While I think Huckabee might make a viable candidate in the primaries, Romney won’t be. He’s DOA. Tim Pawlenty can give it a shot, but he’s got a very steep road to travel.
My big question is this: Where is Senator DeMint’s name? At this time, and I know it’s early days, the nomination is his to lose.
Bummer for Jindal, he seemed like a really classy guy - but he probably hired a bunch of “professional” Republican advisers as I’m sure that he didn’t have much time to spend on national issues, given the hell-hole he’s trying to run over there. As to the poll where Huckster is up 2:1,...the only poll that matters, to me at least, is one where you have to pay-to-play, and on that poll (i.e., Amazon.com), it’s all Sarah.
Looks like a popularity poll, and not a values poll.
If the “Value?” voters don’t wake up they are going see to it that we have marxist rule for 8 years!!
Jindal’s obviously not ready this decade and he may never be, but that Values Voters Summit isn’t an accurate picture of where prospective candidates stand anyway.
By the looks of that poll, I can tell who the voters were... At least the only true conservative on the list came in #4... She still has sway ;)
