RICE - Conservative website poll
Hughhewitt.com ^ | 11/05 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 11/28/2005 4:50:01 PM PST by spintreebob

Below is the cumulative poll results from a dozen CONSERVATIVE websites mostly visited by conservatives and by conservatives who are interested enough in conservative politics that they go to conservative web sites and participate in those web sites. That they are conservative is evident by the 88% to 95% hard conservative positions on issues... Nov ANWR and lack of backbone in US Senate.

Rice . . . 4966 (38.6%)
Giuliani .1281 (10%)

Bush . . . 1112 (8.7%)
Cheney . . 1021 (7.9%)
Allen . . . 999 (7.8%)
Thompson . 720 (5.6%)
Gingrich . 678 (5.3%)
Romney . . .452 (3.5%)
McCain . . .359 (2.8%)
Tancredo . 299 (2.3%)
Undecided. 250 (1.9%)
Barbour . . 180 (1.4%)
Brownback .175 (1.4%)
Huckabee. .101 (0.8%)
Sanford . . 91 (0.7%)
Pawlenty. . 65 (0.5%)
Hagel . . . .60 (0.5%)
Frist . . . .24 (0.2%)
Pataki. . . .20 (0.2%)


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: 2008candidate; 2008election; allen; giuliani; rice
Big gap between 38% and 10%. November poll mid-Iraq, post-Katrina: was "leadership" the #1 issue that drove these results? My unscientific observations of IL conservatives are that RICE has always been #1 for 2008. Rudy has never been in the top 5 around here. #2 has always been "undecided". Tancredot gets 5% around here, not the 2.3% in that poll.

After her last trip through Israel I think a great deal less of Condi than I used to.

Cute poll, but it's toast once Mike Pence's campaign kicks into gear. Dare I say we've got, in Pence, a rock-hard conservative who'll kick every single arse in Washington to get things done and done right? He's already forced the Republican Party to turn around on major spending cuts all by his lonesome self. This, after party "bigwigs" gave him all kinds of Hell for pushing the cuts so publicly when all they wanted to do was spend spend spend.

I don't get it, I thought we were racists. I guess some of us didn't get the memo.

I would vote for Rice in a minute, even though we don't agree on every issue. She is smart, and frankly electing her would be like Clarence Thomas squared to the libs, and that would be sweet to watch.

NO OFFESE, but this is SO ridiculous so soon. For what it's worth, keep our powder dry for now. Too much will be changing in the months to come.

That's a pretty interesting site. It would be more interesting to know what types of algorithms they are using and how they are weighted. The mathmatics here are very interesting.

Pence is a beacon in the night amongst liberal REPUBS. The Repubs under the present "leadership" are toast. They are NOT CONSERVATIVES and have converted into big spending, pseudo-liberals who no longer support the Constitution and fight for nothing BUT VOTES.

Rice would be an affirmative action token candidate. Were she not black or female she wouldn't be thought of as being anywhere near the top of the ticket and lacks the charisma and background to be president. Leave tokenism to the dems.

Totally agree!! Anyone pushing Israel to give more land for
supposed peace isn't worthy for elected office, let alone
President.

I think she's well qualified, and not a token at all. But as mentinoned above, it's early and much can happen by 08, so we'll see what happens.

It's not random that the last sitting congressman elected to the WH was James Garfield in 1880.

"It's not random that the last sitting congressman elected to the WH was James Garfield in 1880."

The thing with Pence is that he gets people excited when he jumps into action. He's really come forward as an excellent candidate in my opinion. Thus far, I've yet to see anyone better from the Republican side of things. It's going to be Hillary vs whoever we bring to the table. Jeb and Cheney are not electable. Rice doesn't seem to get people fired up, though she commands respect. Pence, on the other hand, seems to win die-hard supporters whenever he gets noticed.

Want to look down on Democrats who have made first a Senator and then a Presidential candidate out of a law breaking, hysterical nobody who happened to have been married to a President.

Can't do that anymore as Republicans have now put on a pedestal a woman, who even if accomplished in other areas and not a law breaker, has done nothing in office to merit this attention.

Name her successes. Iraq? Iran? Korea? Russia? No

But, oh, yeah. Screwing Israel and finding virtue in Islam.

Help wanted. Position, President of the United States. Qualifications: Woman. African American a plus. Good fashion sense. Believes Saudis are our friends.

Rice is good to go.

Pathetic from both parties.

Don't get me wrong, Pence is a nice guy and a stand out in the Republican Study Group. But let's face it, he reminds me a bit of Alan Keyes. Everyone in the Party loves him until he has to run against a Real Democrat in an election.

Only then do you find out that he would lose an election for Mayor of Hiroshima to Paul Tibbets.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Pro-abortion and anti-Israel, for starters, leave me without any Rice on my plate.

I would never support Rice...if she does run, which I doubt, her true liberal views will be out of the closet. She is another Colin Powell. These polls are meaningless.
I would definitely support Pense!

Rice repeatedly takes herself out of the running. I have not heard her qualify it with "at this time" like a few others do.

I'd love Pence or Shadegg if they could get it. But it is even more difficult for a Congressman than a Senator.... and no Senator has done it since JFK. The inside track is to a governor or recent ex-gov.

In any case, I'm more focused on Illinois and Crook County. We might have a hard time getting a Republican on the ballot for governor. A political cross-dresser might win the GOP primary because the real Republicans are apparently too stupid to unite behind one candidate.

LOL. You have a good sense of humor, taking into account the current state of the IL GOP. Call it a gut feeling, but I sense a GOP Governor could have a decent shot at being the nominee. I'm going to say who, because I don't know if the prospect excites me or not, yet. Plus, it's too early. But it's getting close to crunch time for someone to step forward and start building their machine for the early primary states.
