a White woman for president and a subservient male Negro vice-president isn't such a bad idea. Hell, we've tried everything else, even voted in a chimp, (not the smartest chimp but a chimp just the same) and that didn't work.

...the more he wins, the harder it is to convince the party that she's the person to go on to the next step.

Right now, no one's asking who is the best candidate, only who can beat the republicans.

The republican survey is given to 'likely voters' in primaries, which only comprises those who voted for bush in 04...only the most hardcore of the republicans..the ones who still love bush. Ron Paul's supporters are in large degree those who didn't vote in 04 for bush because he ran pretty much unopposed. Democrats and independents can show up at the primaries and switch to the republican party and vote. The tens of millions of ron paul supporters will vastly outnumber the few hundred thousand people who voted for bush in 04, and who comprise those who are being polled... it's no mystery that the 'top tier' GOP candidates are all appealing to the 'security mom' types and the evangelicals

I am a reformed Evangelical, went back to Catholicism. The thing about many Evangelicals is that they have the mentality of 'The sheep hear the shepherd. They listen for his voice. They follow him wherever he goes.' To these Evangelicals, Pastor Huckabee has become that shepherd on a national scale as the one who represents Jesus the Good Shepherd. Pastor Huckabee is full of scandals, but they ignore it because he's the shepherd and the sheep follow the shepherd wherever he goes. The consequences of the philosophy are often not good. On an extreme scale this was the Rev. Jim Jones in Guyana. On a lesser scale happening every day it is people giving away their life's savings to their pastors or the teleministers. If these Evangelical pastors were poor themselves and the money really went to the poor it would be one thing. If they gave all the money for example, to the suffering Christians and Jews in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, I would call them saints. But these pastors, especially the heads of the megachurches and the televangicals, are all multimillionaires! Jesus' words come to mind: 'They devour widows houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers.' Furthermore, Pastor Huckabee is also a politician who wants to be president. An even bigger no no. This does not reflect well on Evangelicals to my mind. I am voting for Ron Paul for president. He is not a huckster. He is a man of integrity and truth. Evangelicals take note: Dr Paul is pro-life, has been married to his wife for 50 years, and his older brother is a Lutheran minister.

The first half of this post covers the problems with the ARG poll amply.

Namely, the ARG poll makes no attempt to account for cell phone users. Given the youth skew of Obama's support, that is a real problem. No wonder they've produced numerous results off by 20 points or more.

has an enormous hole to dig themselves out of, a hole created by GWB. Ron Paul has an enormous shovel. T'would be a shame to see the same old political fluff voted in. I'm an independent voting for Ron Paul.
Somehow, we've survived Bush; now we cannot afford not to have Ron Paul.

SP4: Let's review the 'hole'Dec 26th, 2007 - 20:11:21

Record employment

low inflation

record tax receipts

outstanding exports

Iraq secure and dealing

Stopping useless liberal legislation at every turn.

The only 'hole' here is the one you libazis dug for Bush and he's avoided for the last two terms!
