“IT’S A STRAW POLL! IT DOESN’T MEAN S4!T”

I strongly second that!

And a) Who the “F” cares what CNN thinks and b) Is this how it starts — the left deciding for us who our candidate is going to be in 2012.

Horsefeathers, we cannot let the left dictate who is going to run — we decide who we want to run.

Agreed, it doesn’t mean $hit.

But I’m afraid that it does raise questions... Why can’t the GOP get a “star” or at least someone with “star power”.

Isn’t there someone (new) who is willing to step up?

Sure it does! It shows very clearly that getting Obama elected hasn't taught a lot of voters anything. It shows that there are still lots and lots of voters with the attitude if they don't play my way then I'm taking my ball and going home. It shows clearly how an absolute zero like Obama can get elected to the most powerful office in the world. It shows that there aren't enough of us willing to play the game in such a way that we live to play again.

Here we are nearly four years from the next election and a simple straw poll brings out all the people who insist on a perfect candidate. Perfection is all they will settle for. Not good or better, but perfection. And when someone who is less qualified than the poorest candidate their Party could have fielded is elected by the other side they bitch and moan about where the country is going.

It shows that we'll probably suffer the same damn thing next election cycle. It's the party of the My Way or No Way voters. They want a five dollars, someone offers them three dollars and they settle for less than one dollar.

It's certainly there right and I have no qualms with those who consider it a badge of courage to take the dollar rather than settle for three with the hopes of getting more in the future.
