What I don’t get is why Ted Cruz isn’t in the top two or three.

Not many know him. And the media has made a mockery of him calling him the crazy uncle or something like that. He was palinized.....the media sucks. He may be able to rise above it but I am sure it won’t be easy. But nothing in life that is worthwhile is easy.
Cruz is not campaigning yet. All the news is about Walker and so far Walker is playing the media like a Strad.
He’s never governed. And so is untested. Senators seldom win the Presidency, so there is lot going against him, without any hit pieces from the media.
It’s cool. One or two debates and Cruz And his wife will be picking out curtains for the Oval Office. Don’t need to be a target and peak too soon. This is just getting in gear. Jeb should be worried, he has no base and the GopE whiners I hear pushing him are sounding absolutely desperate to the point of it becomming comedy IMHO. Just wait until full Bush derangement syndrome kicks in...
He hasn’t announced. It doesn’t matter right now. He will likely have his chance at the top. It is a game of King of the Hill. What matters is who is on top of the hill in 11 months.
For most of his national career, Cruz has been (a) a minority party senator who (b) spends a lot of time making rousing and truthful speeches, but strictly in front of very friendly audiences.
(B) makes him very popular in places like FR. But it doesn't show that he can take on the Democrats in their houses and beat them, as Walker has.
I like Cruz a lot and if he is the nominee, I'll support him completely. But at this point he hasn't shown me that he can win any states that Romney didn't. Our kind of conservatism is a minority taste these days.
I'm on Cruz control and he is the only about to be candidate that I've donated to at this time.
Walker is increasing in support because he is getting a ton of negative press, and the conservatives are rallying behind him.
Don't panic, it's very early in the cycle; when the debates begin in the summer, our guy will shine.
How Rubio and Paul are above him is beyond me. One thing though, it's early, no debates yet, no upcoming primaries. Polls this early are a bit ridiculous, heck during the primaries last time they went all over the map for the first two months.
One thing that is very good: Jeb is the only one who has gotten tons of attention from the MSM as the "front runner", plus he is the GOPe candidate. That shows just how bad a candidate he is, with all the positive and good press, he's barely in second. I think that's the best news of the day, and we can have a mini celebration over this poll. He's far from any kind of front runner, has no real support.
