This means very little. If Sarah comes in a strong second in this state and first in other states, the primaries will be all but over.
BOHICA?
I do kinda hate the fact that by the time the primaries get to Texas the nominee has been chosen most times.
Mitt Romney, who created state-run healthcare in Massachussetts, is supposed to be different from Obama....how?
I posted this before when this was posteed earlier.
B*llsh!t poll... will not give us much in the way of internals but what they do say proves this is a manufactured poll... not a poll of republicans but of any home that holds a registered independent or republican... no random calling... hand picked phone numbers... no mention how many of each or whether they talked to the registered voter or a dope smoking teenager answering the phone.
Also see the data that they do give, does not jive with their own polling interpretations. The poll also references romney’s weaknesses and state that they are big negatives... This is why the debates will destroy 99% of all of these wannabes... willard will not survive reminding the voters of who and what he is... he is the MOST target rich candidate... plus the groups that they claim that support him the most are the very groups that despise him for all that he is and has done.
I went and searched for info on Magellan polling... the company that did this poll... surprise... it is owned and operated and funded by the RNC. The dims have attacked them as a republican party PR firm. These days... that means it is as big of an enemy propaganda machine as the media is for the dims. Here is a bit from daily kos:
“”Magellan Polls” a GOP Front for Bob Ehrlich Share14 1by justdafacts Wed Jul 07, 2010 at 10:27:56 PM PST
Magellan Strategies, the firm behind the “poll” claiming Bob Ehrlich leads Gov. OMalley, is not a legitimate pollster. In fact, they’re not pollsters at all.
Instead, they’re a Republican consulting firm on the payroll of the Republican National Committee and Americans for Prosperity that publishes polls tailor made to boost Republican candidates. Their tagline is,”Magellan Strategies Helping Republicans Win Elections.””
Nothing but a machine polling propaganda outlet, designed to push rinoid party hacks, inside the beltway, blue blood, limo riding, elitist, socialist repubic candidates! I also found that Flaherty has worked for romney... gee that is a surprise... his bio states that he is soley owned and operated by the RNC... how many of you believe anything out of the RNC? He is an RNC employee and liberal republican party hack elite!
“Despite her ballot position, Palin is very popular with Republican voters. 59% view her favorably while 31% have an unfavorable view of her. More Independents (50%) have a favorable view of her than and unfavorable view (41%). This data reflects Independent voters who say they are likely to vote in the Republican presidential primary.
Romney APPEARS popular with all subgroups of the Republican electorate. Large percentages of seniors (76%), social conservatives (76%) and fiscal conservatives (76%) hold favorable views of him. Romney has struggled with social issues, such as ABORTION, in the past and many conservative pundits have speculated that HIS HEALTH CARE PLAN in Massachusetts could cause PROBLEMS for him on the right. Nevertheless, Granite State Republicans are very comfortable with him as the presidential campaign season officially opens.
Huckbee and Pawlenty are also viewed substantially more favorably than not. Gingrich, Santorum and Barbour have relatively higher unfavorable ratings.
In a memo released about the survey, Magellan pollster David Flaherty stated, This survey is a very early measurement of the potential 2012 Republican Presidential primary field. Mitt Romneys strength is not surprising considering his close second place finish to John McCain in 2008 and his regional advantage of being a former border state Governor. Many political observers have commented on the late start of the 2012 Presidential primary campaign in comparison to the 2008 Presidential primary. We agree with this observation, and view the survey results as an uninformed snapshot of likely New Hampshire Republican Presidential primary voter opinion.
The survey was conducted on Tuesday, January 4th from 6:00 to 8:00pm using automated telephone calls to a sample of 1,451 voters randomly drawn from a New Hampshire voter file among households containing at least one registered Republican or independent voter. Independent voters were screened for their intention to vote in the 2012 Republican Presidential primary. The response data was weighted to reflect past Republican primary voting demographics from the 2008 Republican Presidential primary election. Three attempts were made to interview each household in the sample. This survey has a margin of error of 2.57% at the 95 percent confidence interval.”

Big deal,New Hampshire is too small to circumcise.
Let the real states like Texas determine the candidate.
I’m not saying I want NH nuked, daisycut, or anything like that, but I sure as Hell wish they would just go the eff away!
Uh, yeah.
We are letting a blue lib state have a huge impact on our nominee every time. Now I know why the media loves the New Hampshire thing. What a bunch of libs up there. How’d McCain work out for you New Hampshire?
I just read the numbers. Sarah is the best of the rest in NH. Sounds to me as though that is the story.
Okay, it’s the state next door. It’s an hour or so from his place to Nashua. He can pretty much campaign there at will when he’s in town. And he still can’t break fifty percent? Really, guys?
Yeah, right.
Second, want proof of the above and the fact
and evidence of the worthlessness of such polling?:
How much leverage does the RNC have on the candidate selection????
Will Michael Steele buck the establishment trend or become a whipping boy?
We don’t have a race yet, nor do we have any candidates. That said, it is New Hampshire.

Expect the MSM to get behind whichever Republican it thinks can be beaten. Nothing the MSM has anything to do with can be believed.
This means as much as Sen. Tsongas from Massachusetts winning NH in ‘92, or Bob Dole winning Iowa in ‘88.
And in other news, New Hampshire has been declared irrelevant, with its two Congressional seats and tiny, mostly commie-lib population.
