The day after Mitt Romney opened the door to another possible presidential run, a new poll shows he has a huge lead among likely 2016 Iowa Republican caucus voters.
According to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday, 35 percent of likely GOP caucus voters would vote for the 2012 GOP nominee in 2016. When Romney’s name was added to the pool, no other candidate received double-digit votes.

But they do have to know they are not loved as much as they think they are right?
they don’t really give a crap what freepers think.
that’s just the reality.
True. There aren’t that many Freepers, anyway.
You can’t find some fresh crap, only the same old crap?
“Enjoy” the ride down as best you can.
That’s the plan.
Everyone can sweat all they want about Mitt, but the one I'm keeping an eye on as a front-runner in a Romney-less primary is Jebba the Bush.
He's quietly but surely moving around the states, meeting with the right people, talking to the right groups, getting his donors on board, and working with the media.
He will be well-financed and he certainly has experienced hands on deck who will promote him from here to kingdom come when the right time arrives.

I didn't "lose" the election...the stay-at-home conservatives have destroyed the US.
I aim to politically destroy all liberal republicans and ensure they never win a single election again.
That's fine if you have conservative replacements for them. Handing a seat to a RAT screws everyone, not the RINO.
That is just like; If you were playing chess, and had the black game pieces, then deliberately lost them because you didn't like the way they looked.
Only this isn't chess, the stakes are much much higher.
Your position, at election time, means you are not in the fight.
Disagree strongly.
That attitude is exactly why we’re saddled with BHO#2.
It’s not just the president, it’s all the appointees, czars etc that must be fumigated.
The whole lot must be sent packing and an (R) is needed to do that.
Maybe Herman Cain will run again.
The liberal republicans destroyed the US when they ran a liberal republican candidate.
You voted for a liberal. You bitched and whined when people told you they weren't going to vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-amnesty, socialized medicine, big government liberal.

Well you do have Christie and Santuram pulling up the rear so you have plenty of choices!

I think it would take more than that, and two short years isn't enough to change the primary protocol that gives northeastern liberal and/or open primary states disproportionately heavy representation.
All we have to do is pray for a miracle.
LOL!
Of course the guy you let win THINKS he is the king.
people told you they weren't going to vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-amnesty, socialized medicine, big government liberal.
Instead they allowed the election of a wild eyed, fully documented communist and moslem from birth, a foreigner, totally committed to the global caliphate and eradication of western culture especially the USA.
Compared to that...an American-raised RINO squish sounds pretty good. At least we'd have a thriving economy and affordable energy.
A TEApublican Congress wouldn't let him be liberal.
You said it.
Rove talks about "brand." We've got two brands, Republican and Democrat, for one product: Big Government.
Americans are smart. They see it, they know it. They plainly want another product.
We really, really need a second party.
Run a liberal republican, lose.
It's that simple.

GOP-E wishful thinking, stoked by Romney’s former campaign staff looking for a new gravy train.
He’s their ace in the hole to stop a conservative from getting the nomination.
It would be great if Cruz, or Palin, or a real limited government Constitutional-type Christian conservative got the Republican nomination. It would also be great if I won the lottery. I ain't plannin' on either one.
The GOP will probably nominate (ha ha) a Democrat-lite Republican, again. I believe that numbers are very strong in legitimate voters in America toward a limited government mood, really a stand on taking back freedoms and cutting back the Federal Government, but with deep prejudices against Democrat as well as Republican stereotypes. An "Independent" can be that bridge, and his best allies will be conservative Republicans. If the Republican party throws off the mantle of the limited government party, then it will be time for a "third" party.
Maybe it's time for one anyway. How a political party could expect intelligent people to stick with it when its nominees held the same big-government values as the opposition party ... well, people are smart enough to know a load of crap when they see it, and the choice between big government pile 1 and big government pile 2 seems invisible only to the MSM.
