Wow, kind of mixed news for Repubs, I’d say.
Btw, ppppolls tweets..
Georgia and New Hampshire won our vote on where to poll next week, taking your question suggestions: http://tinyurl.com/4lqyszq
half a minute ago via web
===
Huck should win Georgia even with Newt in. I think both Palin and Romney have slid down there.
New Hampshire is a waste of time to poll, imo. Romney will win by double digits. If not, there could be an opening for Pawlenty, Huntsman Jr. or even Newt.
March 30th, 2011 at 4:26 pm
If current trends hold up, all we have to do is put a non-toxic person on the top and Rubio on the bottom. We’d get 40% of Hispanics and the election will mostly be over. By the third quarter, we’ll know more or less the direction of this recovery.
March 30th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
letmeeatmywaffle, When you said “a non-toxic person” – do you mean someone that people like even if they disagree with them – someone who has a higher favorable opinion than unfavorable among voters?
March 30th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Obama = toast, extra crispy
Any of our potential candidates will beat him like a rug.
Hell, McCain was ahead (thanks to you know who) before the economic collapse.
March 30th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
#3, Granny T, I would mean people like Romney, Pawlenty, Daniels, Huckabee and Huntsman. People like Newt, Sarah, Santorum, Bachmann, etc would be like Sharron Angle, O’Donnel; people who grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.
March 30th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Hmm seems many GOP voters are not as gung-ho on foreign policy as they once were.
March 30th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
#5 – Yeah, but among the “non-toxic” candidates, I would still rather have someone running who at least seems half-interested in the job. That basically leaves Romney and Pawlenty.
March 30th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
How can 90% of people have a view on whether or not Obama should be re-elected but only 73% of people say whether they’d vote for Obama or for the Republican? Are there seriously 17% of people who are going to vote Libertarian or Green party? Is there a chance that some, maybe even a majority of those people are expecting a tea party candidate and would vote for them? If so, and assuming no one in the tea party is dumb enough to take that many votes away from a major republican candidate, can the republican expect a big upswing over that 37% number? Its gunna be interesting!
March 30th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
We should be ashamed that not more people believe we should be in Afghanistan – WE WERE ATTACKED by a terrorist group that was being given safe haven by the Taliban, and if the current government there falls, and the Taliban returns (or if the Taliban is given their own area to rule over), what evidence do we have that the terrorists will not move right back in?
===
As for Libya – it would have been a slaughter by a dictator against an, at least partially, democratic movement.
The only thing we should be concerned about here is that, unless we can help equip the rebels to move into more challenging areas, the country will likely be fractured and significantly weakened. With air power leveling the playing field, things are just going to sea-saw between Ras Lanuf and Sirte…..the worst case scenario might be an all-out ghaddafi victory, but a country that breaks in two isn’t much better
March 30th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
#9 We’ve been there going on 10 years now and what started as a findem and killem mission turned into a nation-building decade long stay. If you want to have a presence there then at least pull out regular combat troops and leave the SEALS,Delta, Green Berets and Rangers there to to covert missions, hunt down Bin Laden.
March 30th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
“#9 We’ve been there going on 10 years now and what started as a findem and killem mission turned into a nation-building decade long stay.”
Its not just about killing the people who directly attacked us – THAT is truly an indeffinate mission…you HAVE to create some kind of stability and freedom where something other than radical islam –> terrorism has a chance.
March 30th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
But if we can’t do it in 10 years in a country that remains the world’s heroin supplier, what do we give it then? 10 more years?
March 30th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Anyone who underestimates Obama in ’12 is a fool. He will be very difficult for anyone to beat. We need to keep our eye on the ball and make sure our nominee has both uber competance and crossover appeal. Before anyone screams at me, I don’t think we have to sacrifice our principles to achieve this.
March 30th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
All of you are making too much sense tonight.

Georgia isn’t a slam dunk for Huckabee next week. You tend to forget not only is it Newt’s state, Herman Cain is there too, add on Haley Barbour being from the south and Mitt Romney’s strength in Atlanta suburbs and you’ve got a battle.
March 30th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
ALL the better when Huck wins Georgia, Steven.
March 30th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
Maybe PPP will include Buddy Roemer, too
March 30th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
The latest Georgia Presidential poll is out from 20/20 Insight.
Early February 2011
GOP Presidential preference:
?19% Huckabee
?18% Gingrich
?14% Romney
?14% Cain
?11% Palin
?3% Pawlenty
?2% Barbour
?1% Daniels
General election:
?47% Obama (D), 43% Palin (R)
?50% Romney (R), 44% Obama (D)
?50% Huckabee (R), 45% Obama (D)
?47% Gingrich (R), 45% Obama (D)
March 30th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gingrich leading or Huckabee leading. Now, Romney leading would be a big deal. Cain could break the top 4.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
I think PPP just surveys our big five and one or two more each time.
Maybe they will include Haley who can’t even beat Huck in his own home state of Mississippi is my guess.

Mike Huckabee 31%

Newt Gingrich 11%
Sarah Palin 17%
Ron Paul 10%
Tim Pawlenty 3% ..there’s that 3 again. I’m calling Tim, 3-Paw

Tim Pawlenty’s Cap & Trading Global Warming Napolitano Embracing Past
Posted on March 24, 2011 by Roaring Republican
UPDATE: It gets worse. Pawlenty also called Jimmy Carter a visionary for his stance on the environment.
Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty launched his presidential campaign this week with a video described by AllahPundit as “I’m Not Mitt Romney.” Below is another video airing the dirty liberal laundry of Pawlenty’s past that makes the governor seem an awful lot like his flip-floppy potential Massachusetts rival .
Really Tim? Janet Napolitano? I have frequently noted that I live in a blue state and understand we breed a different kind of Republican in them. The RINO kind who either cave on issues to get elected or actually believe the lefty side. The problem? How do we ever know that when holding a higher office they will actually shed these beliefs and embrace conservatism?
==========================================
Ha,ha,ha….ha,ha,ha………
Oh,man,this is funny………
I didn’t know about this,but I always knew T-Paw is fake,
fraud,phony conservative.
That’s why I call him “milk toast squish”.
But he’s not the only one,there is a full crew:
all 7 of them.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
Craig,
You better get used to calling him 5-Paw
Then 6-Paw…
then 7-Paw…
..then..on January 20th 2013…
President PAW!!!
March 30th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Hey Matt,
Are you there bud?Do you hear me?!Hello!!!
Just couple days ago you asked me why I call you moderate
and I told you something like:
“Because you support T-Paw.How in the world you could
consider that milk toast squish a conservative”?
Are you still with T-Paw?!
Ha,ha,ha………
March 30th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
But for now, and I’m pretty sure in the upcoming Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and New Hampshire polls, it will still be “3-Paw”
March 30th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
Smacks,
But if he becomes 33-Paw, I guarantee Huck will back him!
March 30th, 2011 at 9:45 pm
TEX,
TPAW is a Social Conservative-Fiscal Conservative-
He made a hugh mistake on Cap-n-Trade.
He has admitted his mistake many times and has not tried to run from it.
You believe he should not be called a Conservative, I do.
Keep posting this tuff if you like…but I got to tell you something..if TPAW is not considered a Conservative and his supporters can only be described as Moderates..then HELL I guess you and the 5 purist on this site will have to win the election on your own.
Ignorant.
Proudly Pawlenty/Rubio 2012!
March 30th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
Craig,
FL – 3Paw
GA – 3Paw
Miss – 3Paw (I hope)
New Hampshire – 6PAW…yeah baby 6PAW!!!!!
TPAW has got to up to 6pts in New Hampshire don’t you think?
Honestly Craig….give me this!
Next week New Hampshire – TPAW 6%
Getting nervous ROMBOTS???
March 30th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
TEX,
Quit picking on Pawlenty! He’s still my number two.
Talk instead about your own candidate, Sarahcuda..

HARMONY CENTRAL FORUMS
Tim Pawlenty: “I’m stupid”
Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), who is exploring a run for president, is bluntly backing off from the progressive position he once took on cap-and-trade.
Pawlenty has stepped back from this position before, but now he’s handling it as an apparent presidential candidate. MSNBC reports:
“Anybody who’s going to run for this office who’s been in an executive position or may run has got some clunkers in their record,” he said on the Laura Ingraham Show.
“As to climate change – or more specifically cap-and-trade – I’ve just come out and admitted and said, ‘Look, it was a mistake. It was stupid. I’m not going to try to defend it.’”
The former Minnesota governor signed a bill in 2007 that authorized a task force “to recommend how the state could adopt” a cap-and-trade system. The same year, he also joined onto an accord with five other governors urging the creation of “a market-based and multi-sector cap-and-trade mechanism.”
Ingraham also played a radio ad that Pawlenty had appeared in, alongside none other than then-Gov. Janet Napolitano (D-AZ), now the Secretary of Homeland Security.
That’s a whopper of a flip-flop.
=============================================
T-Paw = Milk toast squish.
Put a fork in him!!!
March 30th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Ha,ha,ha….
This is too much fun!
Craig,
So,mr “milk toast squish” is your #2?
Good luck!Ha,ha,ha……………
March 30th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
In the last PPP NH in Nov..and my prediction for next week
Mitch Daniels 1% ..stay about the same this time
Newt Gingrich 15% ..will drop
Mike Huckabee 15% ..will rise
Sarah Palin 18% ..will drop
Tim Pawlenty 2% ..”3-Paw” puhlease!!!
Mike Pence 3% ..OUT
Mitt Romney 25% ..third tier candidate (JK)
John Thune 1% ..OUT
March 30th, 2011 at 10:01 pm

You are to call him 3-Paw until further notice. Ok?

Governor PALIN: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT on State’s Film Production Tax Credit
Posted on March 30 2011 – 12:35 PM – Posted by: Sheya
Via Facebook
Goodness, cleaning up the sloppiness of reporters could be a full time job. In response to The Daily Caller’s online inquiry, I gave them a statement that the writer buried on
his story’s second page (which most people won’t even notice
– I didn’t even notice it) after he spent the first page completely spinning a situation to give the impression that Alaska’s film production tax credit legislation was somehow solely my idea hatched up to benefit the Palins years before I was ever involved in a documentary series on TLC/Discovery Channel.
Here’s setting the record straight: As Governor, I signed into law a popular bipartisan bill that was crafted and passed by others and has resulted innumerous Alaska-based productions that are airing today. The only alternative to signing the legislature’s work product would have been for me to veto their legislation, which would have been useless. Besides all that, their legislation worked.
This bill was not some secret big government agenda. These Alaskan legislators just wanted Alaska to be able to compete with the many other states that offer similar incentives. As I noted in my statement (which was curiously buried by The Daily Caller – whose editor-in-chief was recently called on the carpet for publicly using a degrading term to describe women), I can’t speak for the film tax credit programs in other states, but the program in Alaska has been effective. The bipartisan legislation I signed into law in 2008 was borne out of elected lawmakers’ frustration with the fact that shows and films about Alaska were mostly filmed elsewhere. They wanted to incentivize production companies to film in Alaska instead of Canada, Washington state, or Maine.
Their bill worked, and as the legislation’s supporters will testify, the state’s economy enjoys the benefits of having this production money circulating right here at home. It was so successful that state lawmakers now want to renew the film production tax credits for another ten years. Keep in mind that we don’t have a state income tax, state sales tax, or state property tax in Alaska.
Our state government is predominately funded by oil and gas revenue. Essentially we are using revenue generated from the development of Alaska’s natural resources in order to diversify our economy and create jobs beyond just resource development. Not only does this help promote a new film industry in Alaska, it obviously also has the added benefit of encouraging our tourism industry. These shows and films about Alaska act as perfect tourist advertisements for our state. People come here to experience what they see on the shows filmed here.
The dramatic increase in Alaska-based television shows and films are testament to the fact that this legislation worked, and it’s exciting to see our state showcased and appreciated. There has been more film productions here than ever before, and the economic benefit of filming here exceeds the tax credit.
And another point missed by this reporter: apparently The Daily Caller’s conspiracy theory must be that I did all of this not even to benefit myself but Mark Burnett Productions.
As I tried to explain to the writer at The Daily Caller, if you believe in this bizarre scenario then why not ask the sponsors, drafters, and supporters of this legislation that would boost job creation if they crafted this bill years ago in order to benefit Sarah Palin. Any suggestion that I somehow did something wrong by signing this legislation is ridiculous.
The accusation hinges on the notion that I signed the legislation into law knowing that it would personally benefit me. That’s totally absurd. It wasn’t even my bill, and obviously I had no intention of benefiting from it when I signed it into law in 2008 because I had no idea I would be involved in a documentary series years later. If you’re going to accuse me of benefiting from legislation I signed into law, why stop there? Go ahead and accuse me of “benefiting” from the legislation my administration actually did craft – like for example, our oil and gas evaluation legislation (ACES).
You could say I “benefited” from it in the sense that due to ACES the state where I live (Alaska) now enjoys a $12 billion surplus. In fact, you could say that as an Alaskan, I benefited from all of the legislation I championed or signed as governor – just as every Alaskan benefited.
As I also tried to tell the reporter, it’s also a false accusation to suggest that signing this bipartisan bill somehow goes against my position on the proper role of government. I’ve said many times that government can play an appropriate role in incentivizing business, creating infrastructure, and leveling the playing field to foster competition so the market picks winners and losers, instead of bureaucrats burdening businesses and picking winners and losers.
Again, I can’t speak for what other states do, but Alaska’s film production tax credit program was an effective way to incentivize a new industry that would diversify our economy. It worked. The lawmakers’ successful legislation fit Alaska’s economy, as our economy is quite unique from other states’ due to our oil and gas revenue.
Perhaps it would behoove people to learn much more about the 49th state’s young economy before making broad accusations about the efficacy of business programs. People who live in ivory towers don’t understand the real world where governors and lawmakers actually have to fight to attract business and jobs to their states.
One final thought: having to set the record straight on my Facebook page yet again is further proof that the media can’t be trusted even to print a statement in a manner that people can read.

March 30th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
Newt missed a Tea Party breakfast meeting in NH this morning due to being overbooked.
Is something wrong with Newt? His team is struggling. I know Newt is and idea man, and not much known for good organizational skills, but this is getting silly.
March 30th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
TEX,
Who do you prefer in 2012 if Sarah actually decides to wait till her kids are older (a definite possibility) to run for office at a later time?
If you had to pick one and your choices were:
Obama
Romney
Pawlenty
Huckabee
And why?
March 30th, 2011 at 10:11 pm

TEX,
Ok, I read that long thing.
March 30th, 2011 at 10:12 pm
TEX,
YAWN…ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
Talking about boring.
Palin vs. media…..wow, that is special.
Hey Palin why don’t you just come out here to Iowa and piss or get off the pot.
Oh and by the way..during the General Election – Obama vs. TPAW..
..please Palin..go on a long vacation and stay away from the keyboard. Thanks.
March 30th, 2011 at 10:19 pm
I try to be nice to Newt and ALL his fans on the internet because I think he’ll endorse Huck in South Carolina (yep, I think he drops out before SC) and then go back to his Fox News gig and promote Huckabee on weekdays there..
And perhaps we’ll have Newt and the Little Rockers on weekends!

============================================
If somebody puts .44 Magnum against my head,with all his faults I would have to pick Huckabee.
Because T-Paw is flip-flopping liberal to moderate political
opportunist,no better than Mitt Romney.
At least Huckabee is open and honest for the most part.
Plus he’s sharper than the other two.
March 30th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
The campaign has already started, you guys are just too lost in your own candidates misery to notice.
While T-Paw and Gingrich debate what issues we should be talking about and fight for oxygen among the Buddy Roemer and Rick Santorum losers, she is taking the heat straight to Obama.
Twice in each of Obama’s last two speeches he has tried to co-opt a phrase or mention a saying of Palin’s. She in return has crushed him, either in an interview or a FB post.
His “A Secure Energy Future” speech today was a direct response to the hurtin’ Palin put on him last week. He should have left well enough alone, as she clubbed him like a Halibut shortly afterwords.
(I swear, she lives rent free in Obama’s head)
She is taking him apart daily.
The battle is ON!
You want to see how it’s done? This is leadership:

If you want to skip to the punch line, here it is (for you who still think she isn’t running)

Oh yes,by faaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!

Let’s not be short-sighted. It’s not just about getting some lump of flesh with an R on it into the White House. We need the R with the right skill-set, and the nerve to take on this nightmare.
And no, that’s not Huckabee. Bless his heart.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
I would NOT disagree with a Palin. She has in moxy and attitude, what Romney has in raw skill and savvy. But she’s not runnin’.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
No one good is running. Pawlenty? I could barely stay awake the first 30 seconds of the speech I Youtubed in an effort to get to know him. Sleeeeeeeeper. Big time.
Gingrich = hasbeen
Trump = unstable
Bachman = pretty awesome but no executive experience
Anyone else I have to strain my brain to think of which means they aren’t sufficiently exciting or qualified to be on the tip of my brain.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Tex,
Clearly by the tone of your comments above, you have absolutely no idea that Palin used to support Cap & Trade too.
Ouch. How embarrassing……..
March 30th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Telly,
“Any of our potential candidates will beat him like a rug.”
Ummmmm….. no. This comment is wishful thinking, and not borne out by any polls. Take Sarah, for instance. She is currently losing Tennessee and South Dakota by around 8 points each, and is roughly tied in Nebraska.
Any Republican that is tied in Nebraska and losing Tennessee is getting beat like a rented mule and is set to win around 5 states.
So as bad as things are for Barry, he is currently annihilating Palin by 1964 proportions. Imagine how bad it would have to get for him in order for her to even have a chance!

So do you really believe people who believed in climate change and supported Cap & Trade are “Milk toast squish”?
The term, btw, is “milquetoast”.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
TEX,
Now if T-Paw apologizes for C&T (and he has about 10 times) and no longer favors it, how in the world is he a liberal.
His second term in Minnesota was almost perfect and he did balance a bunch of budgets in eight years. He’s a lifetime pro-lifer, and is about as conservative as a blue state governor can be.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
No waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay,Jose!
Sarahcuda NEVER supported Crap & Tax!
All she did was get sub comity to look if the ice is melting
more than before,and if it is she never thought it’s men’s
doing,it’s all nature’s business.
As she would say:”Quit making things up”!
By the way,are you still with liberal-moderate,flip-flopping,
finger in the wind,will say and do anything to advance his
ambition,political twin of Romney,that milk toast squish,

Tex,
LOL!
You can close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears, but Sarah Palin supported capping carbon emissions. She supported the concept in her VP debate. She even created a subcabinet position in her half-term as governor to study global warming. So, all those things you said about TPaw up above must apply to Sarah.
You should really see what side of the branch you’re on, before you start sawing it off.

Matt,Matt,
There is minimal climate change,it has been happening since
the beginning of time,but it’s not caused by men.
Sarah Palin was never for Crap & Tax.
Quit making things up!
Tell me about mr “milquetoast”,you’re still for him?

Tex,
DId you read my link in #52?
That might help settle the “Is not!” “Was too!” thing that’s starting here.

Tex,
“Tell me about mr “milquetoast”,you’re still for him?”
You mean the guy with the honesty to admit he was wrong (unlike certain Nordic Wolverines)?
I’ve yet to settle on anyone yet. Same as before. But yes, I like TPaw, with reservations, same as before. I believe in principles more than I believe in politicians though, and it’s easy to see where all these people are lacking.

This poll tells us that we can win in 2012, but it also tells us the American people are tired of politicians NOT solving the problems most Americans want them to solve. They want Obama to address the issues of deficits, jobs, and spending.
He’s not doing it, and the American people are turning on him.

Tex,
Now that you’ve had a chance to review Sarah’s record on capping carbon emissions, would you describe her as a “fraud” and a “phony” as you described Pawlenty above?
March 31st, 2011 at 12:58 am
The truth is that ALL of the top five candidates- Pawlenty, Romney, Palin, Huck, and Newt- have supported some kind of mechanism for capping carbon emissions in the past.

62.
That’s true.

Reading through these threads…that Liz sure sounds like a smart lady.
She should post more, I like her.
All these polls are worthless. Especially the PPP polls.
3-Paw can’t win. He’s unelectable.
Huckabee isn’t running.
Newt – are you freakin’ kidding me?
The others, meh.
It’s a two way race: Palin/Romney.
Pick your side.

What’s going on in the real world? Oh yeah, the campaign is underway…
Barack Obama, Sarah Palin Argue Over Energy Policy
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110330/cm_ac/8180959_barack_obama_sarah_palin_argue_over_energy_policy
Palin knows quite a bit about energy policy, stemming from her days as an energy regulator then governor of Alaska. Furthermore, she has linked energy policy with economic growth and national security in what amounts to a Palin Doctrine.
Energy Policy + National Security + Economic Growth = The Palin Doctrine.
That is a winning message.
Something NONE of the other candidates have articulated yet. (Although I expect a T-Paw press conference within the next week saying basically that. LOL)
(Can you imagine how T-Paw would wet himself if Obama even acknowledged his existence?)

Look carefully folks, because this is what passes for “analysis” over at Conservatives4Palin.
