You can believe polls or you can believe everyone’s (non)response to the polls.

There’s a big elephant in the room. The one everyone says they’re not afraid of day after day for two years now. It has the biggest following, the loudest opponents, it’s pink, and everyone here knows who I’m talking about.

I believe that Huckabee got a big boost in these polls because Pres. Obama tapped him as his opponent in 2012.

Bill, I don't think anyone said they're not afraid of Palin - of course they are. That's why so many Repubs are coming out and openly criticizing her more often. It's certainly possible that she can win the nomination. So yes, we are a little afraid, but the polls appear to show there's some sanity in the party.

The truth is that her following is rather small, and getting smaller. It's only something like 15% of the party who want's her to run.

Tracey,

Huckabee has gone done. There was only .1% difference between him and Romney last time I viewed these charts. Now Romney leads Huckabee against Obama by 1.6%

Romney's numbers will improve even more as Obama's tanks. And they will.
