I have this fantasy that someone new will come sweeping down the plain and we’ll have a wonderful candidate that we can all get happily behind.
Of course it ain’t a-gonna happen—but to tell the truth, I don’t like any of the Republican candidates..............
Unfortunately the powers that be have established ballot rules that prevent new people from jumping at the last minute.
Looks like whoever gets the next poll surge will take Iowa. I think Perry has a good chance of that.
This is a different article.
This article has some information that is behind the wall at Rasmussen.
Plus this article also has some analysis.
He does. A good chance. But he’ll have to fight for it.
Both Silver and my #'s indicate Gingrich squeaking out a narrow win over Ron Paul, with Romney in third a good bit further back. The only difference was that he had Perry beating Bachmann for fourth, but I agree with that based on the poll data that came out after I did my numbers. (Disclaimer: I'm just an amateur at this, though I've compared my predictions to the outcomes in past races and am only very slightly worse than the pros in my predictions.)
I just can't see Romney building momentum at this point. If Gingrich really does fall off (and I would be surprised if he holds it together), then either Bachmann and Perry have a second wind, or Ron Paul wins it. A Bachmann or Paul win would be a huge victory for the conservative base against the more liberal/big-government RINOs.
If you haven’t already, (and have about 7 minutes) listen to the first part of the 3rd part of Rush’s exchange with Greta.
It sounds like Rush is moving toward a Gov. Rick Perry pick.

A Paul victory would completely eliminate Iowa as a player in future elections. After choosing Huckabee last cycle, choosing Paul this cycle would make all future candidates flee. No way would they bother to spend their money in Iowa.
CW I believe this man is a fighter!!!! However you know better than I.
I have always believed he will receive Palin’s endorsement, he has had
a rough start on the national stage but he is getting far more comfortable.
I believe this man is going to end up as our candidate, I hope he has what
It takes to FIGHT was is going to come at him!!!!
And yet you somehow twist this to be a positive for Perry?! H*ll, the Governor of Texas, can't even poll higher than a crazy old coot congressman from his own state! I personally wish he would, but I know he won't.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

I believe Perry and his family do know what this means and what peril lies ahead, but the decision to remain out of it was an impossible choice, given what Americans are faced with. And he will FIGHT.
Good morning.
Too funny...I just sent you a Freepmail about a different Ras Poll thread, and in it I asked what’s new with you?
Then, I find you posting this one on the same subject but with more substance.
:o)
Gingrich lost 40% overnight on Intrade.
“He does. A good chance. But he’ll have to fight for it.”
I’d at least love to see him knock out RuPaul. He’ll need to shine at the debate tonight.
I am disappointed in the GOP offerings this year. Especailly given that we desperately need to defeat Obama.
That is why I’m giving Perry a second chance.
