Conservative activists on Saturday named former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney the winner of a poll for best 2012 GOP presidential candidate.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won 20 percent of the vote in straw poll for presidential favorites.
The poll marked the third consecutive year Romney came out on top
Drag a dollar fitty through the peanut gallery of CPAC and there’s no telling how it’ll turn out.
Romney still seems like a RINO to me. I just can’t trust a Republican from Taxachusettes.
*ping*
Come on and join in on the laughs.
My left nostril is more conservative than Mitt but I’m not picking it either....
We lose yet again.
Well, he’s better educated than Mitt. He’s handled more money than Mitt. Made life and death decisions. He doesn’t drip huge lake size puddles of desperation like Mitt.
Still, I’d like to see him run for sheriff once. (I’ll give politicians a bit of due there)
Well, my overall opinion of CPAC certainly has withered!
Actually, I don’t hate Romney as many as some, and I certainly have no problem with his Mormon faith. But, dang. He has a sort of plastic ‘politician’ quality about him, which is something I find rather gagging. I have this ingrained suspicion that were he to get into office, he’d be a maddeningly establishment moderate, often making deals with the libs. I’ve been burned too many times, and something about him sends up warning flags.
Really, really don’t want to see Huckabee or Romney making the rounds all over again, four years from now. Brings back a lot of horrible memories of the past election year! The only figure escaping that dark time is Palin, who seemed like the sole source of bright light. I’ll always welcome her! Jindal, Sanford, Pence, and too.
YEAH!!!
I heard on a radio program last night that Bobby J. wouldn’t meet the eligibility requirements of our “former” Constitution.
Something about his parents not being citizens before he was born.
This does not surprise me. And not too surprised to see you on this thread either ;)
Looks like Palin is finished.
That may well be but in the 2007 CPAC poll McCain finished 5th or so behind Rommey only to come out on top in the 2008 primaries.
All eight votes of them. How’d Mitt peculiar anointing by the hardly read( even by conservatives ) National Review work out for him?
Mitt keeps shoe shinning the presumed power brokers. Pathetic. You would of thought he would of learned in South Carolina and New Hampshire.
I know the GOP, and, you’re correct, it doesn’t surprise me either. :-)
He can't be nominated or elected, and to believe he can requires living in an LDS bubble.
There, I said it.
Best choice...
Are you saying yeah to yourself again?
Indeed, they’ve reduced themselves to farce with that vote. A Socialist con-man being allowed to address a Conservative function is absurd. Why not invite the Clintons and the False Messiah ? Methinks they could just as easily gotten that same 20% of the vote since some people are easily swayed by the $$ and by slick, shiny packages with no substance. Shameful.
Love it!
