Is Huckabee still running? If he drops out I think his votes will go to Palin. I know I'll be voting for Palin.

I suppose if in the end it comes down to Palin and Obama, I'll be forced to vote for Palin, just to try and get Obama out. But I really wish the GOP would for once nominate a candidate worth putting on the ballet. And obamalover, do your state rules let anyone vote on primaries?

Romney will be the one I believe! The GOP won't run Palin, let's face it they are not that crazy! I see Ron Paul pulling down some of the vote. He won't be it, he isn't even a Republican!

I'm predicting the GOP ticket will be Mitt Romney/Bob Mcdonnell! Hard to say at this point how they will fair facing Obama/Biden! Should be interesting, Obama will be fine if things happens the way he hopes they will! If he passes health care and the unemployment goes down to 7 percent before election day he will win with probably over 50 percent of the vote!

I find it funny that the entire republican population is against the healthcare bill. Yet the politician who passed a health care bill identical to the one they are so opposed to is leading in the REPUBLICAN primary.

None of these guys would stand a chance against Obama in a National Election. For my friends who keep on pointing out the low Obama favorability numbers. Low favorability against what or who? Is there any Repub with any thing like a commendable number?

Romney can't be it because he passed healthcare in MA. If he honestly is going for a message of states rights to conduct healthcare that will end him. I may register republican to get a Palin win the primary. Oooo that would be so good!

Jason... you do realize that there are other punctuation marks other than exclamation marks I hope. Or should it be! But, sadly I don't think any of these candidates would really challenge our dear president. But, if you look back to a couple years before the last election, Giuliani and Thompson were the two leading candidates, and McCain came through and got the nomination, so I'm holding out hope someone else will find a way to run a good primary campaign.

That's funny OL. I remember voting for Obama in the primary here because i thought the electorate wasn't dumb enough to elect a person with no experience, questionable associates, and zero accomplishments to the presidency. I guess that's egg on my face! Well, since i was 100% correct as to how he would govern (or not as the case my be), i guess that's egg on 315 million faces.

It makes me happy to see Ron Paul with 11 percent of the vote. I don't understand Jason's claim that Ron Paul isn't Republican, because he is the only true Republican candidate out of those four. He isn't a neo-conservative, but he certainly is a Republican.
Republicans used to be the anti-war party, they used to believe an interventionist foreign policy was actually counter productive to our national security interests. Now they can't decided which 3rd world country with no navy, army, or military of any kind to attack next.
Republicans used to actually believe in small government. They used to believe in lower taxes AND less government spending. However, looking at the last Bush administration, you'd think Republicans were a bunch of Democrats in the way they spent.
Republicans used to defend civil liberties. They didn't want to involve the government to be involved in our personal issues, tap our phones or decide what we do in our bedrooms.
This is the old Republican Party, the one Ron Paul is a part of.
He is called crazy for his foreign policy of peace and no nation building, but he is running on the same platform that George W Bush ran on in 2000. But guess what?, Bush wasn't called crazy. He is called crazy for his free market view on the economy, but didn't the Republican Party used to be for free markets? And he is called a liberal or anti-conservative for not wanting to ban gay marriage? I still have no idea why and how the Republican Party turned into the anti-gay and anti-civil rights party.
Vote Ron Paul
