So Sarah’s numbers are going down? I think she’s the only one effectively speaking out right now...but that’s my opinion. I know she’s giving the WH a run for their money and I LOVE it. I figure anyone’s better than what we have now.

Who will win the straw poll on the 2012 presidential race at next week’s Values Voter Summit?

1. 0.31% Newt Gingrich
2. 13.52% Mike Huckabee
3. 0.63% Bobby Jindal
4. 75.16% Sarah Palin
5. 0.0% Ron Paul
6. 0.31% Tim Pawlenty
7. 0.63% Mike Pence
8. 0.94% Rick Perry
9. 7.55% Mitt Romney
10. 0.94% Rick Santorum

I have another question. Does anyone know if there’s anything in Congress right now to let Obama or any President not have a term limit, and be allowed to stay in as long as he wants (like a dictator)? I saw that on the GOPUSA email this morning from a reader. This is what they wrote:

Remember, the American people have forgotten that there is legislation pending in Congress that would eliminate the term limit for the president. That would give Obama the comparable title of King for Life since he would be elected perpetually by the Democrats and there would be no end to his reign. Watch that legislation closely and remind people that this is real.

If that’s true and passes, this might be a moot point. Scary stuff...I hope it’s not true.

LOL yeah, just a "slight" edge!!!

She's my pick but hey, I'd vote for Yosemite Sam if he ran against nObama.

Oh, yeah, I guess we tried that in '08. Better run a pair of serious conservatives in '12...

That “legislation” would have to be a Constitutional Amendment. Even then he would have to stand for elections.

Good. I hope it never comes to ‘legislation’ because they’d pass that through right now, too. They seem to be able to pass anything through.

Thank you so much! I can sleep tonight now—it’s not happening today.

As of today, none of the above (or below). My 2 cents, for what they’re worth.

Newt Gingrich - unelectable (and apparently has been negatively affected mentally by “climate change”)

Mike Huckabee - Rino

Bobby Jindal - Not Ready

Sarah Palin - Not Ready (but MAY be by 2012 - keeping my mind open on this - certainly would keep Letterman on a few years longer (barf)

Ron Paul - I appreciate his domestic agenda but a foreign policy walking disaster (flame on, Paulines)

Tim Pawlenty - Rino - Switched to Republican so he could run outside the DFL machine in MN.

Mike Pence - Keeping an open mind.

Rick Perry - Opportunist. Hell, we’re not real thrilled with him here in Texas.

Mitt Romney - Uh, no. Too plastic - will say what’s necessary, but I can’t tell if he has a core or not.

Frankly, I don’t think our candidate has made his/her presence known, yet.

Funny, when this poll first started out this morning Huckster had 57% to Sarah’s 17%. What a difference a day makes!
