Thanks! LOL.

[Venturer]

It’s too early for this anyway.

But ,if we can get Republicans in the majority in both houses the President will not matter so much.
I can write in whomsoever I like and romney and the cowardly middle road republicans can KMA.

[Squantos]

Yep....agree !

[GenXteacher]

ROFL!!!

This just proves Sarah point about indexes.

Here's a link to the original release by Public Policy Polling (PDF file):

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_NMTX_226.pdf

It also includes a New Mexico poll, which went Romney 33%, Palin 32%, Huckabee 18%.

The only other choice in either poll was "Undecided". The Texas poll did, however, include a favorability question for Ron Paul, which was 38% Favorable, 30% Unfavorable, and 32% Not Sure.

For whoever's interested, the Texas poll also included a question on the Senate candidates: Perry 40%, Hutchinson 31%, and Medina 20%.

It should be noted that Public Policy Polling is a North Carolina firm whose clientele almost exclusively consists of Democrat candidates, Democrat-leaning interest groups, and the NC Democrat Party itself. While I don't think they fudged the results, I do think their bias might have contributed to the fact that they only included three potential candidates who (at least in their eyes) have almost no chance of beating Obama.

[Carley]

Sure he is.

not

[Al B.]

4 or 5 months ago, UT/Austin did a poll of Romney vs. Obama. Obama was ahead by 2 points with a large number undecided (about 30%).

If Romney is the nominee, Texas is in play for Obama IMO. Hundreds of thousands of conservatives will stay home or vote 3rd party.

If you go to Public Policy Polling’s blog spot, the pollster talks about ways to beat Richard Burr and spins any good polling news for Burr as meaningless. I suspect they do let their liberal bias get in the way of its polling methods.

Romney and McCain are joining forces to try and cut the consertabive candidates out of the running, along with other RINOs and the SRM.

[onyx]

Romney will not be the nominee.
Uncomfortable truth, his religion is the impediment.

[big'ol_freeper]

Um...no...his liberalism is the impediment.

[onyx]

I’m right. Iowa and Huckbee proved that.

You’re full of shit. He’s a liberal. Why would conservatives support him. Whether people don’t support him because of his religion or not, ultimately he could be a Evangelical and conservatives still would not support him because he is an F-ing liberal.

[Melchior]

I would almost bet even money that the Republican candidate for pres in 2012 will not be Romney, Huckabee or Palin. This election cycle is crucial to the Republican future, and should flush the has-beens and never will bes.

[pallis]

McCain II. From the establishment corner, we have Romneycare, the Mitt plan for growing Socialism.

[onyx]

Don’t you dare swear at me!

You’re ignorant to think his religion is not a huge impediment. He was forced to make a major speech about it in ‘08.
