Free Republic POLL for Republican Nominee for President

11=13-11 | Self

[BagCamAddict]

Two-question poll.

Send FReemail to me with your vote -- don't post your vote on the thread. This will be a confidential poll, and I will post the results Tuesday night.

. . .

Question 1:

If the election were held TODAY, of the following four candidates, who would you vote for for the Republican Nominee for President? (in alphabetical order)

CAIN

GINGRICH

PERRY

ROMNEY

. . .

Question 2:

If the election were held TODAY, of the following four candidates, who would be your SECOND CHOICE for the Republican Nominee for President? (in alphabetical order)

CAIN

GINGRICH

PERRY

ROMNEY

. . . .

RULES OF THE POLL:

1. Send me a private FReemail with your first and second choice votes. Number your choices: 1. XXXXX 2. YYYYY

2. Do not post your votes on the thread.

3. Your votes will be completely confidential -- I will share them with no one, other than the final tally.

4. Bump the thread to keep it visible. (Post something like "voted" or "bump".) Ping your lists -- ALL lists. Let's get as many FReepers as we can to vote, especially the lurkers.

5. Only 4 candidates are listed because those are the only 4 who are potentially viable candidates. I'm not wasting our time diluting the vote any further than these 4. If you want to vote for someone else, then just don't send me a vote.

6. The "poll" is open from now until 0600 am EST, Tuesday morning (open the rest of Sunday, all day and all night Monday).

7. Obviously, only vote once.

8. I will post the results Tuesday evening, probably late at night.

Why are you letting lurkers vote? They could be anybody. Journalists even.

9th RULE: Do not TAUNT the POLL.

They could even be - gasp - DEMOCRATS. ;-)

Because I want to be sure the vocal minority isn't skewing the poll.

There are thousands of registered FReepers, but only a relatively few post. I want to get a larger sample size, so we have a wider representation of potential GOP voters. (Recognizing, like I said, that there could be registered Democrats in the poll sample.)

I'm hoping this will give us an idea of where we stand, and where we need to go from here. I wish I had a more scientific way to do it, but I don't. So I'm doing this. :-)

Good one!

[BillyBoy]

If the election were held TODAY, there would be more than four candidates to choose from on the ballot. Since you chose NOT to include all the candidates that would be on the ballot, I choose not to participate in your FR poll. :-p

Hey! Rule One!

Polls may bounce up and down between candidates as if being manipulated by an unknown intelligence.

If it's in the GOP the unknown is a given.

[BagCamAddict]

Shhhhhhh!!
