Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee lead the field of potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates, according to a poll released Saturday.

Huckabee and Paul each won support from 13 percent of likely Republican voters when asked whom they would vote for if the 2016 Republican primary were held today. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was close behind with 11 percent, while New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz each received 9 percent.

Rand Paul tallied 13 percent again when respondents were asked which candidate they thought could defeat Hillary Clinton in the general election, while Huckabee's support slipped to 8 percent. Christie scored 13 percent, Bush got 8 percent, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio earned 9 percent.

You think his issue is defense? It sounds like you haven’t been paying attention.

His weakest issue is amnesty and all social issues and his willingness to compromise with Democrats

It is not possible to agree to disagree on marriage, look at what happened to the guy at Mozilla. They want us destroyed, and we are supposed to ignore it?

Was this a poll of some kind of weird libertarian/evangelical church somewhere?

"Huckabee and Paul each won support from 13 percent of likely Republican voters when asked whom they would vote for if the 2016 Republican primary were held today. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was close behind with 11 percent..."

Wow. That's enough to make me swallow my anti-depressant meds with a bottle of Maker's Mark.

All this started with the statement that she had "reservations." Yes, she is related by marriage to indiginous people, but really now, do they have reservations for tribes of eskimos in AK?

I guess I was laboring under the delusion that only American Indians in the lower 48 actually had federal reservations. So therefore, I questioned her having any need whatsoever for "reservations!"

So please keep this discussion focused on her, and not on "relations" since all of this discussion is "relative" anahow!!!

They did have reservations until the 1970s, but no more.

No one has to live on a reservation though.

I know you were just kidding, but I do like to point out that Sarah is in a mixed race family, something the media conceals, and contradicts.

11 percent for Jebbie means he wins the nomination, and George P. can take leave as land commissioener to work in the campaign.

Ah, I see we have a low information voter on our hands. I’m gonna break the news to you. Rand Paul is a REPUBLICAN Senator from KY.

If Nanny Huckabee becomes the Republican nominee, its time to stop caring and move to Russia. Seriously. He’s everything that is wrong with the “Compassionate Conservativsm” of the last decade but on steroids.

Huck could be the next Romney, if the champions of Tea Party don’t try to come up with a better answer than mutually destroying one another.
