I hate to pop your bubble, but the primary is six months away. These polls won’t mean a thing then. In 1980, George H.W. Bush was leading Reagan by double digits in New Hampshire two weeks before that primary, having won the Iowa caucuses. In case you don’t remember how that one came out, it was Reagan with 51% in the ten candidate field. Bush, who had the big lead, was the closest with 27%, 24 points back.

Your guy reminds me a lot of G.W. Bush, who got his clock cleaned by a jowly sixty something actor. To paraphrase FDT in his Michael Moore response....Something you might want to think about.

Me thinks you doth protest too much.

But, it is early. Anything can happen. We shall see.

Early primaries, plural, redgirl should’ve noted. Iowa and New Hampshire are far, far from flagships in terms of future Republican showing, and I think we all know that. Overall the early GOP primaries are front-loaded for conservative candidates, so my advice is for bw17 and redgirl to stop drinking the Romney kool-aid.

Soon they’ll see the Thompson juggernaut, and then come back to this forum and offer apologies....
