realclearpolitics ^ | June 2nd, 2009 | Tom Bevan

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."

And Sarah Palin doesn’t have Huck’s TV show nor Romney’s wealth...just wait until her rallies start—THOSE will tell the tale!

I’m not a huge fan of Romeny’s but will take him over the others at this point. IMO, Palin needs to go to the Senate. Unless someone else comes along, I’d like to Giuliani run. He has balls, will attack back and would actually get something done.

This is getting ridiculous starting the next presidential campaign so early. Stop the madness.

If she goes to the Senate and becomes one of “them” she loses 75% of her appeal to me.

A barf alert should always precede the posting of that dreadful family photo.

Huckster? don’t think so. He demonstrated his low class status by staying in the race as a mere vote splitter.
