Being the author of a big gov't health program will do that to a person's ratings.

Romney’s favorables are zero with me, but then so are Huckabee’s. I dont intend to vote for either.

For the GOP to remain a viable party for conservatives the number needs to be below 10%.

Conservatives only. No more good cop/bad cop democrats and republicans.

Our government is NOT too big to fail.
Stop buying, working over time, building, and get out of debt instead. Starve the Washington beast, and take care of yourself first. We can survive without their money, but they can't survive without ours.

It will be interesting what the polls will show in mid December or January. That would be after Palin’s wildly successful book, all her interviews, and all the great local press she got on her book tour.

My prediction is that Mitt’s numbers will stagnate, or even continue to decline over the coming months, in large part due to Romneycare.

Everyone will start declaring their intention to run by March 2011, Palin will have had at least one huge bestseller, probably 2, by then, plus her proven ability to draw huge crowds everywhere she goes. That’s going to be a big psychological barrier that the others will have to try and overcome. We know that when Mitt campaigned in VA and NJ he drew tiny crowds of “dozens.” Huck drew 500 to his book signing in Birmingham yesterday, at the same place where there are close to 2000 waiting for Palin. She also drew about 4,500 at Ft. Bragg earlier today.

RINO Mitt Romney: “People will look back and see that I, Mitt Romney,
was the very first to impose death panels. Do you love me now, Ted?”

I bet Romney is the nominee in 12. He is the overwhelming favorite in CPAC polls.

>> Big caveat right off the bat: PPP is the same polling firm that predicted a Hoffman landslide in NY-23. <<

Oh, come on. Be fair to PPP. It was five points, and it was before Scuzzyfava withdrew and threw her support to Owens.

So Mitt’s “counting on the fact that New Hampshire will keep him alive in the early running and the “anyone but Huck/Palin” vote will put him over the top.”

I don’t think any conservatives, even those who aren’t for Palin or Huckabee, will ever consider voting for that liberal Romney. My guess is he’ll be canvasing all the hard core RINOs, DIABLOs, and dems in the open primary states.

My short list only has one person on it. And it’s not Romney or Huckabee. Though I do appreciate Huckabee sticking up for Sarah.

Good, the sooner we can dispense with Myth Romneycare, the better.

Romney wasn't a bad governor of Massachusetts. In fact, he was pretty decent for a Massachusetts politician. People in the state may even be starting to miss him.

But if a politician doesn't have a secure base it's hard to make a winning run at the nomination after losing it.

Politicians have a sell-by date. And if you don't actually hold office now and didn't hold one for very long, that date approaches quicker.

McCain was able to come back 8 years after losing the nomination and Nixon was able to win the presidency 8 years after losing it, but neither of those examples is encouraging.
