Use your reading skills and spot where it says only GOP primary here “...in the telephone survey of 513 registered voters who say they’re likely to cast ballots in the primary.”

You actually think Newt will shrink or eliminate government agencies? Wow, are you dreaming.

If Newt gets the nomination, I hope he picks Cain as his running mate. Groom Cain to be his successor down the road, that's if of course all of the latest allegations of this Ginger woman is false. If Newt grooms Cain and Cain becomes more involved in foreign affairs, this will solidly give Cain the experience in the foreign arena that he needs. This experience will assure him as successor to the Presidency after, hopefully two terms with Newt as President. Cain's experience as Vice President will continue to capture the conservative vote plus the Black vote after Newt's 8 year term and this could be a good strategy in prolonging the conservative/Republicans leadership in this country for the next 12 years. We need at a minimum of 12 years to even try to turn back the damage that Obama has done to this country in just 4years.

. . . And let's not be too sure about Mitt's hold on NH.

As a rule, any candidate who takes three out of the first four is duly crowned by the media. We'll see if they have a coronation for Newt.

OK, so your stance is that all polls are bullshit.

Now we know.

We should remember that if you should ever cite any polls that you favor.

It’s “Curtains” for Mittens and his supporters...they just don’t know it yet.

Newt up double digits in Iowa, SC, Florida. With proportional tallying in the GOP primaries being used and the national polls all swinging in favor of Newt, Mittens should start inquiring about the veep slot.

If you go to the Insider Advantage web site you will see there were a number of Democrats and Independents used in this poll. However Gingrich still did very well among Republicans, but yes, I don’t believe these polls until they have on Republican Primary Voters, not people who will not vote in the primary.

You have that correct I KNOW all for profit public released polls are going to say whatever whomever is paying for them wants them to say. I’m a conservative, I do not look to what others are doing to make up my mind for me. But liberals and weak minded people do. So yeah I will post polls that cause the gullible to change their positions since they can’t think for themselves.

I haven’t missed a primary since I moved to Florida.

No one polled me.

I’ll be voting for Herman.

Your disdain for polls is selective: you like to cite polls that favor Cain (and that Cain is promoting):

The Higher Newt soars the more they will be coming after him.
One of the problems with Republican candidates is that we don’t need the Democrats to kill our candidates we are doing that ourselves.

Havne’t heard one of the candidates attack Obama, they are too busy attacking each other.

I've always thought that a brokered convention would end up with Jeb Bush as the nominee (not that I want him, I don't). I've been predicting this for a while. He's got a known name and would raise tons of ca$h.

Again, I DO NOT want another Bush, so whoever may read this, don't flame me, I'm just stating an opinion.

Personally, I think Mike Pence should be made “an offer he can't refuse” and drop the IN governor's race and run for POTUS. He's be very, very tough to beat IMO.

I've been a Perry fan for a while now, but I think he's too damaged (mostly self-inflicted) to recover at this point.

I couldn’t bring myself to support this flip flopper.

*SIGH*

In the long term, it looks like we’re not going to get a hard core conservative.

In the short term, we’re going to get to see 18 billion threads on FR where people fight over tiny differences between Newt and Perry or between one of them and Mittens.

I need to lie down.

Romney is just not palatable option. Zero excitement level for a candidate is never the formula for victory.

Romney couldn't even beat McLoser in '08. Republicans just don't warm to Myth.
