Poll: Sarah Palin remains threat to Mitt Romney in potential GOP 2012 race
The Boston Herald ^ | 2009-07-08 | Dave Wedge

Former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney is locked in a statistical dead heat with Sarah Palin for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, despite the Alaska governor’s abrupt resignation last week, according to a new poll of Republican voters.

Romney leads all Republican presidential contenders, garnering 25 percent of the vote, edging out Palin (24 percent), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (22) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (14 percent) in the Rasmussen poll released yesterday.

I continually am astounded as potential 2012 candidates are jammed up our patouii as contenders. Who wants to consider the also rans who stepped on their collective cranks during the last primary season. Please let us have some new blood that are true conservatives not also ran retread democrat/socialists/RINOs etc.

Lets have some fresh young blood that aren't multimillionaires - please.

Attractive women are the hallmark of the conservative side of the political aisle. We have the beautiful women, the Leftists have the clock stopping, mirror beaking, ugly ones.

It’s the outward reflection of what goes on in the hearts and minds of each.

>>>Being as this is freerepublic, part of our stated mission is to stop the phony Mitt Romney.<<<
—Call him out on his liberalism as needed, but we shouldn't bemoan the MSM’s guttural attacks on decent Republican people when we act no better. I love Sarah, respect Mitt, think Jindal is a future star. I would sleep better with any of them in the White House. I won't stoop to reckless character assassination to place one above the other.

Here is my take.

Just as Michelle told us all that we need to accept Barack was going to be the next president, last August.

Mitt needs to accept that he will not be getting any votes that result in his ascension to the Presidency. He is to weak on Abortion, Weak on Healthcare, Globull Whining and The Budget.

In short, he is just not what his target audience wants. That's all there is to it.

If he wants to be anything he should support Sarah Palin in her efforts and consider a VP slot. Although, I don't he is keen to accept being #2 and that is his personal problem.

For my part, I can election after election, losing to the other side while chipping away at their advantage; The Senate and the Congress.

Once we separate the Wheat from Chaff in those areas the Presidency will become subordinate to our wishes as he has no Constitutional Authority to do anything other than giving us a sick version of Russia. Mainly, those ridiculous and unconstitutional Czars and Czarinas.

Czars and Czarinas are how they subordinating the Constitution as they unanswerable to anyone but the Present. A strategy needs to be developed that will ensure those positions are eliminated and all authority is then placed properly back in the Senate and the Congress who have Constitutional responsibility for oversight.

As it is, they are enjoying being on vacation from responsibility and oversight while claiming immunity because they do not control what these self serving Czars and Czarinas are doing.

Talk to JR about.

If there is anyone here who doesn’t understand why we cannot support a slick socialist politician like Mitt Romney, God help you, but you’re on the wrong website. We went through this with the abortionist, gay rights activist, illegal alien supporting, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani until someone created another website call WAnkers for Rudy and they all flew the coop. Hopefully, before too much FReeper blood is shed, someone will create a WAnkers for Romney site and we can be left to fight the good fight as we see fit!
FR is not for everyone!

“I would vote for Obama over Romney.”

I don’t know if I would go that far, but I would vote 3rd party for the first time in my life.

Mitt and his Romney Butts can go fudge themselves.

He’s gloved up and looks eager to start fudgepacking.

The daily Palin versus Romney piss fest. Let's sink both candidates and keep it up until the date Obama is re-elected.

Sadly, you are right. That could happen. I am hoping Romney and Palin join ranks at this point to save us all from ourselves. We need to unite early to defeat Obama in 2012. I can't imagine our country surviving 8 years of him. Look at what's happened in 6 months. Hope&Change you can believe in. Not.

I wonder why no one seems to be concerned with the rest of 2009, 2010, 2011 if we are not careful we will be part of the New World Order a Global Economy and US elections will be a thing of the past.....

More concerned about the here and now which is in serious trouble...

I notice that you won’t answer the question. You are for homosexual marriage as well, you are far to the left even for being a Romney supporter

You think abortion is important enough to put on your homepage.

“im an old school live and let live republican. small govt. strong defense, stay out of my bedroom, doctors office and wallet!!!”

“All you pro lifers who love Chris Smith, well here you go. You love to call us social moderates, ie, those who could give a you know what about abortion, prayer in school, gay rights, etc. RINOS

Chris Smith is a RINO. This is the stuff that counts. Free markets, free enterprise, freedom in general. Wake up people.”
WOW... i was afraid to say this but now that someone else has...BELIEVE IT! social issues are worth nothing w/o frre markets.
