NH GOP Straw Poll Results To Be Announced This Afternoon

[KramerDSP]

Per media outlets, the NH GOP is having a straw poll today. Virtually every name in the potential 2012 field is on the ballot, including Ron. Results to be announced later on this afternoon. Predictions?

More than a year before New Hampshire Republicans will head to the polls to vote for the candidate they think is best equipped to take on President Obama in 2012, leaders of the Granite State GOP will meet today to choose which of the myriad unofficial candidates has the early lead.

WMUR-TV and ABC News will sponsor New Hampshire's first-ever straw poll of state Republican officials, who will gather in Derry, NH to choose their next state chair. The event, one of the earliest of its kind, ever, is expected to be watched by political junkies across the country.

Hope for Paul in the top 3
Expect Romney to win
Palin comes in second.

Those would be my predictions.

Predictions?

In 2008, NH GOP voters went for anti-war John McCain. With Obamacare the big issue this time, I predict they'll go for anti-mandate Mitt Romney.

C'mon Double Digits for Ronnie!

Maybe we should start calling him "Ronnie" so that we can with the neo-conservatives over with the mask/image of Ronald Reagan. They are not substance voters anyway, so might as well use a Mask of Good Feelings to lock in those votes.

The event also featured a straw poll, carried by Mitt Romney with a healthy, if not overwhelming, 36% of the vote. Ron Paul was the only other one in double digits.

I can live with that

 

[rp08orbust]

I'm pleasantly surprised. I expected maybe anti-consumption tax Mike Huckabee to come in second.

Straw poll attendees: "We hate Obamacare! Let's vote for Romney."

Romney wins WMUR/ABC GOP NH straw poll w/ 35%. Paul at 11%; Tpaw at 8%; Palin at 7%: Bachmann at 5%

 

[rp08orbust]

I think this is evidence of some progress at infiltrating the Republican Party with libertarians, because 11% is better than Ron has been doing lately in general NH polls with far fewer names in the questionnaires.

So...will the media refer to Palin as being a fringe candidate now? I mean, if even that quixotic kook, Ron Paul, can outperform her...

Straw poll attendees: "We hate Obamacare! Let's vote for Romney."

So they vote for the guy that came up with Romneycare and bankrupted the state of Mass's health care system. The same Romneycare that Obamacare is based on.

How STUPID are these sheeple???
