How would each of the other Republican contenders be doing right now?

[Phony Moderate]

If they had been nominated of course.

Rick Santorum - Would be trailing of course, although probably by 8-10 points (so not as much as many would think). Only a major Obama scandal or a global economic crash would put him into contention.

Newt Gingrich - Trailing by 12-14 points. Too arrogant. Too unlikable. Too many skeletons in his closet. Most of his supporters on here would be saying "just wait until the debates!".

Ron Paul - I'm really not sure about this one. Could be slightly leading, could trailing by a huge margin. One thing is for certain though - this forum would have far more activity right now and Dave would have to appoint several extra moderators.

Rick Perry - Would be trailing by a similar margin to Gingrich. But this time it would be the Obama supporters on here saying "just wait until the debates!".

Jon Huntsman - Would be leading by 2-4 points. Still very much a competitive race, much to the surprise of the moderate heroes on here.

Michele Bachmann - Trailing by a huge margin, etc.
