IMO, it’s Duncan Hunter, then Mitt Romney, then Fred Thompson.

If Fred and Mitt stay in the race, Giuliani will be our nomination, and Hillary will be the President.

Fred doesn’t look healthy enough to serve 8 years. 4 maybe, but not 8.

Perhaps Mitt should approach him for the VP slot, turn his votes over to Fred by withdrawing, and then run as the Republican candidate in 2012 when Thompson steps aside for health reasons.

Under no circumstances should Giuliani be given a chance to face-off against Hillary *again*. He had his chance, but withdrew, and she’s a two-term Senator because of him.

Rasmussen must be polling RINO’s... it’s Hunter who is the most conservative.

Sorry, this republican sees Duncan Hunter as more conservative, he walks the walk.

“Republican Ideology Republicans See Thompson as Most Conservative Option, Romney Second”

Out of the electable candidates, this is true.

Duncan Hunter probably wasn't listed as an option in the poll. If I'm right, I wonder why the Rassmussen Poll blackout on Hunter?

He's obviously both the most conservative of the candidates and the most qualified of the non-Governors.

Mitt’s not going to be anybody’s VP. Mitt would make a great running mate for anybody, given his ability to work a crowd, and to debate the issues, but I just don’t see him as 2nd banana to anybody. Look at his career. He’s been in charge for the last 40 years. Don’t see that changing anytime soon.

How do they know what Fred Thompson believes?

I have been researching him for 6 months and couldn't tell anything about him other than he is an underachiever at everything he tries.

Interestingly, while Thompson is seen as the most conservative candidate by Republican voters, the perception is a bit different among all voters. Forty-one percent (41%) of all voters see Romney as politically conservative. Thirty-eight percent (38%) see Thompson as conservative

All this means is that Thompson gives off that populist vibe that attracts Reagan Democrats/Independents even though he's speaking conservative truths. Whereas republican voters don't trust Romney so he's been going overboard trying to sound like a conservative. Many Republican voters know their real records, hence the subtle difference between them and the rest of the population.
