PRESIDENTIAL TRIAL HEATS: WHO'S WEAKEST FOR G.O.P?

Townhall ^ | 1/13/08 | Michael Medved

I second your comment.

I think the whole Presidential field of candidates is pretty lame if not scarily bad or disastrous.

In this whole country of almost 300 million people, don’t we have more people qualified to run than this circus of so so’s?

Menance Kookyspinich? Why wasn’t he laughed out of the race a million years ago? Where did he ever get the weird that he could actually be President? Jon Carry? Al Bore?

Geeesh. Fred Thompson seems like one of the few real people running, and he ain’t gonna make it.

I’m depressed for our future and the future of Western civilization.

"They are all pretty weak."

Okay, what is your solution to that problem?

[Brilliant]

Vote for a weak candidate.

Some of us have been saying this for a long time. He would be our John Kerry. Too many things to nail him on in his record of flip-flops.

New Zealand is nice too.

I would not only say 'don't believe the polls' but the sheer and utter timing of the poll matters a ton.

The whole entire primary is wide open and as you can tell by post on FR everyone has their own guy.

To say the Republican party is fractured is an understatement. Republicans are hard headed enough to doggedly promote their guy and their guy only---but once that gets weeded out people are going to have to make a choice one way or another.

I believe that the fact they have done this poll dead in the middle of the primary makes it utterly useless in determining anything other than propaganda.

Hillary Clinton actually beats Barack Obama right now in the polls.

Oh wait, you say, that’s not fair, because she’s a democrat.

Yep. So McCain polls better in the general election against a left-wing opponent than a conservative does? It makes sense, he gets a lot of independents saying they will vote for him.

I’ll admit that — McCain polls very well in general election matchups. Question is, do we settle for McCain because he wins easily, or do we push a conservative and do the work to win by a percentage point.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Did they even include Thompson on this poll? I know the Survey USA folks have not been doing side-by-sides with Thompson for a month or two now.

I guess this makes Medved happy.

CNN released ......blah, blah, blah. No point in reading any further.

They could report a universally known truth and it wouldn’t matter.

They have absolutely NO credibility, none, zero, zip.

I think I’ll go watch a movie....

On Medved’s show the other day he had Lanny Davis. Lanny said McCain would do the best against a dem. He said Rudy would do the worst. Why? Because Rudy is “mean spirited. This tells me the dems fear Rudy the worst. I personally know several moderate democrats who say they would vote for him over Hillary or Obama. I’m disappointed in Michael. Except for his giving credence to the TWA flt 800 conspiracy I’ve always respected his opinions and have admired his vast knowledge on so many subjects.

The unmistakable message from this national exercise (surveying 840 voters on January 9 and 10th) is that Mitt Romney unequivocally qualifies as the weakest candidate the G.O.P. could field.

When are the Mitt Wit's going to comprehend that fact?

[apocalypto]

Lanny Davis would want John McCain to win. Talk about somebody mean spirited, it’s McCain. Remember how he called us racist because we called and emailed Washington re illegal aliens? In one debate I saw, his nasty self came out but in the next one he seemed to have taken his meds.

[deport]

CNN? Not a legitimate pollster.

You got that correct.... But Opinion Research Corporation is.

Pure unadulterated bs!

[Lily4Jesus]

It’s pure ignorance. Mormons are the most decent, hard working, dedicated, workers and Romney will be a very very good president. As I Christian, I don’t agree with his theology but nor do I agree other Christians, so let’s leave that for the Lord to judge.

[doc1019]

So, you would be OK with a fundamentalist Muslim running for president of the US? For the most part, at least in the US, they are hard working, dedicated workers.

[originalbuckeye]

I have listened to Medved for several years and have been really disappointed in him of late. His mean-spiritedness toward Romney is just about more than I can take. I haven’t yet made a decision on the primary on the 5th but Medved’s snide nastiness doesn’t help me. I find Huckabee smarmy and phony but Medved seems to like him. What am I missing?

the polsters of course were homosexual nazis in favor of open borders.
