Rand Paul 2016!

[HiTech RedNeck]

HUCK? Where’d he come from?

[Paladin2]

Enough with the Horse Race already....

[Celtic Conservative]

Huckabee is a nice guy. That said, the last thing we need as president is a “nice guy”.

Where is Palin in this poll?

(just wondering)

[tet68]

Where do they get this stuff?

Palin/Cruz....Cruz/Palin 2016 !

[C210N]

Based on this pushpoll, looks to me like Newsmax doesn’t like Cruz, and is in favor of amnesty.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Talk about the two extremes: the hero of libertarian wing and the biggest statist in the GOP field.

[GeronL]

13% is leading?

none of the above won again?

[PapaNew]

THE issue of our time is the $4 TRILLION FEDERAL GOVERNMENT which threatens to destroy our freedoms and our country. It is head and shoulders above every other issue. Rand doesn't seem to have any problem nuking big government whereas others seem to have their reservations. Rand also has a clear non-popular-culture understanding of the obvious alternative to government, the FREE MARKET ECONOMY. It's not complicated - it's either government tyranny or freedom. Why do so many not get it?

Rand is also reconsidering his weakest issue: defense. Putin's actions may be helping him along those lines. For Rand to viable, he's GOT to get more animated and communicative in his speaking style: Rand, learn to talk to the American People like you're talking to a good friend in your living room.

So far Rand looks like the best of the bunch.

A poll 2 years out is meaningless. It may as well have Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and Snuffolufogus.

[trisham]

No. Absolutely not.

[celmak]

Both are non-starters.

[Durbin]

Why is Huckabee always at the top of the list?

[lucky american]

Do not let the media choose our candidate.
Huckabee, Christie and Ryan aren’t even close.

[Colonel_Flagg]

The key to this story comes after the excerpt.

Chris Wilson, CEO of WPA Opinion Research, which conducted the survey, said the poll suggests Republicans haven't learned the lessons of elections past, according to The Washington Times.

"Christie is clearly not the first choice among GOP voters overall, but when you look at which candidate Republicans believe can beat Hillary Clinton there is evidence that the theory a moderate Republican can beat a liberal Democrat still holds some sway," Wilson said. "It’s a shame some Republicans haven’t learned the lessons of nominating moderate candidates like Bob Dole, John McCain, or Mitt Romney."

Was this a poll of some kind of weird libertarian/evangelical church somewhere?

[LaybackLenny]

"Huckabee and Paul each won support from 13 percent of likely Republican voters when asked whom they would vote for if the 2016 Republican primary were held today. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was close behind with 11 percent..."

Wow. That's enough to make me swallow my anti-depressant meds with a bottle of Maker's Mark.

[Theodore R.]

11 percent for Jebbie means he wins the nomination, and George P. can take leave as land commissioener to work in the campaign.
