Mitt Romney has consistently remained a front-runner all year long. Herman Cain’s polling burst looks like it might be descending, while Newt Gingrich’s ascends. Is there room for anyone else at the top? Iowa caucus goers seem to think so, at least in one new poll for Bloomberg News:
Sweet! It would be really good news if Romney finished 4th or 5th in Iowa. It would knock a lot of the luster off his PR imagine in the later states.
It's not been the same since Michelle Malkin sold it :(
Hate to say it but I think we’re headed for a brokered convention........
Ron Paul isn’t going to place better than third.
He always polls like this then falls flat, because potheads don’t turn out to vote.
Romney has not been the constant front runner, he has however been at 20-22% the whole time. Everyone else is bouncing around him.
Paul’s numbers are just, not in reality (unfortunately, like most of his supporters).
No this is not at all good news for Romney. Most of Romney’s support is soft. His people back him “because he can win”. If he starts looking like a loser, they are going to bail
Paul’s campaign has always been strong in caucuses and straw polls because they have that hard core of fanatic supporters. What the Paulestinians lack in numbers, they make up for in fervency. But fervency doesn’t work once you get to primary states.

RE: Sadly, Hot Air has become....hot air.
They’re just citing a Bloomberg News Poll, that’s all.
If either Ron Paul or Mitt Romney win Iowa, it’s over, Romney gets the nomination. This is not good news. The only glimmer of light is that, the way the caucases are set up, being the 2nd choice is also important and I don’t think Paul is anyone’s 2nd choice.
Are you sure Ms. Malkin sold it?
I actually think a brokered convention is the best result. Whoever comes out of it will have to unite support around them and we will have a unified candidate.
“that Michele Bachmann had thought she owned”
MSM tripe.
If the MSM and their collaborators in the GOP succeed in destroying Cain the way they did Palin and Bachmann, I’d probably vote for Paul ahead of Romney or Gingrich. Just so no one confuses me for a Pauliban, I think he’d be a miserable POTUS but really no more so than Mittens or Newt, and if the other side wants to play dirty, so can I.
[asbestos suit ON]
Cue the flames and exploding heads.
Plus a lot of folks consider Romney to be a RINO.
“Bloomberg makes sure to point out in its report that it used the same polling firm as the Des Moines Register” so THAT’s why I smell BS in the “poll”!
Forget Iowa.
They chose Bachmann in the straw poll. They gave it to Huckabilly last time. Please....
They’ll get their 15 minutes of fame and then we’ll all move on to the primaries...
Yawn
Ig there is a “brokered convention” then THAT WILL spell the END of the Republican Party!
ah Because he is. Romney is a liberal - period.
