Rick Perry has taken the lead in the Republican presidential sweepstakes, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday, but the survey also shows that the fiery Texas governor may have a tougher time against President Obama than the other leading GOP aspirant, Mitt Romney.

According the poll, Perry is preferred by Republicans over former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, 24% to 18%, similar to the findings of other major nonpartisan polls that show Perry taking over the top spot from Romney. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who has yet to declare her intentions, was at 11%, a statistical dead heat with Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann at 10% and Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 9%.

What a bunch of horse manure. Mitt only does as well as he does because of his lib supporters, and their all going to vote for zero.***

Haha busted. But I think Perry is more of a big-state government guy than a federal big-government guy. That’s my impression of him anyway. I think it would be political suicide not to fight Obamacare tooth and nail at this point.

“Not really. Some of those Obama supporters are looking to vote Republican this time.”

So how does it benifit6 conservatives to have a candidate that “SOME” LIB’S will vote for?

Thanks but no thanks...
