A new poll of the potential 2012 GOP primary field from CNN/Opinion Research Corp. shows a log jam of three candidates at the top. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, and current Alaska Governor Sarah Palin are in a statistical dead heat according to the survey conducted May 14-17 with a 4.5% margin of error:
Huckabee 22 Palin 21 Romney 21 Gingrich 13 Jeb Bush 6 Someone Else 10
In related news, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who announced today he would not be seeking a third term, dodged questions today about running in 2012 while adding that he believes the GOP needs "new ideas and new faces."

They clearly didn’t see his ‘what about me’ crybaby fits during the debates. Mr. ‘I raised taxes because children need roads’ is a charlatan in every way. His Christian Socialist agenda is the worst kind of religious grandstanding.
Those are the choices?
Shoot me now.
“FR took on Giuliani and FR will take on Mitt Romney this time.”
Barack Hussein Obama - President: 2009-2017
way ta go /rolls eyes
Do it yourself
yep
yep
Because I dislike cultists?
I think not.
She is a charismatic, natural born leader and vote getter, you don’t send someone like that to the senate.
The senate is where someone like Romney ends up and although he lost his previous try for a senate seat he can always try in some other state.
Contrary to popular perception Mitt Romney can become very passionate and eloquent when he really believes in something, here he is running for the senate and he is at his best.

yeah, I know
try tellin’ some of these knunkle draggers
The Jebbie 6 are the last of the true believers.
I think you do and you should when you are someone like that from an wildly under-populated state, like Alaska or Delaware. Plus, the Senate would give Palin the opportunity to build some credibility with respect to foreign affairs and maybe a few other areas.
Additionally, while incredibly popular with a rabid minority of supporters, she's toxic, at least for now, to the broader public. The Senate would be a place where she could build some goodwill and her intellectual bona fides with the public. Palin can bounce back from 2008, but she can't do it from Alaska.
It’s funny that you guys overlook that Mitt Romney did run for the nomination, he spent record amounts of money, he became an entirely different person and just as usual people didn’t vote for him.
I don’t know what it is about Romney but people don’t like him, maybe that is why his cult like followers are so angry all the time.
Here is Mitt Romney shining in debate in 2002.

Who are the Jebbie 6?
Voters could still blame Republicans for a bad economy as the lingering effects of bushism or for being seen as anti-Obama, not that many GOP “leaders” have spoken out at all. The GOP is excellent for bearing the blame of what it never did.
Probably the survivors of the old Ford campaign
The reality is that Mormonism is a cult.
Yeah she needs to go to the Senate just like Reagan and GWB did.
Oh, wait...

oh snap
Or maybe it's a cult.
