Never mind the Romney&Perry vs Obama Polls, what we really need to see are polls with either ticket VS Obama.It seems pretty safe to assume that it's down to Perry&Romney.And in the end it may be a "Perry/Romney/Rubio(and another VP Candidate)"scenerio. Lets hope Rasmussem and Gallup starts taking these polls soon. Especially a Perry/Rubio vs Obama Poll. That would likely be a 55/45 split. Just like the Reagan/Carter landslide.
we have enough potential VP candidates out there, unlike candiates to replace O’Hitler, lets face it, there is not one demorat out there that can beat Romney or Perry.
*During the 1960's Romney opposed Vietnam, moved to France chose to eat snails and foie gras.
*During the 1970's Romney embraced abortion and liberalism.
*During the 1980`s Romney rejected the Reagan agenda.
*During the 1990`s Romney rejected the GOP and the Contract With America.
*In 1994 Romney ran as a liberal Republican against Ted Kennedy.
*In 2002 Romney ran for Governor as a liberal Republican.
*In 2007 Romney had an epiphany and said he saw the light and quickly morped into a conservative.
Truth is, Romney has been working overtime to hoodwink conservatives since 2007. And he's been persona non grata around FRee Republic.
I like Marco Rubio and he has a bright future in GOP politics. Maybe even in 2012.
Yes, I live in Florida and I’d like to keep Rubio too! I’m not sure that Santorum or Kasich would be that attractive, however.
I’ve been thinking over the VP candidates (assuming Perry is the candidate) and I agree that it would be nice to have somebody from another state that is electorally important. At the same time, however, it seems to me that people are now voting less and less on geography or region and more and more on either ideas (Tea Partiers) or personal identification (blacks, for example).
It’s too early to pick the nominee.........I like Cain and if the media would allow him some face time I think alot more of the conservatives would like him too.
If Romney is forced on someone else like Bush41 was forced on Reagan? Let's hope that doesn't happen but it could.
If I'm still in CA next November, my vote won't matter anyway.
I agree. But its not too early to offer honest and objective analysis.
Until the last GOP debate, Cain, Bachmann and Perry were my choices. At some point reality has to be taken into consideration. Cain is a long shot. Bachmann is in meltdown. Perry has been running for 4 weeks. Pretty good for an upstart.
LOL My favorite Romney cartoon smackdown.
Agree completely!!!
I like this one! Perry addressing La Raza.
Wait a minute! That's not a cartoon! woah...
I like the sound of Palin/Rubio. If only she would run.
Cain is a longshot like Reagan was a longshot.
I can not imagine any circumstance that would allow Romney or Perry to run without an internicene fight on the right. Neither is electable because the things they have done wrong were not little boo boos, they were the sort of things that create permenant enemies and kill your carreer. Both of these guys are in the same position as Dole and McCain: people wont just stay home, they make a write in vote and convince their family and church members to do the same.
there is not one demorat out there that can beat Romney or Perry.

Don’t be too sure; for the following reasons:
1. Obama’s General Election warchest (since he has no Primary opponent) is predicted to be $1 Billion. You can wage quite a campaign with a billion dollars. Plus.....
2. Don’t forget the Union and Chicago-style thugs who will steal as many votes as possible. And his big Ace in the hole....
3. Grant Amnesty to as many Illegals as possible in time for them the register and vote.
Don’t count the Marxist Muslim out.
"I oppose a border fence",
"I oppose Arizona's law",
but I will allow illegal aliens to attend Tejas colleges at taxpayer-subsidized "in-state" rates...
Yep and that will surely keep others from entering illegally! /s
I like Herman Cain. Comparing him to Reagan is wrong. Reagan was a long shot in his 1966 campaign for Governor. He eventually smoked Pat Brown and won a second term by landslide numbers. In 1976 Reagan came within a whisker of beating a sitting US President for the nomination. In 1980, as the economy worsened Reagan kept marching on Carter and eventually won in a historic landslide in the general.
Cain is a good conservative traditionalist but has shown no equality to Reagan on electability factor. I do agree with you, if Romney somehow wins the nomination, there will be a third party candidate from the right. If Perry wins, which looks more likely then Willard, aside from the kook Ron Paul, no one will challenge him on a 3rd party anti-gop ticket.
Taking down Obama is job #1. Romney is not the conservative choice. Not now, not ever!
Here’s a clue: No Romney. Either P or VP.
Santorum is in the race right now. He could have more national name recognition as the race progresses. Or maybe not (I hope not for Huntsman).

Kasich was sort of "the Paul Ryan of the 1990's" in the House. And now he has executive experience as the governor of Ohio. Both of those count for something. Actually, they count for a lot.
While VP candidates don't have as much regional attraction as they used to, I'm not convinced that the whole "home state advantage" has completely gone away. I think it no longer transfers as much to neighboring state, but in the home state, the VP is a known quantity, and a good reputation there helps the ticket a lot in that one particular state.
Florida is important, but I think Obama has already lost Florida.
Both Ohio and Pennsylvannia are important, too. Depending on the whole "electoral votes awarded by congressional district" thing in Pennsylvania, it may become much less important, but Ohio is a big deal.
