I guess the Orkin man and the Maytag repairman had prior commitments.

871 votes? Geez, that’s nothing. This poll means nothing in the scheme of things.

Cruz/Walker. The only choice.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Fiorina has had a lot of good things to say recently so she bares hearing out.
Going with the “most logical” and “experienced” candidates has gotten this country nowhere in the last 20 plus years.

Everyone below Cruz, get out now.
Carson will drop out, broke. Which leaves Cruz, Walker and Fiorina. Firoina vs Hillary? Hillary gets slaughtered. Walker vs Hillary? Will be better than 2012, just cannot determine how much better.
Cruz vs Hillary? Every Conservative is voting. It’s a route.

Webb + Sanders = 125
Clinton = 48.
I'm wondering if Sanders + Webb might be the Democrat's best ticket, to give them the potential of 16 years in office.
Both political parties, forcing hillary and Jeb on the voters, demonstrates just how disgusting and in cahoots the political class is. It's them vs us, across the political spectrum.

A couple guys around 70 years old are not going to be the Dems candidates for president.

16 Years? God forbid. We can barely make it through the present eight. And Webb was is a former republican.

Uhhh...hillsty will be around 70 years old. Under Obama, the dems have fostered no young talent. both Webb and Sanders are pretty youthful and in good shape for their ages; hillary is not.

"Scott Walker is the only candidate with the skills to lead...He's the only one who really understands the Constitution." I'm not so sure about that, but he certainly kicked @$$ on the government unions, and that's all I need to know.

That's some great coverage.
- Carson 224
- Florina 201
- Walker 192
- Cruz 100
No one else cracked 50. Cruz? Barely mentioned. Dr. Ben Carson is, at best, a VP running mate. Thanks to his inability to maintain his conservative mask on some basic issues, he's clearly picking up info-challenged voters who like his speech.

No, that would be Andrew Cuomo/Elizabeth Warren
That’s the back-up plan if for some reason Hillary gets forced out of the race, though i can see nothing where she voluntarily drops out so it would have to be something dramatic.

To: mc5cents
I have used Straw polls to cite the success of Cruz. Here are my observations...
Carson remains too strong, but he wont’ be around long. Fiorina beating Walker is a big deal...especially if Walker showed up at the Conference.
Cruz was strong despite showing up...bodes well...
Huck and Santorum need to get out now.
