This was the poll that showed Pawlenty in second last week. Seems like Perry is really going to shake things up if he enters.
Bachmann- 24% Perry- 16% Romney- 11% Pawlenty- 9%
Others all below 5%, 23% Undecided.

How can anyone take seriously a poll that had TPaw in second last week?
It is an important poll and Perry will overtake Romney.

It doesn’t include Palin so it’s worthless.
More propaganda than polling.
Perry’s not running anyway so no biggie.
I thought the same thing initially. But after I compared polls, TPaw was only about 3% point higher in the poll that had him second and the poll that him 3rd/4th. Romney polled much lower than usual in the TCJ Poll last week, and Perry wasn’t a part of the equation.
I like that Bachmann is winning Iowa polls but I’d be happier to see her beating Romney in New Hampshire.

I think in the end you’re so right. Probably will be a 3 way race between Romney, Perry and Bachman, with Perry hurting Romney the most. Then come the crossover Independents into the Republian primary where they will cast for either Romney and Perry but probably not Bachman. Add to that lots of conservatives in the south who believe Perry can go all the way in the general election. Perry will likely work towards splitting both ends, the moderates/Independents and the conservatives for the win. He will be a force if he can quickly raise the money to sustain the energy he will produce. Time is no one’s friend this time on the money needed. Big money, not the $5 per head kind.
You’re partially correct; Perry isn’t running anymore than Palin is.
Well neither of them are running yet.
I don’t think Perry is going to run at all. Palin I think is definitely getting in.
You’d think the pollster would include both so people can get a read on it but no. That’s why it’s worthless.
Perry is running and he will win it all, too.

So nice you had to post it twice?
Kidding.
Perry is not likely to run. He himself says 60 days ago it wasn’t even on his radar. In the end like Daniels Perry will stay out despite the pleadings of those trying to draft him.
He just doesn’t have that fire in his belly. If he does get in the more the merrier! It just doesn’t look like he’s going to.
Yes, Perry is running...all the big money people here in Texas are gearing up to provide the monies needed for a campaign like that and they are excited.
Yeah I’ve heard that about candidates before. Those trying to draft Perry claimed to have raised 500 grand a week or so ago, so that’s promising.
I don’t doubt he could raise some money in TX, that’s for sure.
Still I haven’t heard anything from Perry himself that makes me think he’s getting in.
You haven’t been listening to him...he has all but said he is in....we aren’t talking of the same big money people who are behind him....they haven’t even started with the donations to him...when he announces...that’s when it will start flowing to him...
I don’t follow the primary trail as close as some FReepers, but I did read in the WSJ today that Mitty is devoting his resources to New Hampshire and trying to downplay any Iowa loss.
You haven’t been listening to him...he has all but said he is in....
