From the website:

The Political Derby Composite Poll is a tool that takes the most recent major polls and weights their results based on poll age, sample type, and margin of error each day using a proprietary formula. Unlike other poll compilations, this is not a simple average. The polls that make up the PD Composite are well-known reputable national polls who sample “likely primary voters” and “registered voters”, as opposed to only “adults, including, but not limited to: NBC News/Wall Street Journal, Pew Research, Quinnipiac University, and Rasmussen Reports. The Composite Poll is a significant factor in determining the Power Rankings.

The PD Composite will be updated in a regular post that will run at least weekly, or more often if new polling data changes results significantly

Anybody but Romney is good. All the others are fine candidates and better than the current occupant.

Interesting that Romney is actually going down for the first time in a long time. I got a call from the RNC yesterday asking me to support them again this year. I responded that I would give no money until Romney was out of the running. I would give no money to any party that would support someone like him.

Cain blew it. He came through the bimbo eruption with flying colors. The race was his to lose, and he snarfed it on foreign policy questions. It wasn't that he had a single fumble, but that he didn't get any right on the first try.

My problem with Newt is the opposite of Cain. He is great on foreign policy, but I have problems with the women in his past. Specifically Nancy Pelosi and Dede Scozzafava. How many times does this guy have to stab conservatives in the back before they realize he can't be trusted.

There is nobody left that I like. I could vote for Cain or Newt. If its Romney I'm only voting for down ticket races and giving my money directly to candidates I support and ignoring the party. Heck I'm from Illinois so my presidential vote doesn't count anyway. But if enough people close their wallets to the Romney backing party elite they might get the message.

Here’s a prediction: Cain will surge back ahead and Newt will drop sharply after the amnesty comments last night. These guys just don’t get it.

Newt’s stance on immigration and the lie of man made global warming should be enough to disqualify him.

Herman Cain is our only chance to win the White House.
