3. Other. Palin. The media will set up a "contest" between them (think Dancing with the Stars) and

suck all the oxygen out of the GOP race. Palin wins it.

4. I'm voting for Willard M. Romney in this poll.

I shit you not, Mitt's real name is Willard. Like the rat-king.

5. I voted for "other."

Edited on Sun Jun-26-11 05:15 PM by MADem

I just think all those clowns have way too much baggage.

Some folks say that Governor "Fat Bastard" Christie has a shot, but I think he's got baggage, too.

I just don't have a strong sense of any anointed candidate from that end of the political spectrum.

6. I pick the field -- other. I don't think Romney can get away from "Obomneycare" and the others

have no chance.

7. I voted other

I think a dark-horse is sitting it out for awhile to let the field thin

11. Really? I see nothing but Mickey Mouse on there.

Ironically, "Willard" was a rat.

9. I'm sticking with my old favorite

i.e. "None of the above"

I have long said that the current round of Republican candidates is like the sequence of a circus:

First they have the clowns come out to entertain the audience and loosen them up. They have big flappy shoes (in the circus)/
mouths (if Republican candidates) and make everybody laugh.

Then, out comes the real act that everybody came to see in the first place. We just haven't yet been introduced to him.

10. Mittens. Three reasons why:

1) It's his turn. That's the way the GOP works--they won't allow an Obama-Hillary situation. Dems like new exciting fresh faces, GOPers don't--at least not for President. That's conservatism. 2) He is especially hungry to get the nod--he's invested way more of himself, his time, his money than all the rest of them put together. 3) With another Mormon in the race, Mormonism seems almost downright commonplace instead of a novelty that will trip him up with evangelicals. Huntsman is diluting the negative impact.

13. I like the cut of your jib

I see where you're coming from with this.

Good luck, that no-prize just might be coming your way.

14. Not too long ago I really thought Huntsman was the guy. You know,

handsome, had the "look" and then....he opened his mouth. I do think Sarah is waiting to make a grand entrance. Mitt is probably the guy though...

12. Rick Perry's Hair

15. Mitt Romney, no doubt.

The Republican wing of the Republican Party will win out. The money-changers.

They'll get the support of the Wall Street money people.

The teabaggers will maybe get a VP candidate, which is meaningless.

If we are really lucky, the teabaggers will break off and form a third party, and that will turn the present-day Republican fringe into the Whig Party.
