Not a huge deal since, according to his spokesman, he’s more inclined to challenge Menendez for New Jersey’s Senate seat in 2012 than run for prez, but it’s still worth flagging given the running debate we’ve been having about third parties. Just think of me as Groundskeeper Willie. I warned ye. Didn’t I warn ye?
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that if the choice is between President Obama, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Dobbs, Obama leads 42% to 34% with Dobbs pulling 14% of the vote.
With Mike Huckabee as the Republican nominee, Obama leads 42% to 36%, with Dobbs at 12%.
If Sarah Palin is the GOP nominee, it’s Obama 44%, Palin 37% and Dobbs 12%…
With Dobbs out of the equation, Obama and Romney are tied at 44%, Obama leads Huckabee 45% to 41%, and the president leads Palin 46% to 43%.

By the time the book tour is over, she should be much better off than she is even now. Many women will support her if they decide she was “trashed” last time around.
Gawd...only after taking a pill!
Awhile back I read that several states were considering enacting a law that would require all canidates to show proof of natural’’ born status to get on that states’ ballot. If 0’b continues to stall, what then??
I've been pushing this theory on FR for months.

Palin or Bust. We don’t want another Bush type leader in office. We want a reformer who will go in and actually balance the budget!
Silly, speculative polls three years out. Better concentrate on 2010.
It’s how Clinton won. I hope Dobbs has more class than Perot.
We should all remember that 1980 was a three way race.
When Reagan defeated George HW Bush and John Anderson in the primaries, John Anderson (liberal R congressman IL) went 3rd party and ran as an independent. His effective intent was to give a candidate for liberal Republicans to vote for in hopes of derailing Reagan.
I had hoped Reagan would have chosen to run with Jack Kemp or even Phil Crane (also ran but faded early in the primary race in 1980. Conservative Congressman also from IL), but I think Reagn's choice of Bush was in part to derail Anderson's attempt with a "moderate" (Rockefeller wing) running mate.
This poll means nothing.

I doubt people will be voting for him once they find out Lou is just another showbiz man.
