Rasmussen ^ | 2/16/12 | staff

Posted on 02/16/2012 9:36:15 AM PST by TexasFreeper2009

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum continues to ride his polling momentum into Ohio where he leads Mitt Romney by nearly two-to-one in the first Rasmussen Reports survey of Republicans in the state.

The new statewide telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters shows Santorum picking up 42% of the vote to Romney’s 24%. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich draws 13% support, while Texas Congressman Ron Paul picks up 10%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.

There is one reason Obama is president. Non-married women voters. He did not and will not get the votes of men or married women. Unless the unmarried women can see the light he will be hard to beat.

It is questionable whether the nation will survive women voters.

Hey super Tuesday voters. Aren’t you just a little upset that Romney and Santorum don’t have enough respect for you to complete the debate process and answer issues that might affect your state, such as Ohio? Basically what the dastardly duo is saying is, “why take a risk with a bad debate, and give Gingrich another shot “. So basically it isn’t about you or your needs but about votes and playing the game.

While I have always like Newt he has shot himself too many times in the foot to win the nomination. Rick went up against the Gay Mafia and it probably cost him the Senate seat. He is even more despised by the Left than Newt because he refuses to kow-tow to the fags AND he is an observant Catholic.

This is where the attacks will be concentrated not personal foibles and dumb comments. But I don’t think that will turn the typical American voter against him.

That reminds me,should I check and see if my Dad’s still on the voter rolls in Detroit? He passed away in 2010, wonder if he’s still listed or not.

I'm certain you will find out he already early voted.

Super Tuesday voters will not give a damn. Many will have already voted by the debate anyway and the rest could not care less about another CNN chance to snipe at the conservative.

There is more than ample reason for people to be fed up with Pres. Obama and yet these are the numbers. It’s very disheartening.

Look, recent polls aren't even able to accurately predict the results of primaries a couple days before the elections. Why are we giving any credence to polls 9 months out with candidates that are not locked in yet and that are within the margin of error? One of my biggest pet peeves is these GOP nominee vs. Obama polls. Worthless.

I am located in Central Ohio (30 miles NE of Columbus) and I have to agree with you.

No excitement for either one.

Sorry, but I don’t miss GWB. He paved the path for what we have now. And I don’t miss Dole either or the first Bush or Ford.

“Santorum does not stand up to the establishment, he stands with the establishment. He would never compromise his position on abortion, but anything else seems to be fair game.”

My guess is that a President Santorum will be a lot like Gerry Ford was. A nice guy, some gaffes, some wise moments, but pretty much a go-along-get-along guy insofar as dealing with the rest of the Republicans in Congress.

This isn’t to say I didn’t like Mr. Ford, and I will absolutely vote for Mr. Santorum if he’s on the ballot in November.

(Aside: actually, it won’t matter _who_ I vote for in November. I’m in Connecticut, which has toppled so far to the left that it will probably never elect a Republican to national-level office again.)

Ohio’s looking bad for Bambi, with the “gay” “marriage” initiative in November and Sherrod Brown’s emerging tax scandal.

No kidding. People should also be aware of the great thinkers of the world but they are oblivious.

Wonder how many Americans have ever read any of the Federalist Papers or even the constitution itself. My guess would be a small minority at best.

We’re already being barraged with negative ads against Santorum. Heard the first round on Monday, I think.

18% unemployment

Double the national debt in three years.

Loved by Chaves, Ortega and Castro, Hated by Sarkosy, Merkel and Cameron.

Presided over Muslim brotherhood takeover of Egypt.

He should loose to a can of orage juice, but the things that make him the greatest failure in American presidential history, will only boost his standing among the rabid left that control the media in this country. One thing’s for sure though, a candidate hated by conservatives almost as much as Obama has zero chance. So, we better hope Rick gets it and can win inspite of the slobbering Obama media.
