Uh huh.
Like I said from the beginning... Thompson made a big mistake in waiting so long to get in. Unfortunately, we are confronted with a lackluster slate of candidates. We’ve just got to choose the one who has the best chance of beating Hillary—for the good of the country. Otherwise we might as well kiss the American dream goodbye.
I wonder if the question was “regardless of which one you plan to vote for..which candidate is the best looking?”
Yeah, Slick Willard’s got the big MO, dontchaknow? He’s WAY more popular in SC than Fred. This poll could never be an outlier. How could you think such a thing? LOL
Sorry, but Mitt almost TRIPLES his support in SC?
I doubt it.
Good. Romney would be an excellent candidate. Well spoken, highly successful, religious, and espousing conservative social and economic positions. Sounds like a winner to me.
If you look at the 2 month trend, Fred Thompson has dropped 17 points.
Good stuff! Notice the usual sore losers are out and about on the thread!
Agreed. The Fred heads will scream conspiracy, MSM RNC bias etc.
I'm looking forward to a few debates with the big three and then the voters will decide.
Governors win the Presidency. Senators don’t.
At least not in the past 47 years, they haven’t.
Not surprised Romney is doing well, he’s a real candidate unlike the other new southern candidate.
If one poll was to be believed, it looks like he didn’t wait long enough, because his highest numbers were right after announcing.
I don’t put much credence in one poll though.
Still, I’m happy to see Romney polling well in this and several other states. I wish Thompson’s and Giuliani’s numbers were reversed though.
Guiliani is the only consistent one, and will likely win South Carolina without much trouble.
Mitt and Julie Anne at the top. Yuck.
I’m not familiar with this polling outfit, but frankly those figures just are not credible.
Even when Giuliani stood up and announced that he never saw an abortion he didn’t like and that women had a constitutional right to have the taxpayers pay for it, he didn’t drop that much.
It looks bogus to me.
Polling mental patients and pet canaries doesn’t count, dude. Come back with an authentic poll that joshes with reality. You Mittwitts are pathetic putting out this baloney with a straight face.
