Definitive 2012 GOP Primary Poll for late 2008, ROUND 3!!!

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Results from Round 2:


John Thune        (R-SD)       6 (8.5%)
Sarah Palin         (R-AK)       7 (9.9%)
Bobby Jindal        (R-LA)       17 (23.9%)
Tim Pawlenty      (R-MN)       12 (16.9%)
Mitt Romney       (R-MA)       9 (12.7%)
Mike Huckabee    (R-AR)       8 (11.3%)
Charlie Crist        (R-FL)       12 (16.9%)

This time I've eliminated the two lowest candidates and increased the number of votes to three, let's see if some clear losers emerge before the final round.

[Nixon in '80]

Crist, Romney, and Pawlenty.

I have a feeling Crist and Huckabee drop off, but don't quote me.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Pawlenty, Romney and Jindal.

[Keystone Phil]

Pawlenty and Jindal

[Daniel Adams]

Crist & Jindal.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Crist, Pawlenty, Huckabee.

[Eraserhead]

Jindal, Romney and Huckabee

[Daniel Z]

Not Jindal and Huckabee.

[Reaganfan]

Jindal, Romney and Huckabee

It looks like Crist is running away with this.  He's the most electable of the Republicans because he can appeal to minorities, has powerful friends (McCain, Schwartzenegger) and knows how to play the game.  His marriages, the stories about an 18 year old claiming to be his daughter might hurt him, but I think the only way the Republicans will win is if Obama messes up badly, which I don't expect to happen.
Jindal is more conservative than guys like Huckabee and Pawlenty will look more awkward trying to attack the Democrats than McCain did.  I expect the Mitt to make a comeback though and if that happens the Republicans are doomed.
