Pence - 24%
Huckabee - (22%)
Romney - (13%)
Gingrich - (10%)
Palin - (7%)

Wonder what this will do to the Intrade rankings of Pence and Huckabee . . .
Whew, when I didn't see Romney even on Top 5, I was getting worried. Thank heavens he was at least third! Smiley Not bad considering the people who were voting in this. What makes me even more happy is that only 7% voted for Palin.

You can take my word for it that Romney is one of the worst governors Massachusetts has had within living memory, and he'd be an equally awful president.  That's not my ideology speaking - I nearly always prefer Republican governors - he was just objectively an awful governor.

He wasn't a horrible governor. Die hard Republicans just like to bitch about him after 2008, because he actually tried to give healthcare to his state's citizens. Republicans in general don't give a crap that millions of Americans can't afford coverage. The only Republican in Washington that has creativity on the healthcare issue and everything else is basically Paul Ryan. But seriously Mike Pence! That guy is such a bore, and a neo-con. Figures the Values Voters would vote for him and Huckabee. Afterall they have to make sure Jesus will be able to return to Israel rather than a Palestinian controlled state on judgment day.

I live in Massachusetts, friendo.  I do not know anyone, of any ideological persuasion, who thinks that Mitt Romney did a satisfactory job as governor.  After being elected by lying about his supposed principles, he proceeded to spend his entire term in office outside the state, running for President and joking about what a stupid liberal state Massachusetts is (yes, really).  By the way, the healthcare thing, his one big initiative, has turned out to be a complete disaster.

So who else are Republicans supposed to nominate for President then? Right now there are slim pickings for them in candidates. The electoral map is stacked against them, and they can't take the risk of nominating someone from the deep south, or Sunbelt again that won't help them win back areas they need. Daniels is boring, Thune is a theocrat, Paul isn't acceptable to the majority of Republicans, Palin is off her meds, Pawlenty is too bland, Huckabee is too folksy, and Barbour is too connected with corruption. Christie is too green to make a run yet, and Scott Brown is focusing on reelction in 2012.
