what?

[Sacajaweau]

It’s ridiculous that Paul has that following!

[SVTCobra03]

Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, Over?

[sodpoodle]

Fox and Friends of Mitt have done their job!!!

[TexasFreeper2009]

Gingrich didn’t lose his support, they just moved to the undecided column, and will return after considering the alternatives.

Romney is about where he has been all year, low 20’s

[Notwithstanding]

True to form, Romney holds steady at revolting 77% of the party.

Iowa picked GHW Bush over Reagan in 1980.. Dole over GHW Bush in 1988 and Huckabee in 2008.. kind of an irrelevant state in regards to picking the nominee

[lexington minuteman 1775]

The fix is in...the media wants Romney so they are now tweaking numbers...they took out Bachman,Perry, and Cain. The only one left was Gingrich...I don’t know what they plan to do if Paul pulls in front...but I am sure they have a plan B.

I don’t put a lot of stock in these polls. Lots of people have dropped land lines. I think Iowa is wide open for all of the candidates.

Interesting to see if Rasmussen has stayed with “likely republican voters” or if he has switched to just “likely voters” or “registered voters”

Also good to see the margin of error and if it’s a statistical tie.

Iowa, if it chooses Mitt Romney, has handed him the presidency, because Mitt will win or go 2nd in New Hampshire and the entire media world, Fox included, will proclaim Mitt the winner of the nomination...

and the sheeple will follow.

[wolfman23601]

Just as I predicted yesterday (and got flamed for). The attacks on Newt are slowly eroding his support and we are going to get stuck with Romney, who will win with 25% with the conservative vote split too many ways. I am an anybody but Mitt guy, and at this point, I’d be willing to throw my support behind Ron Paul if polls continue to show he has a chance (though I still hope Perry can get a 2nd chance).

Well according to Ann Coulter, Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate in the Republican Primary...How she managed to make that claim and keep a straight face I'll never know, Team Romney must have sent her one heck of a big check...

[Notwithstanding]

The debate tension kicks up another few notches.

It will be nice to see Paul under the microscope. Perhaps he will be asked about his newsletter’s description of Martin Luther King. Perhaps his newsletters will show him to be what he is: zany.

[hershey]

Fox had Newt in the lead a few minutes ago.

[Wurlitzer]

Romney=Obama light
Newt=Top notch Press Secretary or policy maker. Self destructs too many times.
Cain=Great ideas but seems to have a groin problem
Perry=Smile no substance

Paul=Great ideas except for Foreign policy but way too old and would hand the election to the big BO.

Come on there has to be someone in a country of 350Million +/- that can beat a sitting president who hates the country, believes the founders were wrong, is attempting to accomplish the Cloward & Piven strategy in as few years as possible, is such a racist he deserves the title of exalted leader of the Klan With a Tan.

Did you know that marketing research can determine whether you are a conservative or a liberal by your purchasing and TV viewing patterns?

They also can with great accuracy predict your political leanings by your zip code. Also, telephone number lists are generally sold by demographic, income, zip code, race, voting patterns, etc.

So when you see a public released political poll like all those mentioned this early in a major political race; in addition to number polled and likely voters - also ask yourself what information is provided to determine the lists used to select the zip code and demographics to interview for the “poll;” what is the assurance of quality of the interviewers; the time of day the calls occurred; who paid for the poll; do they have a known agenda; what were the total questions asked, etc? Without this information the polls are only saying whatever whomever is paying for them want them to say.

And yes, there are millions of rea$on$ to lie and make up multiple “polls” to manipulate people. If you think its not possible to do this kind of manipulation on a large scale, please see the push manipulation for AGW as just one of the better known examples.

Nevertheless, we all saw the outpouring of volunteers and individual cash donations for Palin and Cain. That is hard to fake. If The 2 alleged front runners are doing so well where are the similar individual efforts to support them?

The way the game is played is to set it up so the ones people like are always downplayed and the people have to chose to vote for a lesser evil to prevent a worse evil from winning.It’s very effective.

Yes, the polls do look close to accurate in the end. That’s because of the self fulfilling prophecy and the power of manipulation by the professionals. People are easy to herd when its marketed properly...

Larry, Curly and Moe... my apologies to the Marx Brothers... hey you know what... two of those three could be called “marx brothers” due to their socialist ideologies... one can be called brilliant on fiscal policy... and insane on foreign policy. Brilliant Insanity... what a lineup!. boehner, mcconnell and plebieus must be so proud.

You have to wonder about the makeup of the Iowa GOP where 46% are backing either Romney or Paul. Basically half the electorate is liberal or nuts. Or both.

[Proud2BeRight]

Maybe it is time for a new party. When the field comes down to a RINO used car salesman, a guy with heavy baggage, and a nutcase, the GOP may not be worth supporting with any vote. Maybe it is time to send a message from the Tea Party that we are fed up.

[Proud2BeRight]

The last three elections I had to vote for “the lesser of the two evils”. This time, my choice is shaping up to be “none of the above”.
