The reason I site the FR poll is because, people at FR tend to be better informed, more active and more likely to contribute financially then the average 'likely to vote' crowd.

With so much time before the primaries, I'd much rather be the conservative darkhorse candidate with a lot of passionate supporters, like the ones you're finding here at FreeRepublic, than a liberal/moderate who has been endorsed by the MSM and has the early lead in the national polls.

Many out there that are paying attention and are informed this early, maybe not because they are seeking out the information but daily you can read it in the newspapers, see it on TV or here on the internet. I'm usre you like me have friends or family who don't follow the primary races as closely as we do, but they aren't all that ill informed.

There is lots of time before the primaries and anything can happen. Now, is the time for discussion of the candidates, all of them. I don't think any should be discounted.

FR polls are fun, and they measure our own sentiments. But if they reflected political reality, no matter how smart we think we are, the poll results here would be different.
