Poll question: Who will get the Republican Nomination?
Right now, I'm feeling like it'll be McCain. What do you say? :hi:

1. Right now, It's not a question of whom the GOP likes the most...
...it's a question of whom they hate the least!

16. i don't think he'll make it, he's got the rapist issue which imo is big, no HUGH!

18. You make good points...
And, I think Romney's got way too many flip-flop issues with abortion and gay rights to swing it. But, he does have money. :shrug: Yeah, the covenant marriage creeps me out too :scared:

17. Huckabee doesn't remind me of Shrub in any way. He can communicate, and he's far smarter.

24. I agree. Known quantity against the "change" candidate the Dems
will put up. As voters get nervous when it comes down to the final choice, McCain would be the "safety" choice.

The system is stacked against independent and/or third-party candidates. The closest we've gotten lately was Perot in 1992, and he still didn't get a single electoral vote.

10. Those who are voting for Mittens are out of your minds.
It ain't happening. I can tell you that right now. You have too much faith in money.

22. I don't see it happening either...
Then again, I didn't think he'd become the MA governor either. :shrug:

15. Hoping for Keyes (HA!), thinking it's McCain
I'm hoping it's Keyes because 1) He's beatable as snot 2) He jumped in TV Nation's Mosh Pit in 2000 (the only candidate who did) I'm thinking it's McCain because 1) The GOP party establishment like him better than Huckster 2) He's still got a bit of the "maverick" image left to him (but not nearly as much as '00) 3) The flopstench of Mitt Romney is overwhelming
