Quinnipiac Virginia Primary Poll [Romney v. Paul Head to Head]

[IDefendThePlatform]

This. I've seen enough. The GOP is a lost cause. It needs to be written off, at least when it comes to national elections.
There are a handful of decent republicans in the house and senate but that's it.

I blame Foxnews. The GOP voters are just doing what the propaganda has been telling them to do. We need to expose the media and create our own (internet, new TV station) if we're going to be successful over the long haul.

 

[Keith and stuff]

I don't think it's so much of an anti-Paul vote as an "electability" vote among the masses who have been brainwashed by Fox News into believing that Ron Paul can't beat Obama.

I completely agree. I've made many 1000s of phone calls to Republicans. Because they personally disagree with Ron Paul on foreign policy, they think Paul has no chance of beating Obama. Their ideas make zero sense as poll after poll shows Paul doing pretty well against Obama or usually better than most of the other Republican do against Obama.

For a little perspective, Paul Beat Romney in the 2008 VA Primary. We can do it again!


Official Results[3][4] Candidate Votes Percentage Delegates
John McCain 244,829 50.04% 60
Mike Huckabee 199,003 40.67% 0
Ron Paul 21,999 4.50% 0
Mitt Romney* 18,002 3.68% 0
Fred Thompson* 3,395 0.69% 0
Rudy Giuliani* 2,024 0.41% 0
Total 489,252 100% 60

Romney had dropped out by then.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

We have to hope Santorum and Grinch tell their supporters to vote Paul.

Never going to happen. Do people here actually believe this?

Yes. Sadly.

Ouch.

I think we'll do much better in VA. These numbers REALLY surprise me, though. I thought it would be 60/40 or even, one way or the other.

LOL, I was expecting Sarah Palin to come out and accidentally say "If I lived in Virginia, I would vote for Newt Gingrich," not knowing that he wont even be on the ballot.

 

[Mark37snj]

I think this poll underestimates the anti-Romney vote. Gingrich and Santorum voters, if they show up, will vote strategically against Romney.

[One Last Battle!]

This was before Romney was destroyed by Santorum repeatedly.

I don't think we'll win by any means, but I think when it comes down to it we'll do okay and possibly win some congressional districts.

Who's on the ground? if there are really people on the ground then that is a wonderful thing.

We really have to hit VA with the recent national poll and how well Ron does against Obama...let them know he could beat Obama.

I'm surprised people weren't expecting this. Ron's head to head numbers against Romney are always this bad. I can't believe people expect Ron to have a chance in hell of winning Virginia.

That was my first thought when I heard only RP and Mittens were on the ballot. The fact is, RP is simply a no-go for mainstream Republicans.

Not necessarily. He is pretty strong in parts of the NE and some of the midwest. His strongest area is probably the west and that's where he may be competitive in primaries. Think Montana and New Mexico.

BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB KILL THE MOOOSLIMS and BROWN FOLK. GOP has become the party of war, death, destruction, tyranny, theocracy, and religious nuttery. Goldwater was right.

When you say "radical right" today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye

Religious kooks have destroyed the GOP.

When they add in the other candidates, Paul got 12%, including 15% from non-Tea Partiers and 5% from Tea Partiers!!!

Something has to be done about the Tea Party vote!

The Tea-Party has nearly become synonymous with Neo-Conservatism. Good luck getting those bastards to vote for Ron.

 

[Nathan Hale]

This is just a reminder that Paul benefits from a large field. There are a lot of calls for Gingrich or Santorum to drop out, but we need them, if only to split the establishment vote. In a four way race, a nice high-twenties plurality can win a state, not in a two way race.

Maybe we can get Rush Limbaugh to do an "Operation Chaos" for Virginia.
