Right, because that is where they all fall down. Don't like Obama? Fine. Pick a Republican and unify behind that one person.
Good luck!

I voted for Ten Nugent because you left off the one Republican candidate that will actually be running against Obama in 2012. Rick Perry will be the Republican nominee and conservatives and independents will rally behind him to defeat Obama. Yeah, yeah, I know, he's from Texas, he has a southern accent, he sounds too much like Bush...bullshit. That's why you liberals don't like him, it won't scare off conservatives and independents anywhere near as much as it scares you.

Rick Perry's Budget woes should eliminate him as a GOP candidate if the GOP was really concerned with budgets. Touting Rick Perry just shows peoples true colors. Rick Perry cannot hide from his budget problems and we don't need him bringing his budget woes to the Nation.
Keep trying though. You guys might find a viable candidate one of these years. And then there is that whole thing about him being nothing more than George Bush's replacement in Texas. He'll never get out from under that cloud of doom.

Good poll, I cant wait until Dr Paul wins.Seeing how no one really wanted to create a fair poll listing all the candidates running for POTUS in 2012, I thought I would..Cast your vote for who you would like to see in the White House come 2012.
We need to unite and elect Paul.

If the real polls are like this it will be the most epic debate in history.

I think the results of your poll on a pro-cannabis website pretty much sum up why the Dems should be worried. If you're honest, you will concede that it is unlikely that the people selecting various Republicans in your poll, are going to do a 180 degree turnaround and vote for Obama. More likely, a majority of them will vote for whichever candidate the Republican party nominates. I know I sure as hell will and so will a huge majority of independents. So, on a website that would typically lean in your crowds favor, Obama is losing (42.42% to 57.58%) in a LANDSLIDE. Which is right along quite a few HONEST polls that I've seen over the last couple of weeks. Obama knows it, his internal poll numbers have been abysmal.
I only hope the pendulum swings all the way to the other side and we can unwind 80 years of Progressive social lunacy, destroy the debilitating welfare state and get our citizens to embrace individual responsibility. That's what I want for Christmas. And I'd love it, if all that could happen without the religious zealots injecting their garbage into the mix (a pipe dream, I know).

Newt got 2 votes? Really? I thought he decided not to run. Even so, if he's still in... he got 2 votes? Really?

Wow so EVERYONE who voted non-Obama will have no problem voting for Mitt Romney or Michelle Bachman..To be honest I would take Mitt over Michele...What I see in the poll is that people either love Obama or Ron Paul...bad news for Paul is the Republican party don't like him, so he will not get the nod...I will find it hard to believe that all Ron Paul fans will then vote for Romney( would that not go against what they believe in )..What I find strange is Romney will most likely be your man but he has zero votes here...Hell even you want Ted Nugent..lol..but we will see...
The Nuge as president? Only in bad dreams. Personally I like Ted's views, I like his music too, but that isn't what makes a good president. Leadership skills are what make a good president. The last really good leader IMO was Kennedy. The presidents since have all just been corporate puppets.

I look at you somewhat differently now reading what you just said about Kennedy...I would have thought differently...I agree Kennedy was one of the best leaders..I guess thats what got him killed

IMO, that is a problem that the left AND the right have. It's a matter of perception. Those who oppose the left are not all marching in lock step with the right wing conservatives or even the neo-cons. I have suggested to others that you expand your view of the political landscape beyond the left/right paradigm. Some think Libertarians are far right wing, nothing could be further from the truth. Libertarians used to be called "classic liberals".
Think of it as a baseball diamond, with the republicans at 1st base, the democrats at 3rd, authoritarians at home plate and Libertarians at 2nd. It is more than a 2 dimensional map. People's politics don't just fall either right or left or somewhere in between. Don't limit your thinking just because the two party system is pushing this philosophy.

I never said they would do so without trepidation, and a few percentage might hold the line and write in someone like Ron Paul. And kudos for them in doing so, I did it with Perot and helped Clinton get in, but I didn't care at the time.
I think where you are off on your analysis is you are forgetting your own party's talking points for the last couple of years. Remember, the conservatives absolutely LOATH this president. Whether it is his policies, class warfare rhetoric, his vision for the future or as so many of you like to attribute our distaste for him, his race. It doesn't even matter what the real reason is (the fact progressive social engineering is destroying this country). There is no possibility that even a fraction of Republicans or Independents that like one Republican candidate would risk allowing Obama another term, just to write in their guy... as much as you would love that scenario...it ain't happening this go 'round. You guys better find another candidate if that's what you're counting on.

I think half of the people who want Ron Paul will not vote for any other republican candidate, at least. I won't, unless it's Gary Johnson.
