[RIP Robert H Bork]

This is very disturbing.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

This is very disturbing.

why?  Obama breaks 46% against only Palin....but we're 33 months away from Nov 2012 for crying out loud.

[Eraserhead]

This is very disturbing.

Why? You should be happy that two of your guys are statistically even with him. Palin is a joke and the Thune numbers are based on name recognition and nothing more. This might be the first time that Romney has performed better than Huckabee in a PPP poll though.

The fact that Romney is doing the strongest is exactly what I find disturbing. Look at my screen name again.

I was just going to say this.

Lets remember folks that 2010 is the where we should be focused and we shouldn't divide over 2012 until 2011. We should be pleased, Officepark, that both our guys are within the margin of error against Obama in 2012 matchup. Thats a great sign. We should leave it at that. Notice, I quit attacking Huck awhile ago because I realize this very fact. I trust Huckabee supporters will do the same, unless they want to prove that all they care about is Huck and don't give a damn about Conservatism at large.

Fair enough.

[President Mitt]

Eww. Romney.... A tad disappointing.

[segwaystyle2012]

How does he even have a lead at this point?

[You kip if you want to...]

How does he even have a lead at this point?

It's a snapshot. If the election was held today.

[Sasquatch]

Obama only +7 up on Palin...is more disturbing.

[Poundingtherock]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ras show Palin ahead in his next 2012 poll.

[Jensen]

Romney is okay, the other choices are awful.

[TheGreatOne]

Romney is okay, the other choices are awful.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Romney is okay awful, the other choices are awful okay.

Fixed.

[Joe Republic]

Romney is awful, the other choices are okay.

Fixed.

If you must "fix" people's posts (something that Dave disapproves of, by the way), please indicate how you did so.  Strikethrough ( [s][/s] ) tags are a good way to do it.

[Eraserhead]

Look at who he's up against.

[Psychic Octopus]

Excellent news, but it means nothing.
