I believe that last time he ran, he did not support the ethanol scam. They have long memories for that.
Good grief!
Romney, Bush, Walker. GOPe one, two, three.
Is the pollster out to lunch, or have Iowa farmers replaced growing corn with growing marijuana?
I hate the nomination process and these polls. By the time we get to vote in Texas, at least half of the candidates have dropped off.
perfect... Romney and Bush split up the mushy middle / GOPe vote, while Cruz cruses to the nomination :)
Here we go again. The GOP gives us who they want and we have to shut up and take it.
Well, I will not vote for Romney or Bush.
The huckster is a joke.
The nomination is Cruz’s for the taking now that Bush and Romney are splitting the moderate vote.
I like that this must steam the Bushes of Entitlement.
Edging out John McCain for that coveted position.
I’m surprised Romney is still polling
Apparently a lot of Beyonce and J Z fans in Iowa.
This is still just name recognition at this point. Even Walker, who is right next door. The big news is that the Huckster isn’t in the top three. I guess — and hopefully — Christian conservatives are moving on from this snake oil salesman.
I Want Christie!
ie, I Want Romeny 12% Bush 12% Christie 12%.
I allowed myself to be persuaded to give Romney my support and vote in 2012, and even went to the event in Norfolk at which he announced Paul Ryan as his running mate.
But, with the exception of that first debate, he never drew blood from Obama. He caught a case of “stepping-into-a-trap-itis,” and refused to take the hard fight to that kenyan POS. I’ve had up to my nose with GOPers who won’t go on offense, and will not support a weak nominee again.
This is not a poll of who voters think is best qualified.
At this early point in the elections, this is a poll of name recognition.
Romney, who ran last time, has the highest name recognition.
Bush has a brother and a father who used to be president, finishes second.
Walker is the governor in a neighboring state, has the third highest name recognition.
Everyone else is a stranger.
On a scale of 1 to 10, the importance of this poll is no higher than a two.
404 voters polled. In one state. This poll could not be more meaningless.
I’d say none of these ego driven clowns can win without the Conservative vote.
The fact that Walker is already at 10% and has no pre-campaign buzz is a very good sign.
Attaching too much meaning to this “poll” is stupid. If Romney and the Republicans think this is a sign that he is going to win, we are doomed.
Romney is not a good choice. He should go back to whatever he was doing, and drop the idea of being president.
Well, guess right now that there’s only a 10% chance that I’ll vote for president in ‘16.
