Early polls are meaningless, yet this poll seems to contradict all the PPP polls being posted here by Mr. Ant.

These Republicans are not true blue conservatives like the Tea Partiers.
Huck is NOT a winner.
Palin IS a winner.

We do want to win, but what is the point if the party nominee does not represent our views?
I vote my heart in the primaries, and if I lose there (I usually do, haven’t won since Reagan’s 2nd campaign), then I hold my nose and swing on the elephant’s tail.

I keep saying watch out for Huckabee. This guy has TALENT. He drew strong numbers as a virtual unknown. He created a lot of buzz and free publicity in creative and cagey ways. He's a slick talker who doesn't seem slick. He seemed to appeal to a lot of socons last time. He's a contender.
I believe the timing is all wrong for Palin. In fact, I'm not even sure she'll run. In that scenario, I believe Huckabee beats Romney and becomes the nominee, and could win.
PS--My name comes from Twain, not Huckabee. I'm not endorsing him, just sayin'.

Repeat after me... “In the primaries, I will not vote based on the MSM’s projection of ‘electability’. I will vote for the candidate who most reflects my views.”

If Huck or Mitt get the nod, the Pubbies lose.

Their competing convention speeches show the differences between them. Huck is media smooth, like Clinton; Palin is hot. The best speech besides hers was Rudy’s. I can see him as her VP, and he would take it. My guess is that he can see himself as her Cheney.

I also think things like CNN polls are created in such as way as to try to discourage true conservatives. CNN is part of the problem not part of the solution, so maybe we should consider the source and continue on.

The pubbies have to keep Obama off balance. He still is, but they are not pushing hard enough.

I completely agree. I like Herman Cain right now. I was a ‘Fredhead’ last time around, Huck and Mitt were never top of my list.

Bottom line: the MSM/Cultural Marxist/Progressive machine WANT people like Huck to win but they’re scared to death of Palin. She shines the light on them the way Reagan did and the cockroaches flee for their lives.

Lib polls - “winner” is a code word for Romney or Jeb Bush.

Huckabee has a TALENT for pardoning murderers and saying it is “Unchristian” to deny illegal aliens benefits.
He doesn't seem slick, he seems smarmy and sleazy, like a corpulent less charismatic Elmer Gantry.

To: pgyanke
Absolutely! One can hope that Republican voters learned their lesson from an “electable” candidate such as John McCain.
I just don't see Huckabee winning the nomination. His past opinions and stances could easily be exploited.
To: Rational Thought
I really dont care at this point.
For me - its ANYBODY BUT BARRY 2012 - INCLUDING MADOFF, SCOTT PETERSON, VANDERSLOOT, OJ, ETC.

Huck is a worse RINO than Mitt, IMHO. Mitt, at least, had the sorry excuse of representing a far left constituency. They both should become Democrats and challenge ObaMao.

No, I will vote based on my own judgment about electability. Count me in the 68%.
