Poll Shows The GOP Front-Runner Is Not In The Race Yet?
Elephant Watcher ^ | June 23, 2011

"The conventional wisdom that Mitt Romney is a 'clear frontrunner' has taken root among political pundits. But a new poll suggests that Republican voters simply prefer candidates who aren't in the race yet, and that Romney is quite vulnerable.

In the past, we have seen how poll results can be dramatically different based upon which candidates a pollster chooses to include. The latest polling experiment puts Romney in a head-to-head matchup against various candidates, including those who have not yet declared they're running. (No, Sarah Palin wasn't one of them.) The poll, conducted by IBOPE Zogby/Newsmax, pits Romney against Chris Christie and Rick Perry. Here's how they performed, among likely Republican primary voters...."

Romney already crashed his campaign ship on the rocks with his idiotic defense of the mini-ObaMaoCare fuster cluck which he helped midwife in Massachusetts.

But there is a certain band of idiots which keeps trying to pull it off with their attacks on his religion and other irrelevancies. They would rather have a punching bag than a viable conservative alternative.

The worst part is, the truth about Romneycare, if I understand correctly, is that Romney basically talked the MA legislature DOWN to that, they wanted single-payer initially.

This isn’t an endorsement BTW (it makes him appear weak if that’s actually what happened)...

Quit defending Romney by attacking freerepublic and freepers.

If you want to limit what can be considered in discussions of Mitt Romney, then contact JR and make the suggestion to him, see if he supports it.

Advocating censorship is neither my job, nor my style.

In fact, I support the right of people to be religious bigots or useful idiots to the left if they so chose.

Thank you for providing such quick identification to my post #4.

What you do advocate is promoting Romney any way possible, attacking Christians for speaking in defense of Christianity, and attacking freerepublic for it’s tolerance of open speech in regards to cults, and freepers for being against Mitt Romney.

No Mitt.
