then there is the matter of “LV”, “RV”, and “A”.....
Likely Voters
Registered Voters
Adults
The latter is the least useful, which is why CNN relies on it to misrepresent Newt’s standing in the polls.
Try some orignial thought and consider CNN’s results from questioning 467 “Adults”, rather than “Likely Voters”.
That’s how they pretend Newt and Mitt are tied.....
While he was likable early on, Cain quickly showed us all what a one dimensional candidate he really was. A real empty suit.
That gets us to Newt. Not the best choice for conservatives and not a winning choice for the GOP either.
CNN working to nominate Romney I can understand. But why would FNC with its “RV” do the same?
Huntsman has some business experience with Huntsman Corp between 1993 and 2001.
Perry has some business experience with his family’s cotton farm between 1977 to 1984. Perry also has military experience.
Paul has experience as a physician in private practice. I would call that small business experience—on par with, and similar to Bachmann’s business experience. Paul also has military experience, however it was as a flight surgeon rather than a line officer.
Nice try but your’re all wet! Pun intended.
Go Newt!!!!!!...all the way to the finish line!
Can’t accept Paul is treading above Perry or Bachmann.....what a dipwad! Glad the Governor said to not pay attention to Ron Paul’s numbers.....he’s right....Paul will never get the American peoples support as he stands just left of Obama.
“Bye bye Newt.”
It seems a bit early for you to be celebrating a Romney win.
But hey, you keep your fingers crossed and you still might get your imaginary president, Obama, for another 4 years.
GO NEWT GO.....
As long as people keep paying attention to them, the polls will keep lying and manipulating. Ignore polls, all of them.
That's the first "Mitt is a better choice than (anybody besides Satan)" statement I've seen in a long time here.
So many spam monkeys, so little time. LOL
I too just sent Newt another $100.
GO NEWT GO.............
Palin’s starting to make noises (again..). Wonder what her line looks like.
How do you really compare newt and mccain...? That just seems like an odd comparison...
Ed Rollins just predicted Ron Paul win in Iowa.
My own assessment of a variety of factors. Temperament, tendencies, electability.
They are both old-guard Republicans who people feel good about because they have been around for a long time. They are also two candidates who will lose to a younger dynamic candidate like Obama. And they will lose because they offer nothing new and exciting, but instead have become entrenched in the machinations of Washington.
and
"I do not believe there is any way possible that Romney wins the GOP nomination"
At this point, Romney is ~most~ likely to win the nomination. He has the establishment GOP in his pocket, big time, because he has the most money and he leads in most polling, albeit by small margins.
Some other candidate will have to upset that status by a firm margin, else I fear Romney will indeed snag the nomination.
But, the voting populace, including those on this website, are all over the map, running from one candidate to another, and throwing rocks at every other candidate in the process. Not very wise, and most likely will lead to a win by Obama next year.... that is, unless self-proclaimed 'conservatives' can find their conservative thinking-caps.
A super-pac committed 20 million to Newt last week.
