The leaders of the New Hampshire Republican Party have spoken, and they have given Mitt Romney the early presidential lead in the Granite State. In the first-of-its-kind straw poll of members of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, Romney drew 35% of the total vote. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) came in second with 11%.

The straw poll was conducted in Derry, NH and was sponsored by ABC News and WMUR-TV.

ABC News political director Amy Walter tweeted the results of the poll this afternoon:

Mitt Romney 35.14%

Ron Paul 10.51%

Tim Pawlenty 7.61%

Sarah Palin 6.88%

Michele Bachmann 5.07%

Romney may not be the most conservative of the group but he is something that Palin, Newt and company is not and that is ELECTABLE......

He IS?

Golly!

It didn't seem that way a couple of years ago!

This is an old cartoon - - now Romney will have to rebut himself on communist health care, too.
What a slimeball.

Not that I am a fan of Romney, I’m not, not by a long shot.

But is there some official FR policy against supporting him, ‘cause I missed it?

We will be stuck with him...I do not think Sarah will run this time...

You may be stuck with him, but I won't be. I will be looking for the most viable 3rd party candidate to support if (heaven forbid) Romney is the GOP nominee.

We'll see about that.

Experience has taught us that RINOs in Chief are worse than Democrats.

You want to try to elect a bum like Romney? Be my guest. I'll be working to make sure he's defeated.
