It's been a long time since there was an official FR poll on this subject, and I'd like to propose certain conditions:
1. Who would you vote for, given the current field?
A. Gilmore
B. Giuliani
C. Huckabee
D. Hunter
E. McCain
F. Paul
G. Romney
H. Tancredo
I. Fred Thompson
J. Tommy Thompson
2. Who would you vote for, knowing that Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich would be candidates?
A. Gilmore
B. Gingrich
C. Giuliani
D. Huckabee
E. Hunter
F. McCain
G. Paul
H. Romney
I. Tancredo
J. Fred Thompson
K. Tommy Thompson
3. Suppose it's after New Hampshire, and most of the lesser known candidates have dropped out. Who would you vote for? (PLEASE answer this one.)
A. Giuliani
B. McCain
C. Romney
D. Fred Thompson
Drats! I accidentally included Fred Thompson in Question One!
D, J, D.
Thompson/Tancredo 08
D, I, D
Oops - D, J, D...
It is way too early to say who you would vote for. I think I would vote to Fred Thompson, but lets see. I can speak better of who I would not vote for:
1. McCain, McCain-Feingold is enough for me and Senators don’t win the general so I don’t take them seriously in the primary. Also he is too old to win.
2. Rudy, he is just too shakey on judges for me.
3. Paul, a part time Libertarian who really seems not to be very Libertarian to me.
I can consider the rest, but many are bit players. I am taking a wait and see attitude about:
A. Fred Thompson who I think will be the nominee.
B. Mitt Romney who seems to be a decent candidate so far.
1st choice is Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter if Fred not in the mix.
D,E,C
Duncan Hunter.
The only Conservative candidate
The only candidate with National security & military background.
Only candidate with yrs of working and authoring bills to stop illegals ie Border fence
Vietnam war vet
His son starting is third tour in Iraq.
Yes, he’s got it all, except name recognition. We’ve got to get his name out there!
He’s everything you’ve mentioned, plus pro-life. And I believe he was responsible for the fence that is there, near San Diego, and for legislation to build the new fence (of which only 2 miles have been built so far).
Thompson/Hunter ‘08. Wade into them! Spill their guts!
D, E, Hunter
1. Hunter
2. Hunter
3. Thompson
Solid on ALL the issues....the rest are POSERS.
1. Hunter
2. Romney
3. Thompson
If Hunter doesn’t make it, then a toss-up between Romney and Thompson, if he does become a candidate, but I adopt a wait and see stance here, as Thompson hasn’t announced, and I want to hear more from him on issues.
I think Hunter will make a fine VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate. The man has no name recognition because he hasn’t done anything significant, yet. Running a government is a far cry from running a congressional office; even Senators make lousy candidates. Give him eight years as VP, and I’ll probably vote for him. In the meanwhile, do you have a second choice?
1-D, 2-J, 3-D.
Hunter, Hunter, and fuming, pissed off (as usual), and grudgingly, Fred.
1) Paul
2) Paul
3) I would rather crawl through a mile of cut glass than to vote for those four.
