Mitt Romney Is the 2016 Republican Front-Runner

[Leaning Right]

Mitt Romney leads the Republican field among New Hampshire primary voters for 2016. Yes, you read that right.

[Leaning Right]

According to the polling firm Purple Strategies, a recent survey of New Hampshire voters has Romney in the lead for 2016 with 25% support. Rand Paul comes in second with 18% support.

That's puzzling, and depressing. There is something seriously wrong with 25% of the GOP voters in New Hampshire.

[FreeReign]

The polling company's name is Purple Strategies.

LOL.

[cdcdawg]

And this will continue to be a problem for as long as the first primary is held in the Northeast. That said, I think either Christie or Bush can still overtake Romney. Woohoo.

[Tennessee Nana]

Was Governor Sarah Palin in that poll ???

[sickoflibs]

He is their neighbor, TX is far away from NH.

[silverleaf]

No

All the Mormon, corporate and personal money in the world can’t buy this guy the presidency

been there, tried that

[traderrob6]

It’s name recognition, nothing more.

[Bringbackthedraft]

LOL, this gotta be satire or has the Republican party finally put a gun to it’s head and pulled the trigger?

“Purple Strategies”

The name Purple Strategies reflects the company’s bipartisan blend of strategists from both “blue” and “red” political backgrounds.

Of course they would seek moderates to field as the GOP contender.

Another poll has Huckabee as the new leader.

Want a leader? Commission a poll and they can write it to get the desired results.

It is way to early to be calling ‘frontrunners’ for 2016. Recall that 2012 had about a half-dozen different ‘frontrunners’ in the spring: Bachmann, Trump, Perry, Cain, Santorum, Gingrich, and Romney.

So many bandwagons crashed that people got splinters.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

NO.

[McGruff]

If New Hampshire wants Mitt Romney they can keep him. Period!

[Vaquero]

The polling company's name is Purple Strategies.
LOL.

Makes mittens the gay candidate.

[Psalm 144]

Twice.

[a fool in paradise]

"Go on, tell me another funny story!"

[JimSEA]

Hopefully Romney won’t have any more luck than Harold Stassen did.

[Red Badger]

The LSM is trying to pick the candidates .......... again..................

[TomGuy]

Yeah.

He sort of did himself in right after the election when he claimed he really didn’t want to run and he really didn’t want to be president.

Remember: He is the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama, and he is the guy who lost to Obama. That sort of stinks on a resumé.

Has either political party ever sent the same nominee into the general election twice?

[Psalm 73]

"That's puzzling, and depressing."

Don't worry - there won't BE Presidential elections in 2016 anyway......

[Gaffer]

Another prime reason New Hampshire should be BANNED from the early GOP voting roster. Negligence, irresponsibility and a serious case of the dumb asses.
