".........The survey — operated by the organization Contract From America — asks users to pick favorite candidates in multiple head-to-head match-ups. It’s not scientific, but does indicate which candidates are popular with conservatives.
“By doing so, we elicit the deeper preferences of users well beyond their top choice, which prevents the kind of ‘gaming’ that is often seen in other online polls,” said Ryan Hecker of Contract From America, which runs the poll.
For example, a user may be asked to choose between Scott Walker and Ted Cruz. After that, the user may be asked to choose between Marco Rubio and Rand Paul. That process continues on and on with a variety of potential presidential candidates.
With 935,119 total votes, here are the latest results, as of Wednesday:
1. Scott Walker 80%
2. Ted Cruz 77%
3. Ben Carson 69%
4. Rick Perry 67%
5. Bobby Jindal 62%
6. Marco Rubio 57%
7. Rand Paul 56%
8. Mike Pence 50%
9. Mike Huckabee 47%
10. Mitt Romney 45%
11. Susana Martinez 42%
12. Rick Santorum 41%
13. Rob Portman 35%
14. Donald Trump 31%
15. Jeb Bush 22%
16. Chris Christie 19%

polls don’t matter. it’s Jeb. The GOPe don’t care what we think.
If they run another bush they are more dense than I thought. A quarter of the country will vote against him for Bush- Fatigue ( tm) only.
Lol. The Donald ahead of Jeb and Crispy. Poor mainstream GOPe.
Then, get the hell out of the way of real men who are going to fight against the GOPe....whining losers are not welcome here.
Wooo back up a second..
Simply because I stated what the GOPe is gonna do does NOT mean I am going to lay down and take it.
So drop the tude dude.
They are that stupid.
I see that they do not have Sarah Palin on the list.
Then, perhaps you should type that next time. Clarity of message is important when communicating in text.
Shortcuts, abbreviations and incomplete sentences leads\ to unwanted problems.
Jumping to assumptions seems to be your problem. You read things in my post that I did not write. My message was clear. The GOPe is going to select Bush.
She should have been included.
Or Carly Fiorina.
Jeb may be able to raise a lot of money, but unless he can win some primaries, he faces an uphill battle. The primaries start with Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and so far, Jeb doesn’t do well in any of them. Then we move into the Southern States and with the exception of Florida, he probably isn’t going to win any victories there. In Florida, he probably has to be favored, but any victory there may be very slim. Stay tuned.
Sarah pretty much flopped in Iowa a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think she is going to be a factor. I am also somewhat disturbed by the stories about her one night fling with a fairly well known basketball player years ago.

I think walker will do fairly well in Iowa...
I’d like to see Cruz get off the fence though.
PING
BTTT
Remember when Rick Perry was the shoe in in 2011? That lasted one debate. And this is not a diss on Perry I like the guy.
I predict Jeb is a one debate pony. And if Walker does not get some cohesive foreign policy ideas together he will be too. Ted Cruz knows what he believes about everything. So does Rick Perry and as far as I can tell Bobby Jindal. They will be formidable competitors in a debate. They will rip Jebbie a new one. I don’t know about Walker.
I do remember!
It’s going to be “interesting.”
