Do you really believe that, that the establishment is trying to get Christy or someone else to enter because they KNOW Romney can’t beat Perry? I sure hope you’re right.

It seems pretty obvious. Although, Perry is a weak candidate. Much weaker than I expected. That's the other side of it. They want someone who is more capable than Perry.

I'm hoping Christie doesn't get sucked in. He's said over and over that the answer is no. All we hear are rumors. I just hope he stays the course here in NJ. But I don't blame people for wanting another candidate. Romney and Perry are both bad jokes.

In my opinion, Sarah Palin is number one...and yes, until she tells us otherwise, she is running!

Your opinion won't get her elected. Nothing will. She's between 10 and 155 in most polls however when she's the main subject of a poll, for the last 2 years she's 35% positive and 65% negative. Let her go do dancing with the stars or something else...just keep her away from the ballot.

Why did you leave Palin off? She’s third.

This is not a thread about Palin. She wasn't included in the poll. Neither was my mailman...he's not running either.

I don’t read Huffington. Thanks for the info. And that strip is funny. It’s exactly what she’s doing. There was a time, recently, when I would have supported Palin if she got in. That ship has sailed. I would only vote for her over Obama at this point.
