Showing up and working your tail off seems to work. Who'da thunk it?

McCain’s polling ahead of Fred eh? Wow the top three candidates are rino’s. I can’t believe that this will stand in SC. Although President Bush is a rino and he turned his first presidential campaign around there so who knows.

20%? Not exactly an overwhelming endorement. Undecided is only two points behind and closing.

When Romney bought this poll did they let him pick which RAT to show leading too?

[org.whodat]

See a poll buy a poll !! LOL

[Diogenesis]

Romney: fake republican. fake positions. fake troopers. fake badges. fake polls. .....

Romney will do for the GOP nationally, exactly what he did in Massachusetts.

This is the absolute must win (some say by a large margin) if Fred wants to gain any momentum.
Mitt seems to have the early 3 just about sewn up. With Rudy expected to perform so well on Super Tuesday, I think SC is the must win for Fred.
Rasmussen also has Fred slipping badly in Florida, with Mitt gaining.

I still will be surprised if Thompson doesn’t end up winning the state.

[Beagle8U]

I agree!

[Antoninus]

Another Romney push-poll, eh?

I'm amazed that ANYONE puts the least bit of credence in these phony exercises in mass brain-washing.

Ignore the polls! Support the candidate who best mirrors your own values.

For me, that's Duncan Hunter.

I’m glad to see Mitt pull ahead. I don’t dislike anyone else running in as much as they underwhelm me. Whoever the nominee is in November will get my support simply because any of these guys is better than any of the potential Democrat nominees, in my opinion. Right now, however, I’m behind Mitt 100%!

I just wish everyone would quit tearing down Mitt and others just to build their guy up...No one is going to agree with any candidate 100% of the time.

Anyway, my two cents, adjusted for inflation -.50 cents worth. :)

[Signalman]

Mitt is now ahead in IA, NH, SC and I believe MI. I see a trend developing here.

To quote a Warner Brothers cartoon “Mmmmmm, its a possibility!” ;-)

Willard will do for conservatism nationwide exactly what
Schwarzenegger did for conservatism in California:

The Michigan primary is DOA, not happening.

[redgirlinabluestate]

The possibility is looking good.

Articulate, Conservative, Squeaky Clean, Outsider, with Loads of Experience and Charm (Mitt Romney)

vs.

Dishonest, Socialist, Sleaze Machine, Beltway Insider with NO Experience, HEAVY Baggage and NO Charm (Hillary Clinton).

I LOVE our chances!

Bring. Hillary. on!

5.66% margin of error, eh? With the margin that large, it is actually a four way tie for first place, though it is at the edge of the range of error. I have to hope people are smarter than this.
