March 14, 201511 yr Here's your CPAC straw poll results, Republicans. You have Jeb Bush, probably the most sensible of the bunch , finishing a distant fifth behind non-electables Paul , Walker, Cruz, and Carson. Please, please GOP nominate one of those four!!!! Hey, even Sarah Palin , Donald Trump, and John Bolton got some votes. This list makes me chuckle. The only one that I think could a make a reasonable run at Hillary is Jeb but I think the country is too" Bush-logged" for him to even do much. Last poll I saw had her beating him pretty badly as well. REAL CLEAR has Walker, Bush , and Huckabee as front-runners. All this makes me happy! 1. Rand Paul 25.7 (31) 2. Scott Walker 21.4 (7) 3. Ted Cruz 11.5 (11) 4. Ben Carson 11.4 (9) 5. Jeb Bush 8.3 (N/A) 6. Rick Santorum 4.3 (7) 7. Marco Rubio 3.7 (6) 8. Donald Trump 3.5 (2) 9. Carly Fiorina 3.0 (N/A) 10. Chris Christie 2.8 (8) 11. Rick Perry 1.1 (3) 12. Bobby Jindal 0.9 (2) 13. Sarah Palin 0.8 (2) 14. Mike Huckabee 0.3 (2) 15. John Bolton 0.3 (N/A) 16. Lindsey Graham 0.1 (N/A) 17. George Pataki 0.1 (N/A) They forgot to put the Republican Senator from Israel on that list .
March 31, 201511 yr Good call. I should not have included him. Seems like more than you thought are deemed "electable." Poll: Hillary Clinton slips in swing states - CNN.com "Sen. Rand Paul, the libertarian-leaning Republican from Kentucky, is now the man to beat in Ohio after he narrowed his margin against Clinton to just a five-point deficit, according to Tuesday's poll. Paul, who is expected to announce his bid for the presidency next week, trailed Clinton by 12 points in Quinnipiac's early February poll..... ...Paul is also winning over Pennsylvanians, trimming his 9-point deficit to a virtual tie, landing 45% of support to Clinton's 44% in the state."
April 1, 201511 yr Seems like more than you thought are deemed "electable." Poll: Hillary Clinton slips in swing states - CNN.com Paul is the scariest GOP candidate for Democrats. A lot of young voters who would normally vote Democrat would vote Paul over Hillary.
April 1, 201511 yr Paul is the scariest GOP candidate for Democrats. A lot of young voters who would normally vote Democrat would vote Paul over Hillary. Agreed. Numbers keep proving him to have the best shot to win in a General Election.
