO’s. Time to take America back

Is Sarah running? Unless you are on the ballot, it is hard to get a vote.

I'm not quite a skeptical as you about all polls. Ones that are well-done can provide valuable information if their limitations are understood. Political parties wouldn't pay big dollars for them, otherwise. These private polls don't want a particular result, the ones paying for it want to know the truth, even if it is painful. Results from the good, private polls generally aren't publicized so as to not alert the opposition. Most media polls are junk because the ones paying for the poll want results which can be spun into a storyline.

Media polls right now reflect little more than name recognition. Given that Mitt is the best known of the announced candidates, I'm not surprised that he is leading right now.

we need to get past Mittens (Obama light) ASAP. There’s serous work ahead and he’s screwing up the works.

I really doubt this will become reality. Romney only received 25% in the poll, but was able to lead in it because of the fact that there were so many alternatives. By the time the real South Carolina primary rolls around it’s going to be Romney vs. the lead anti-Romney candidate and then maybe someone like Ron Paul. My guess is that the 75% of voters in this poll who voted for someone other than Romney will mainly go to the leading anti-Romney candidate.

Romney leads the pack with 25 percent, with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who has yet to declare if she is running, in second with 16 percent. U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota placed third with 13 percent,...

OK now Gov Palin is not in the race yet. So if it comes down to counting votes do you think the 16% going to Palin are going to go to Bachman or Romney? IOW it is more like Romney 25%, Conservative 29%. Now if Palin actually announces it will be a different story.

Do they have electricity to get the internet? IF so then just a little research if they aren’t to lazy will show them pretty boy is a plastic Ken doll and a country club elitist, RINO.

Send donations directly to candidates, defund the RNC who want to choose a pretty face over conservatisim.

My prediction is that Rick Perry will win SC.

I think the poll is accurate because it shows that75% of the South Carolina GOP doesn’t want Romney. The problem is that unless conservatives unite behind one alternative to Romney (e.g. Palin, Bachmann or Perry); Romney will win the nomination by simply racking up pluralities against a big field.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Slick Willard wouldn’t want both Palin and Perry to jump in and divide the conservative vote between themselves and Bachmann.

Polls are used to manipulate the weak minded..
All others already made up their minds about Obama..

Anyone that cares what a Poll says/indicates mind is mush..
Most people are not as dumb as all that..

Even most Obama supporters are not dumb, they are corrupt..
Totally, partially, or marginally corrupt..

A corrupt President supported by corrupt people.. with a corrupt administration..
Birds of a feather flock together..

Milt has wanted to be President since he was an itsy-bitsy baby.

That, alone, is enough reason to not vote for him.
