Obviously as Cain is suspended his campaign, Bachmann is becoming this conservative's front-runner. Thinking: If you want a job done right, you’ve got to do it yourself, Bachmann has articulated well the detail and intent to legislatively get rid of the 'Health Care Insurance Reform' bill. She is also opposing Boehner's RINO ways, and we have to have someone who is going to tell the Washington Elites NO!

“Obviously as Cain is suspended his campaign, Bachmann is becoming this conservative’s front-runner.”

Agreed!!

With Newt and Romney splitting the lib vote, I see an opening for Michele now that Cain is out.

I agree. I’ve always liked her, and the crazy shit about gay bashing just told me about her enemies, not her position. My hope is that the two RINOs will battle it out, and allow Michelle to come forth and be the nominee.

My dream ticket is something like Bachmann-Alan West or Bachman-Bobby Jindal.

Gingrich, in my opinion, is the right-wing Obama. He’s an academic filled with ideas, although since he’s a conservative, those ideas are based in reality. He has a lifetime of wandering to and fro with his thoughts, he can speak well, and he is glib. Obama is a left-wing ideologue on NPR blathering about social change; Gingrich is that guy on the National Review cruise talking about health care policy. Neither are leaders in the real sense of the word. I’d love to see Gingrich in the cabinet or something, though.

All I want is a real conservative. God help us if we have another McCain.

Yeah, I hope she does do something to capitalize on it right away, like get out an articulate the tax code changes we need instead of being legislative tax puppets on a Democrat string every year.

There is also big TEA Party/Conservative influence at the voting both that should give her an unexpected edge that will dumbfound media and elites everywhere.

I like Michele. Her voting record is really good. But I have trouble seeing her as qualified to be president. We have seen what happens when the president lacks the necessary executive experience.

You make sound like you are a Willard supporter.

So it will be interesting to see which direction the attack machine swivels to now.

While Newt is all over the map on various issues at different times, he’s got enough conservative support I look for new dirt to start hitting the MSM in the next week or two.

Attacking Bachmann might be a little tougher, should she rise to the point where they see her as worth worrying about. But after 3 years of Palin attacks, I suspect they’ve learned how to fight a girl.

Michele is rising now. She has proven that even when it would’ve been easy to go along with her President (Bush) on things like Medicare Part D and No Child Left Behind etc. She’s shown that she does have a spine. Those who have criticized her for ‘not getting things done’ are stupid. She has consistently stood on principle and fought for smaller govt consistently. She was out front with the Tea Party. I hope her Team gets their act together because I just can’t jump to Gingrich. We had one Nixon and it was enough.

Yeah, not looking for a debate, I want the summer-slam after all the smack he talked about Bush and then went on to make things worse. There should be no debate, state the problem, show the poor judgement in solving the problem that has only made it worse, and give the proper American solution demanded by the rise of the TEA Party mind-set of doing it right by this Countries Founders and our Constitution.

.

With Rasmussen
(and TOP 5 candidates minus Herman Cain)


Much like what the government does with unemployment statistics, the following chart represents a 4-poll "rolling average" for the latest 20+ polls listed at RealClearPolitics.com (plus other recent national polls).

I also weighted the polls by their size. For example, a poll with a survey size of 1000 was weighted proportionately heavier than an 324 survey size.


Weighted 4-Poll Rolling Averages of the latest 20+ Polls
listed at RCP   [as of Dec 3rd]
plus
YouGov polls 11/26 11/19, 11/12, 11/5, 10/29, 10/22, 10/15, 10/08, &
Poll Position 11/27, 11/22, 11/8, 11/1 polls inserted chronologically
I also broke the 11/9 - 11/14 Pew poll into two, (3-day) polls



(Example methodology for this chart will be on my profile page)

When she came out a winner in Iowa, the media did everything they could to diminish after they realized she wasn’t going to be an easy win after all.

That’s a ‘titanium backbone’ in case you hadn’t heard.
