Early Read on GOP Candidate Preferences for 2012

[cervantessssssssssss]

First thing RP would do is knock out gov. corruption... therefore, why would he even be considered? It would be like cutting their own throats for the american people.

[hobo59]

2012 is way to far off politically speaking. There's plenty of bribe taking, adulterous affairs, and drunken driving accidents yet to be revealed before a final candidate can be decided on. lol No doubt if any party wants to win this next election they'll have to also win in 2010. that said so far the trend is conservative unknowns are way ahead in numbers so far.

[RuflessRecords]

This is how the news media makes politics so boring. Shut up about 2012 you life-less losers. The presidential election season is too long as it is.

[nrobyar]

ALL polls for the past 8 months show GOVERNOR HUCKABEE as the frontrunner.  Huckabee 2012!!!!

[jrad0915]

No I don't fear Ron Paul he is 157 years old...I have been a cop for 8 years...2 years as Police Chief and 2004 Police Officer of the Year...I'm an EMT, MA and a Cert. Fitness Trainer....I have kicked tons of ass, taken countless bad guys to jail and saved hundreds of lives...people have placed babies that were not breathing in my arms and said save my child.............NO..........­.. I don't fear much

[mooninquirer]

I actually think 2012 will FAVOR the GOP presidential candidate, IF the GOP does not take back the House and Senate in 2010, because it is undesirable to have the Dems control both Congress and the White House, as it enables the "Democrats" to force down the throat of Americans a liberal social agenda, like banning free speech, banning guns, banning Christianity.

[jrad0915]

I understand that Republicans are desperate ...but you have to get off of Ron Paul.....he will be 157 years old in 2012....that's just to old to be President ....sorry

[speakerman1818]

Romney 2012

[Traveler2112]

FRAUD!!! Was Ron Paul on the list? Doubt it. Dems/Repubs(representatives) /Fed Reserve/ IRS, Golman Sachs all fear Ron Paul. Wait till Peter Schiss gets in the Senate.

[Traveler2112]

I'm an Independent Republicrat

[b5kalad]

Good question about why Ron Paul on not on the list.

[Traveler2112]

They fear him because once he is in power the free ride f the dem and repub leaders.

[Traveler2112]

OOPS. My comment got messed up/

They fear him because once he is in power the Dem and Repub leaders free ride party IS OVER.

[jrad0915]

lol...Ron Paul will be 157 years old in 2012....Obama has 2012 in the bag..... Ron Paul that lil old man with the squeakily voice cracks me up

[Traveler2112]

Nothing is guaranteed or in the bag as you say. Not by a long shot. Time will tell if President Obama is worthy of a second term as president. If he is then the people will vote him in. I'm sure President Bush (senior) and his loyal Repubs thought he was going to get a second term also. He was proved wrong. President Obama may be also.

PS: If you believe in him so much show a little respect by taking the time to type his title in front of his name.

[mooninquirer]

You are just saying that because YOU fear him !

[uche007us]

watch?v=b3etUOq7hVE

watch a very insightful critic of Mitt Romney

[Idiotfringe00]

I swear thats the guy who sold me my car...

[Statickogle]

what a fucking annoying voice he has.

[dimaniak]

I'd vote for magic negro

[midwestcharm]

Ron Paul 2012.......

[dimaniak]

Yeah in France lmao

[sosopitt]

yeah id vote mitt

[eatthatpopcorn]

HAHAHA, wow these polls 3 years in advance are sooo pointless! hillary clinton was up 20% less than a year in advance and look how that turned out

[1988joeymarkus]

Fuck all these clowns. Jeb Bush is the clear choice for 2012!!!!

[silver5149]

bahahaha!

I started cracking up when i saw the nominees. wtf... haha

[vandal8906]

Nobody will know until 2012, we still have a lot to see with obama. But all those republican choices sure look terrible.

[jvflexx]

WHO would want this creep MITT... in the white house? OBAMA is doing a good job so far, obama 2012 will win again..

[drummerboy199]

mitt romney would have a chance against obama, palin though, only some dumbass hicks will vote for her

[HELLOJELLO1234567890]

OBAMA!!!

when i turn 18 im defiantly voting for him

[grosquipue]

In 2008, Palin could not make it because of Gran Pa Mc Cain: he was too stupid. His speeches did not make any sense, and his answers to journalist questions often made you think again about the question. In 2012, Palin will run for President, and I think there could be no better choice for her Vice President than Mickey Mouse. He might not look too smart compared to her, but I'm sure he will energize the base...

[drummerboy199]

agreed! ahhhaha

[btownhotties]

OBAMA bitches! Hellz yes.

[SlowRealization]

Little ron paul is the biggest pig in the pork barrel.

[Somai82]

I'm convinced..It's Obama till 2016

[OverlordJake]

I think you're right. And if the Republicans actually did nominate Romney or Palin, it'd be virtually guaranteed.

[MrFreedomdemocracy]

God help us .... as if we didn't have enough with evangelical medieval freakshows we just need a Mormon freakshow to really drawn.

[bass109]

obama for 2012 end of times president obama

[PresidentTeleprompte]

As long as someone beats Obongo who cares

[freedomsfart]

Yeah, even Dick Cheney with Rumsfeld as VP. You are as dumb as shit.

[Bigwheels161616]

whoa whoa whoa, you put Newt Gingrich on the list but no Ron Paul. This poll is a fail, try again.

Ron Paul 2012

[deemenye]

I would agree. I think the Republican party may soon find its long-lost libertarian roots.

[OverlordJake]

I hope you're right.

[hopeulove]

this has to be a joke, or someone trying to make something happen.

[jeffstudbum]

21% for Sarah Palin???WTF? And you guys are saying libs are dumbing down the country???

[TrueBloodTypeA]

It could be a new trend for VP picks jeff, as everyone is terrified that if anything happens to the president they will have VP Biden in the oval office.

[TrueBloodTypeA]

Whoever commits to rebuilding industry in the USA, being energy independent using all forms including offshore drilling everywhere, ending the trade deficit no matter what it takes, and that the FED reserve traitor system needs eliminated, gets my vote.

Of course ACORN and the global corporate powers that be who funded them with millions in the Stimulate Corruption Bill will never let anyone like that make it through the primaries, so I have no idea where my next vote will go.

[99minerkc]

I'm done voting!! ALL CANDIDATES ARE LIARS AND THIEFS!! The only one I would consider voting for is Ron Paul but if he were ever voted in-he would be a lame duck President!

[jCwel]

What's wrong with that country? Sarah palin 21%?

[mastershake1000]

That 21% has a great sense of humor.

[jCwel]

what I really meant was the political right side, not the whole country the left isn't that bad.

[jCwel]

And no, it's not a joke. They're serious. These are the same people that follow the bible litterally, thinks obama is an arabian terrorist and thinks harry potter is the devil.

[DillonX]

Take the IQ of these 4, total, & I figure it'd still be less than 50% of Ron Paul's.

And, yes, I also doubt they put him on the list.

[bradwjensen]

Ron Paul or Rand Paul in 2012! Dennis Kucinich should also run again.

[mtakaj]

are yu "effing kidding me? sarah palin?! are people that dumb to elect someone that is utterly unqualified????

[expatted]

They're all douchebags.

[AlexTreeRat]

great flip flopney~!! this guy is a stupid mormon, id never vote for this loser.

[opinion56]

ron paul or mitt romney, I would not mind but why the fuck is palin that high? that is sad

[Traveler2112]

Bet Ron Paul was not on that list.

[Denomolise]

Ron Paul 2012 or the Republicans are going down again.

[jrubin22]

ask him if he thinks Obama is a US citizen, then I'll know whether he is a real contender or not

[bojan78]

Ron Paul 2012! or earlier

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

NOT SARAH PALIN.

i really dont mind her but she would be crushed in a face off with obama.

long black dong > white milf

it's just how america works. id be okay with ron paul and fred thompson. both are consistent republicans foreign-policy wise.

obama's domestic changes will continue for the next couple decades so no republican can stop that.

foreign policy wise, obama is bankrupting us. doing the bidding of the powerful arab despots and ceding sovereignty to the UN (which we pay for). sad.

[freedomsfart]

Why do republicans love stupidity? Could it be that the average American is....

a moron?

[envious66]

I guess that makes the average Canadian retarded.

[freedomsfart]

There is no way in hell Sarah Palin would be taken seriously for any office in Canada outside of highschool president. Same goes for Dubya. If that's how retards view politicians, then sure, I'm a retard.

[davidedwardclark]

Ron Paul 2012

[amagilly]

military coup now. ron paul president now.

[burntonion05]

It is scary when 20% of the GOP thinks Sarah Palin is fit to be President. Maybe all the Dems should vote in the primaries and vote for Palin. That way they are guaranteed another easy victory.

[HalfLucky]

You guys wanted Obama. Enough said.

[freedomsfart]

"You guys wanted Obama. Enough said."

And you wanted a doddering old cancer patient and his idiot arm-candy. And don't forget that giant of a mind you no-doubt voted for twice - George W. Fuckup.

[boomtastic67]

Sarah Palin....why???

[amspiro]

h says barack obama strange

[onlinevideocritic]

Is anybody excited by this garbage? Here we are less than a year removed from the previous election campaign and we are already talking about 3 years down the line who's gonna be the candidates? and 3 of them were previous candidates who recently lost and the 4th being Newt, who is always in the news at any opportunity available.

If you can count on one thing from this BS reporting, is these are the politicians that you can rely on to continue to run things crookedly without any real change.

[sakurasanmon]

"we" aren't talking. This is entirely the agenda of those in power. An important component of "unplugging" from media bullshit is to realize that when they say "the public" they mean THIER VIEW of the portion of the public THAT THEY TALKED TO. When watching the news keep in mind that it is like a play: you get to watch, but you don't get to participate. The whole delusion is that what is going on on stage effects you very much (unless you want it to).

[thelaw1026]

don't let this propaganda sway you into some self-fulfilling prophecy as always happens with our media. they work for the elites and plan on nominating the same corrupt career politicians as usual.

Ignore the bullshit and support a real american hero for president. If you're a democrat look into Dennis Kucinich. A republican, Ron Paul. Or look into supporting a 3rd party and ending this oligarchy once and for all.

[Xplosiv08]

American is more american than you will ever be, and has accomplished more than you ever would, in 100 lifetimes.

I am voting for Obama in 2012.

[Xplosiv08]

Yeah lets not have leaders. Hell lets not even have government! Lets just all run around the streets naked, singing "JOOYYY TO THE WORLDDD!!!!!"

[Ericjpomeroy]

I wanna see a ron paul/fred thompson ticket.

[BlackJeb09]

Yeah Clay....i'll make confetti out of the dollars because they'll be worthless at this pace.

[BlackJeb09]

Maybe we should try a 3rd or 4th party? The 2 parties have done more damage than any army could do to this once great nation. But we keep voting them in.....

[MotownMoleman]

I hear ya Jeb. Biggest issue is that we need to buffer ANY party from all these cursed lobbyist groups and their special interests.

[clayguy1]

blackjeb... only way a 3rd or 4th party to be successful is if either the dems or the repubs quit... other than that you'd be waisting your vote... it would be like throwing cafetee into the wind..

[fergus247]

lol

[EmmaLG3]

If Romney had been the one debating O'BamBam.... he would have wiped the floor with the Grown-Up Steve Urkel who is occupying the White House!

Republicans need to figure out, that if the Dem's are afraid of the Rep's candidate.... they will attack and try to convince you how stupid they are!

Why do you think the Leftist Media covered McCain 24/7 with POSITIVE media?..... Because they wanted the Rep's to have the BEST CANDIDATE to run against their FAVORED Dem's??

ROFLMAO!

[HeathenRage]

Chuck Hagel/Christie Todd Whitman

These two would make the current democrat administration shit they're pants.

Romney and Palin are barkers....

[skydogz1]

It's a done deal, no matter what anyone thinks.

Palin 2012!

[OwnageIncBFinch]

-.- Exactly, Ron Paul won't ever be on the list because god forbid the next Great Depression be averted!

[slurppypurr]

I bet Ron Paul was not even on the list.

[bullcurr]

Aren't we all supposed to be dead by 2012 anyhow????

[debthebob]

Saints preserve us if this Idiot in his "magical" underwear gets anywhere near the White House. This is almost more disturbing than the thought of Palin in the White House! What a choice...a religious cult member vs a dim wit.

[expatted]

With a couple of ghouls in the mix (Huck and Newt.. The GOP = pathetic.

[EmmaLG3]

If you are so concerned about someone's religion.... then where was the OUT-RAGE, when they showed you that O'ThugInCharge went to listen to the Racist Rev WRONG for over 20 years?

[expatted]

Empty-suit Mittens.

[bbestboy14]

PALIN!

[expatted]

Palin for first douchebag.

[bullcurr]

beats having an escapee for the primate lab in the White House.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[h8tebred]

I second this

[landsolo]

you might have a point there

[landsolo]

what is wrong with the republicans? this guy is not a credible candidate.

I am a registered Democrat.

Ron Paul was/is the best person to do the job, and has my vote AGAIN, in 2012.

RON PAUL WOULD DESTROY ANYONE IF ALLOWED TO DEBATE.

RON PAUL 2012

[rwpeterson3]

Romney / Paul 2010, Yes I mean 2010! Let make a new Country!

[landsolo]

what are you proposing they do together in 2010?

[rwpeterson3]

i dunno, no one else is following any rules, why should they?

[noni4pets]

This poll is ridiculous - it is only name recognition. I personally favor Gary Johnson, an intelligent, honest ex-governor of New Mexico...

[bubsy385]

that guys voice is weird

[YouTubReptilian]

They obviously didn't include Ron Paul in this survey. Ron Paul 2012!!!

[Jaromani]

Rudy Giuliani (remember him?) was the Republican front runner for a long time.

Goes to show how reliable these early polls are. :)

[RonPaulMall]

My vote goes for Ron Paul!

[Ender1zero1]

They couldn't beat John MacCain and he couldn't beat President Obama, just saying

[jomyjoseph2]

Bobby Jindal 2012

[hbreitman]

Get her!

[TheMaiden22]

Arnold Schwarzenegger!! Oh I forgot he can't...

[RevoltorAdapt]

Ron Paul !

[MKB2814]

willard "Mitt" Romney is a smarmy bastard.

[CarryANationIII]

Romney CEO of Earth

[PositiveLastAction]

This is great news...Romney will prove himself to be even more unlikable and lose.

[boxcuttermarshel]

Sara Palin got 21%.

god help us

[hotae333]

ron paul

[DavidThePatriot]

Ron Paul!

[Zoetherat]

Palin, Huckabee, and Gingrich are all social conservatives. The three of them would probably split the social conservative vote if they all ran, thus giving the election to Romney. If two of them were to drop out, it'd be much more of a horse race.

[blargen3141]

Ron Paul 2012

[TheMaiden22]

I meant "news"...

[TheMaiden22]

According to the last poll of 1000 people, if the election were held today, Obama and Romney would be in a dead tie...source was MSNBC or ABC nwes can't remember which....

[ihavtugo]

Romney fucked up Massachusetts so bad it isn't even funny. If America voted in Romney as president America would easily end.

[TheMaiden22]

I agree, but if it's only Palin and Romney, it will be Obama or another democrat in the office 2012.

[hannityforpres]

Obamas doing a good job of destroying the country now.

[MKB2814]

If Willard "Mitt" Romney thinks he'll run America like he did Massachusetts, it means he'll never stick around to do the job and insult the country.

[landsolo]

well played suh!

[EmmaLG3]

Romney did not screw up Massachusetts ...... you TWIT!

Don't you know that the Dem's control MA?

Dem's in MA ... Barney(FannieMae)Frank.... Ted(splash/murder)Kennedy....

What's really sad.... is when you idiots create Blue States... that destroy jobs and the crime rate goes up... so you have to MOVE to a Red State, and then you vote for the DEMOCRAPS... Turn the State Blue.... and you are too stupid to know why you have to move AGAIN!

WAKE UP!

[LifeIsTrippy2008]

Republicans will NEVER.

EVER.

EVER. WIN 2012!

WAKE UP. Americans arent stupid anymore.

[boxcuttermarshel]

Thank you for validating that Americans are still stupid.

[Rhiannon003]

I think the media wants Romney... just like the media wanted Obama

Screw the media

[Rhiannon003]

Why do we want Mr. Massachusetts Romneycare for president?

Republicans need to get back to what was great about them

They were genuine... they had principles they stood by

Romney is a chamelian (so is Obama by the way)who has taken a 180 on some major issues depending on who is voting for him

Republicans should show the stark contrast between a principled conservative and Mr. Celeb Obama and they can't do that with Romney

[mattymattmoran]

amen to that

[TruthSeeker1988]

I'd vote for Obama before I vote for any of these people...

[UberSciFiNerd]

this is a joke, NO neocon can win in 2012, only a true conservative can win

[StinkingHombre]

Republicans might as well run Bozo in 2012.

[xlxMaSoNxlx]

there will be no usa in 2012 so no president in 2012

[siasina]

Turn off your TV to all these nonsense garbage. Another biased report by Gallup!

If you believe in the constitution, liberty, sound money and no fear mongering foreign policy, support Ron Paul.

Ron Paul wasn't even a choice in this biased report.

[Realizalize]

buahhahahahAAAA uuuughf

buahahahaaaa

mid romney, ahahaha , mid romney, hahahah

buuuuhuhu buhuhuuu gheees, AAAAHHH:) nothing funnier today!

[TheRamenAvenger]

The Republicans don't want Ron Paul, he's not enough of a religious nut to make the list. The top 3 are all religious nuts. That's their thing.

[wntoply6]

romney should do to palin what he and the republican party did here in massashusetts when he had another woman standing in his way to be govenor (sitting govenor jane swift)...threaten her so that she dropped out of the race and ran back home to western mass scared as hell.

then it was clear sailing the for mitt boy, the pretender to both the govenorship and now the presidency!

bill krystol recently talked about obama's arrogance, wait till america gets a load of romney!

[Zile77]

wntoply6, We already have the most arrogant jerk in the White House now. Nobody could be worse.

[wntoply6]

you mean after nixon, reagan, bush and cheney? you mean after those arrogant presidents zile77?

[DiziCone]

difference between arrogance and intelligence. but you probably can't tell and i don't blame you.

[uche007us]

"which of these candidates would you vote for in 2012 election?"

Osama bin Laben 0%

The Devil  2%

Me a reg citizen 96%

Am guessing am the favorite for 2012 \o/

[uche007us]

lemme guess, the options did not have Ron Paul in it. Very nice, another biased poll by Gallup

[alfredoconsalsa]

Ron Paul

[donklue]

Fucking Sarah Palin should not fucking be anything. That bitch shoudl not be even in a top 20.

[Xplosiv08]

it BAFFLES MY MIND how that many people still think she can win the vote of the American people to become commander in chief.

It's a joke.

[EmmaLG3]

Just because you LET the leftist media brain-wash you, into believing EVERYTHING they say.... does NOT make what they say...... the TRUTH!

Do you still think O'Dumbo is ABOVE-RACE?

Don't you have to have a mind that works.... in order to have it BAFFLED?

The Teleprompter IN Charge..... is the JOKE!

[Ericjpomeroy]

If Obama can win their votes anybody can.

[Xplosiv08]

Haha, if they could win, they would have in the 08 election.

But wait, who won? Oh yeah, Obama. Your current president.

[mtl1983]

Please people, vote Ron Paul 2012...if he runs. Please check out some of his videos on youtube. Never needs teleprompters or a script. His ideas are very constitutional.

[wntoply6]

i don't like the stand paul, a medical doctor takes on homosexuality. he displays ignorance, bigotry and intolerance. he would not represent a clear 30,000,000 americans with his ignorance and homo phobis (not to mention their REAL/TRUE friends and families)

[uche007us]

what is his take on homosexuality? and whats this bigotry and intolerance you talk about and whats the connection to Ron Paul? i would really like to know

[wntoply6]

he was interview a few years back on homosexuality, and his views are that of falwell and robertson. backward...and this from a so called physician.

[uche007us]

You could be right about Ron Paul but i will take a man who will overturn the Dont Ask dont tell rule and marriage discrimination against homosexuals over a sweet talking man on gay rights who will do nothing.

Ron Paul is not a homophobe and even if he is I would still vote for him over all the pro gay agenda politicans in both the dems and the reps

[wntoply6]

i'd love to hear from you what the gay agenda is. remember, before you give me your opinion or that of the "christian"republican bigots who spend their lives lying about fact, i am gay & a vet. i have no agenda, none of my friends have an agenda. we never knew there was an agenda until falwell, robertson, dobson & the rest of those liars told us we had one.

so uche, what is our agenda, be specific; make sure you have the facts/references (& not by a "christian" think tank) to back it up!

[uche007us]

chill out m8, when I wasnt refering toa sinister plan by the gay community when I said gay agenda, but if u insist on knowing my definition.

In a nut shell, it is the covert plan to make the gay culture acceptable to the society as a whole. Again I think its all good and dandy but to suggest theres no such thing as a gay agenda whether or not you are involved as a gay person is just false.

[wntoply6]

oh, wow, thank you for your insite. i guess if fighting for dignity and the same right you enjoy is an agenda, then i guess an agenda it is.

i repeat as i have said before, there is no gay agenda. it's a device falwell used (and well documented for those who care to look at the facts, you're just not one of them) to raise money for his moral majority. what's worse is someone like you has bought his fund rasing ploy hook line and sinker. shame on your stupidity!

[YouTubReptilian]

Watch his 20/20 banned interview with John Stossel to discover he is pro liberty. Although he personally doesn't support the lifestyle he loves them and wants them to marry if they so choose.

[wideawake123]

His foreign policy is a disaster... however, I like Paul on the economy, and most domestic issues.

[underdog404]

If you're republican and not supporting Ron Paul you're not paying attention. Turn your TV off and learn what is really going on with our country and the world.

[Amoxicillinxt]

I bet the 20% left out of that poll was for Ron Paul.

[izzy1985]

Palin 2012!!

[abarzilai664]

It could also mean that the GOP members are starting to look away from social issues and towards the economy.
