Remember, 2nd place is the first loser. Here they go trying to choose our nominee for us, again. Remind me how that worked out last time, will ya? I'm surprised Governor Palin did so well, especially since she's been the target of every Democrat, RINO, TV show, Hollywood actor, comic, presstitute and lefty blogger since Senator Mccain announced her as his running mate. When was the last time any of them attacked Governor Mitt Romney? What's the old WWII saying about "the flak being heaviest over the target" or whatnot?!

James Carville (DNC): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing. Romney is an ascendant guy."

The more I live with Obozo the better losers like Mitt Romney sound. He pretty much sucks but I’d take him in a heartbeat today.

“Here they go trying to choose our nominee for us, again.”

In ‘08, we did a pretty good job ourselves of neutralizing the GOP candidate with the greatest chance of victory: RG.

Here they go trying to choose our nominee for us, again.

Not a moment to waste. It's almost painful, the transparency.

[raptor29]

Except that Romney won’t sniff a chance in the Republican primaries, so why even run the poll..............?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Meaningless poll designed to distact the people from the destruction the illegal Zero administration is causing.

[EGPWS]

I would think about now a dog could beat Obama.

Sarah 2012

[truthandlife]

Wow, Palin hasn’t even announced yet and she is only 6 points behind? Interesting.

Mitt ins 2012 is our Dole and McCain. The Dems would love to see him win the nomination because they know the Republicans voters stay home and Dems win big.

This article conveniently leaves out a little gem from the Rasmussen report (earlier thread on FR) that's the elephant in the room for the GOP:

32% of Republicans polled said that if Palin is not the nominee, she should run as an independent.

Beltway GOP, you've got a problem.

[svcw]

Not this again.

Romney will never be the Republican nominee.

He is a liberal, look at his political record.

Tweedledee vs Tweedledum. Who cares? Not me.

Palin would be my choice. She was the only thing good about 2008, but I don’t think she or Romney will be good POTUS candidates.

Will see if Jindal can pull it together, but I’m not liking the crop of GOP potential candidates at the moment.

Definitley no Reagans out there that I can see, unless Fred can muster up some energy somehow.

[duckman]

No Mitt no Huck, no Newt, no Bush’s.

[euram]

Without much effort, and with all the 24/7 carpet bombing of her, Sarah Palin is only a few points behind 0bama? I’d say that’s pretty good. She may even be even with him, Margin of Error 3 points would give her 45 and him 45. Another way of looking at it.

Once Palin is free to travel, speak her mind, and write, her numbers will climb. You can bet that her book will hit #1 on the best sellers list as well.

Come 2012, Romney, Huckabee, Pawlenty, Gingrich, Daniels, whoever, won’t even be speedbumps in Palin’s way. Speedbumps implying slowing something down, what they will be is roadkill on the Palin Highway.

Whoever decides to run for president on the GOP side will have to be someone with a wealth of economic leadership. The economy is going to be the number one issue for the next couple of years. Of course, foreign affair could take central stage if some catastrophe occurs. I can imagine some previous GITMO detainee exploding a dirty bomb in New York City. That would definitely change the direction of the race.

[AFPhys]

This is very early for the sitting president to be losing to any named candidate.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is encouraging, but Mitt Romney is an uninspiring choice.

[tndarlin]

Who in the world is pushing Mitt? If you cannot win against John McCain, do not come back around!

[Captain Peter Blood]

Like many of you I have had it with the Republican Party. Regardless of the naysayers I do think a new Party, “The Conservative Party” is what we need, but I see that it may never happen.
The only Republican on the scene right now fighting that I would support for president if he ran would be Senator Jim DeMint.
I am not voting for any more RINO’s including but not limited to Mitt Romney, who for what it's worth is as Liberal as Obama on some issues that would include Health Care.
Bush and the Republican Congress had their Golden opportunity to practice what they had been preaching and they blew it big time and flushed their credibility down the toilet.
