couple of thoughts:

1. If Mike Huckabee doesn't run. it appears as if it's over if Romney comes in 1st there...NH...NV....SC?....FL.
2. Many thought that Palin would benefit with Huckabee out. WRONG!

I have to admit that things are looking good for Romney.

All he needs to do is come in second here to save face. If he won, I agree he would be hard to stop.

Ann said...

Considering this is Iowa, these are good numbers for Romney

ConMan said...

I agree Bos. If these numbers hold up and Huckabee doesn't run, it will be over early.

Huckabee's support is a mile wide and an inch deep. Romney's isn't even a mile wide. Just wait till we make Huckabee's support for the wars and Romney's support for the Fed the major issues.
Go Ron Paul!

Yeah, Ron Paul will soundly defeat each one of these candidates once people hear him tell the truth and all the others tell their lies

It comes down to this, its Going to Be
OBAMA VS __________ ?

So I ask myself, what kind of debate do I want? Do I want OBAMA challenged on his promises? Do I want OBAMA challenged at all? Yes I do. The best way to challenge a sitting president is to challenge him on his promises, after, its his base that bought those promises. When a challenger can show that the President has failed to live up to his promises, then he starts to fall. Now who can get Obama?

Mitt? Not, he did MittCare before it was ObamaCare.

Its obvious, only Ron Paul can stick it to Obama.

Obama Vs Paul , Now thats a DEBATE !!!

this election is going to be a lot different than 08 when "recession" just started and apathetic voters who lost their jobs at the time didn't even know what hit them or what it had to do with public policies. this time around, a lot more people are unemployed for months if not years and they had a lot of free time to pay attention to politics. expect a lot of new voters, and expect a lot of errors of conventional land-line polling of "likely voters". i doubt you pollsters are that smart to change polling method to get it right immediately the first time ahead of a historical election that almost undoubtedly will generate historical turnouts. if you were smart, you might get it after half a dozen of these prove you wrong totally. to get it right the first time before it even happened? 4get about it.

I agree we need a candidate who can challenge Obama. Most of the GOP candidates will have the same foreign policy ideals as Obama and Bush before him. So that isn't going to be a real difference.

Mitt and many other GOP candidates think we need some form of socialized medical insurance or policy. So that won't be much of a difference.

Many of the GOP candidates either voted for or supported the TARP and bailouts of big banks/corps.

Many of the GOP candidates support massive subsidies here domestically and support Foreign Aid payments.

Many of the GOP members never saw the housing bubble coming except one... one GOP candidate who can Challenge Obama on all these points and many others. Ron Paul.

Ron Paul predicted the housing bubble, fought against needless spending domestically and abroad, voted against bailouts, understands that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy is causing inflation - most of all he understands that personal liberty and free markets are the surest ways towards prosperity.
