The fact that illinois is a blue state and that the winning answer to #4 is charisma, speaks volumes

[sanjacjake]

Edwards is toast already...Building his Castle with
millions, he got from the poor suckers in the Courts..
and is called on it...and he is for the little guy...Hires anti-religious nitwits and then didn't know??...you think
this guy leads? Yes, with his chin.

I like a President with spunk..and the more I see, the
bettr McCain looks......so there, you McCain haters... go
after the round doughnut...JK

[BunnySlippers]

Way to go, A51!

Why is Edwards so high on this poll?

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Here in Iowa, Romney ran his first ad today. All the other candidates have their organizations in place. If Newt announces in September, he can't put an organization in place fast enough to get his ticket punched.

McCain is trying to put his conservative face forward, but he keeps putting his foot in his mouth.

Meanwhile, one of my central committee compadres, a 26 year Marine Corps vet, is going stand up for Rudy cause he believes Rudy is the best guy to address Islamofascists.

Hell, at this rate the nomination could be decided by August.

According to this poll, I may only be voting in the primary.

Flunk geography? Was does Illinois have to with Iowa polls?

[B Knotts]

Is that a typo, or is this poll really from a month ago?

[BunnySlippers]

Well, this isn't your parent's primary no matter how old you are.

With the front loaded primaries we'll see a great acceleration in the process ... and a huge need for early money. I think the front runners at this point realize this.

I think we are going to see some surprises thia election as a result.

[Echo Talon]

Do you see President George W. Bush as a conservative Republican in the mode of Ronald Reagan?

NO! George W. Bush is MORE conservative... He got 2 conservative judges confirmed... he is 100%!
Ronald Reagan is only 50%...
So is George H.W. Bush...
