Our first national look at who Republicans would prefer as their 2012 Presidential nominee confirms the wide open nature of the field. The leading candidates are all within the margin of error of each other, with Mitt Romney leading at 28% followed by Mike Huckabee at 24% and Sarah Palin at 23%. Ron Paul pulls 11%, 9% say they're undecided, and 6% say their preference would be someone else.
Romney's lead speaks to the fact that moderates could actually pick the GOP nominee in 2012. That's because there's gridlock among conservatives about who their preferred candidate is. Huckabee leads with 28% to 27% for Palin and 25% for Romney. But the former Massachusetts Governor has a large advantage with moderates, getting 35% to 17% for Palin and 16% for Huckabee. That significant edge with them gives him the overall lead.

How can you defeat ObamaCare with RomneyCare? "
Mitt says his was first, he was the trend setter, Obama and the Democrats just copied his bright and shining Romneycare, and, that he, Romney, is taller and has better hair.
( rom-think off )
Jan 2013:
President Palin
Vice President Ryan or Demint or Pence
SecDef Petraes
SecState Bolton
SecTreas Romney
If Obamacare passes, Romney is roadkill as the issue will never die, and Romneycare is a similar disaster....
One of the things I like best about Palin, and that I liked best about Thompson, is her outspoken, aggressive rejection of the whole global warming premise. I know in my heart that a huge, vast portion of regular Americans fundamentally, instinctively get that environmental extremism, especially man-caused "global warming," is wholesale bullsh*t.
The politician who makes that a declaration of standing courageously and confidently, faces down the global warming hoax and calls it out, is one I believe Americans will flock toward because that person will be speaking to and for them.
Ah, hey, Mitt, ol buddy? Were you aware that the global ice caps have melted and refrozen and melted and refrozen countless times in this planet's history?
You are such a sucker. Just like a lot of the people who support you.
The poll shows Romney, Huck and Palin within the margin of error.
AMEN.
I think it will be Tim Pawlenty, Scott Brown, or possibly Haley Barbour. Sarah Palin won’t run for President but will be in the public eye.
Here is a real poll.
There ya go!
