Gallup: Leading GOP Contenders
PRINCETON, NJ -- Looking ahead to the 2012 presidential election, 71% of Republicans say they would seriously consider voting for Mike Huckabee. This gives Huckabee a slight edge over Mitt Romney (65%) and Sarah Palin (65%) in this early test of the strength of several potential Republican contenders. A majority of Republicans also say they would seriously consider voting for Newt Gingrich, but far fewer say they are currently ready to support the lesser-known Tim Pawlenty or Haley Barbour.

Conservatives have no new ideas. Every day they push themselves further out to the fringe of the right wing. These bankrupt politicians are all you have to offer America? A failed governor who speaks about how she is a woman but is known for trampling women's rights, and the other run of the mill white guys who have been in politics their whole lives? You need more than blind ambition and scaremongering that divides the nation in order to come back. How about a message for the future besides "we like war" and "crush the little guy for corporate money."

I concur with you on your analysis of both Palin & Romney. It occurs to me, too, that another contender - a dark horse that we haven't had on our radar - may come from somewhere.

I didn't ID with whom I concur. Sorry. I concur with you, voiceofreason.

Lets not underestimate Sarah. She is the on the Democrats fear the most
johnnymarin
I love Sarah, but I have not made up my mind on voting for her at this time. There is plenty of time for her in the Future. We have to pick a conservative that can win no matter what. As time goes by, she will gain more experience and increase her chances of a strong victory. No hurry, my fellow Americans.

Mitt Romney is a more reasonable choice of the present pool in my estimation. Romney is a "money guy" for certain. He turned the Salt Lake City Olympics into a profitable venture. Has private sector and Governmental Executive experience and has dealt with the healthcare issue as well as most every other head-on. I also believe his religious affiliation may instill empathy in his social decisions and understanding of Americans. He is quite intelligent.
thevoiceofreason
I don't beleieve Sarah Palin is a responsible choice for 2012. She is a lightining rod for controversy and would provide more positive influence by finding and supporting reasonable candidates to office. There is also the possibility she may create a division between the Republican party and possibly set out on her own with a new party and create Perot-effect in the future.
Who put the twit in twitter - Sarah
" Snot drips from the lip-sticked pigs mouth every time it opens. "

Barney Frank and Sarah Palin on the same program. A socker mom (Sarah Palin)and an idiot (Barney Frank). Who is going to come out on top? You must be kidding? No more safe districts vote Barney Frank out of office Tea Party goers. Target and defeat him for the good of the country.

A New CONSERVATIVE Party for 2012!
Levin / Limbaugh for 2012 ticket with
Cabinet Members- Palin, Beck, Bachman, Hannan, Huckabee, Gingrich etc.!
Reagan 2012
I don't think Hannan is an American citizen, so he might not be elgible. Beck should definitely be the 'book czar'.

Cons: your outnumbered. Do the math. You don't have a chance. Unless you compromise and try to include some of your middle of the road Republicans you have no chance.You are the fringe
capt chaos
Have you even read the polls that discuss who really is a conservative and who is a lib-tard?
From CNSNews.com
'" In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either “conservative” (31%) or “very conservative” (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004.
Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are “liberal” and 5% who say they are “very liberal.”
Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate"'
So....Feeling stupid and ignorant yet?? Conservatives out number lib-tards 2:1, and that is according to Gallup
mark g
capt chaos: So explain why ya keep losing or in the case of this last week barley winning. The point is that you cannot count on the moderates because you are scaring them away.Look up the word moderate. It does not include your ideals. While you may like to think of yourselves as average americans the reality is that you and your ideas are on the fringe. Like I said in the above post unless you can quiet the crazies the middle of the road Republicans (or moderates if you will) will not support you just like in 2008
Reagan 2012
And proud of it!!!

Please NOT Newt. We will only experience a repeat of 2008. Not sure he is even Republican let alone conservative.
Kohimama
Oh yes please, please Sarah, please run. It would be a hoot to watch as your incoherent ramblings and insipid remarks would provide great entertainment for one and all.
Reagan 2012
You're right! Obama's teleprompter is far more articulate.
peewee
She would do some good believe it are not . It would really make the wh.House think about how stupid they really are and scare the hell out of them all since they think we are the stupid ones think about it.

Tim Pawlenty would be a good replacement for OBAMA.....I love Sarah, but I think a Pawlenty/Palin ticket would be smart. He is extrememly articulate and doesn't need a crutch(teleprompter). He can actually talk about what he believes with passion and intelligence. Sarah too has that ability.....She can be the new Cheney.......governing from the REAL power position.
Kohimama
Pawlenty is fine, but SHE is an idiot.
peewee
she thinls the way about you

People who are so quick to viciously attack others are usually somewhat low on brain power; you sound as though you could use some more smarts yourself.

I think this next race will be much more substantive, not simple-minded childish utopia of change and hope. I know the people are and will be far better informed and energized. O9 is no time to take any candidate of the list. With 10.2 unemployment hitting today, Obama's greatest accomplishment to date, I think Hilary has even a greater chance in 2012. If any version of Obama care fails to materialize this year, he will be marginalize. If the Dems loose big in 2010, he will be pushing up daisies... politically speaking. Palin an Bachmann will be exciting to watch as Obama continues to fail.

Hilyary would be on the same side as obama so think about what you are saying.
SandyNSavannah
Do NOT, DO NOT!!!! want Palin. I do not think she can win and we do not need to take ANY CHANCES!!!
peewee
what are you afaird of someone that can really make a change , are you jealous of her . I fine most most people who don't like her are afaird of her are jealous of the lady because she has the guts to stand uo to anyone, she is a very smart lady simple and that is what we need.
RUMBITA
I THINK..WILSON/BACHMANN WILL BE PERFECT CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN TICKET!!
Dale Jeu
John,
Palin did NOT quit, she resigned. Due to the fact of her intelligence of knowing that due to the effects of running as the VP, she could no longer accomplish her duties as governor of Alaska.
There is a big difference between quitting and resigning.
I am not certain that she would make a good president, because she would want to do like she did in Alaska, make her own party live financially responsible.
peewee
she is what we need ,make them realize that we are tired of paing for them to play.
Kohimama
Just reading your sentence construction, Dale Jeu, I can see why you think Sarah Palin is intelligent.
Reagan 2012
At least least Dale Jeu posed a logical argument. You can't think, so you resort to personal attacks. Typical leftist!!!
John0524
Did you just call Sarah palin intelligent? Just checking.
BobW
I think it time to introduce Michele Bachmann's name as well. She speaks plain every day english and not the typical political rhetoric spewing out the mouth's of most present day elected officials. She is a breath of pleasant fresh air.
John
Mitt with his business and love of people is the best choice with Hucabee as a VP
Palin quit her post that she was eleced to. She can't take the pressure.
She is not a bad person, just NOT the best choice

Newt is completely out of touch with the conservatives is this country when he would support a left-wing Republican in New York and for her to drop out and giver her backing to the democrat. Newt had to have egg on hi face when that happened. I haven't seen any contender yet in the Republican Party yet to express anger at the obama administration where they are taking this country into a Socialized Dictatorship. According to people that know the Constitution obama is busting it up and NO-ONE is saying nothing about it.
Do Not Make Excuses
We would have voted for Huckabee last time. We will vote for him this time around . HUCKABEE FOR PRESIDENT.
mrcfiman
Huckabee/ Palin ?
peewee
aaai'm for that also.
SandyNSavannah
AMEN!! Huckabee for president!!! WooooHoooo
escarmo
I would love to see Huckabee and Palin run together on the same ticket. I think we would have two very upstanding, country loving, intelligent candidates who would be sure to beat the guy in office now.
