the 2012 presidential election poll

turbo

I don't see any, Evo. Not to say that a Christy can't jump in without having built a base and organization, but I don't see who can do that. Got any prospects?

Evo

But Christy is a whale. I can't imagine him being electable just due to his appearance, IMO.

Jimmy Snyder

Christie. He won't run unless he's drafted. It could happen if Romney can't get 50% of the delegates.

Evo

Christie is a hoot though. Don't know what his political positions are.

Jimmy Snyder

As governor he has been very active in trying to reduce govt waste, fraud, and abuse. If he runs, I expect he'll focus on that.

...and then there were four...

Rick Perry to Drop Out Today

He was only polling about 6%. In such a close race, that 6% can be a game-changer - I wonder where the Perry voters will go? Santorum seems the closest fit, politically.

This leaves Newt, Romney, Paul, and Santorum.

Evo

Perry is backing Gingrich, but that doesn't mean his voters will.

Can you add Colbert as an option to the poll?

MarcoD

On Dutch local news, the opinion of a US politics watchdog was that it'll likely be Romney, but Gingrich would -from a political view- be more interesting since it would spur genuine debate between the two parties.

lisab

Lol...things are already far, far too "interesting", IMO...

turbo

Yep! Things will bet even more interesting if Gingrich starts to gain on Romney. How will this play with the evangelicals on the right?

Given their past history, they'll probably praise him as a savior of Christian family values. I've long since lost all respect for evangelicals.

You mean Herman Cain ?

If the GOP nominates Newt, it will be a huge gift to Obama, IMO.

How many women will pull the lever for a serial philanderer, knowing that they could be putting a plastic-looking home-wrecker with screwed-on hair in the WH as First Lady? At some point, even evangelicals might have to look beyond the "no abortion" bar they set and judge the moral character and trustworthiness of the candidates.

KingNothing

It's more than just women who are disgusted by him. I will never understand how it's acceptable for someone to go around preaching about religious moral values but be a total dirtbag in their own personal life. Drives me crazy and I'm sure it just gives the groups he claims to represent bad names.

Obama is the "least of evils" this time around.

What a sad Republican line up; that must be embarrassing for most republicans to have these people representing their party. The republican identity seems to have changed a lot since I was born.

I heard a crack team of republican scientists is work diligently on figuring out how to clone Ronald Reagan.
