[Brices Crossroads]

Now, let's peak under the hood and see who conducted the poll. This "Clarus Group" is headed by Ron Faucheux, a well known DEMOCRAT political operative from Louisiana. As recently as 2008, he was serving as the Chief of Staff for DEMOCRAT U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu. He got his start in politics as the campaign manager for Edwin Edwards protege and longtime DEMOCRAT Senator John Breaux. He was a DEMOCRAT state representative in Louisiana.

This poll is about as nonpartisan as James Carville.

The Dems are desperate to shore up Romney as the GOP candidate and must have had this push poll in the can, knowing full well that Obamacare was going to sink him. They are desperate to rehabilitate him and to try to put across the ridiculous notion that Obama is invincible against Palin but would be in the race of his life against Mitt Romney! These push polls should be expected and should be dismissed for what they are: Democrat propaganda. Obama's only hope is to face off against Mitt Romney.

Let's take a little walk down memory lane (as RR used to say). On April 19, 1979, only 18 months before the election, the Gallup poll found Reagan trailing Carter by 52-38%, while the moderate Ford ran much better, trailing Carter by only 48-41%. In December, 1978, Carter's lead over Reagan was an even larger 57-35%, while Ford trailed by 53-39%.

The author of Obamacare has no chance in the GOP primary, period.

[freekitty]

Wonder how much money he is paying to say this.

Exactly. They know that none of us would vote for him; they were successful in getting McCain as the candidate before, and I'm very much afraid they'll be successful in getting Romney as our candidate this time around.

[DJ MacWoW]

The Dems are pushing your favorite Rino. Again.

[Brices Crossroads]

Ping!

[highlander_UW]

I realize this is the dems attempting to push Romney but if the republicans end up selecting him as their candidate I won't be voting for him. And if Obama wins it won't be my fault, it will be the republican party's fault.

President Harpy really liked these polls.

Pray for America and Gov Palin

The poll opens in pdf form only? Silly.

BREAKING: ROMNEY REMOVED HIS STAFFERS
WHO ATTACKED Gov. PALIN and her CHILDREN on the EVE
of ELECTION 2008, throwing the Election to Obama.

"Never mind."

NO FAIR!

We only worry about that kind of stuff when it's the Heritage Foundation or the Washington Times, then anything they say is automatically dismissed.

But anything that comes from a Lefty organization is completely credible and any attempt to discredit it is grounds for criminal prosecution.

Romney as a potential GOP candidate is a complete non-starter, as far as I’m concerned, and being as objective as I can be, is a complete and total waste of time and energy. His candidacy absolutely guarantees an 0bama re-election. The whole topic isn’t even worthy of discussion, it’s a disaster that should be rejected out of hand.

[HereInTheHeartland]

The poll sample was probably taken in only Salt Lake City.

[Dan Middleton]

This isn’t a push poll, properly speaking. A push poll is when you intentionally indicate what the “correct” answer is in the question (a “leading question” so to speak) or insert information likely to bias the respondent’s answer. Like, “Now that it’s been revealed that Candidate A beats his wife, are you more likely to support Candidate A or Candidate B?”

This may be a poll designed to “push” a particular agenda, but that’s not a “push poll.”

[Paperdoll]

LOL! Dream on!

[fatnotlazy]

If Romney becomes the Republican candidate, all is lost.

Mitt Romney: ”Now that Romneycare is national, a little self examination
may be in order for you FReepers.
You may want to ask yourself “if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney , could not I have garnered more support
of both Obama and Mitt Romney?“

“Romney praises Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

[onyx]

LOL.

Can you imagine Obam and Romney debating healthcare?

“Mine’s better,” “no, mine’s better.”

We have a Marxist in the White House.

We will need a conservative Republican to defeat him.

SARAH AMERICA!

[McGruff]

Romney you've got a girl to beat before you can think of Osama. And in a fair fight you got little chance. If it's not a fair primary you got alot of us who will write in the real conservatives choice.

[Tennessee Nana]
