I find it hard to believe that Obama's approvals are 42-55 at Texas but only 46-50 nationally.

Huckabee & Gingrich are generic Southern Republicans that will do well in the Bible Belt states.

We already knew this before these polls and 2012 will be more polarizing in these states should one of the 2 guys from above be nominated.

They have no appeal though in western states such as CO, NM, NV - thus securing Obama re-election.

Is it my imagination, or has poundingtherock fled the board like some kind of Tunisian dictator?

What a day for Palin- Todd affair rumors, tied with Obama in Texas, and Michelle Bachmann announces she's going rogue and giving her own state of the union response.  All just after ceremonies marking the one week anniversary of saying "blood libel".

lol @ Palin's numbers. However, those are pretty strong numbers across the board for Obama, especially since Huckabee likely won't run.

This officially has me concerned about Romney's appeal in the South.  We need to see a poll of GA.  If he's in a statistical tie or behind, that would negate his entire advantage over Huckabee, which is the West.  I think Huckabee can be considered the strongest opponent for now.  He would make PA and especially IA close enough that he could potentially eek out a win without CO and NV.

I'm a bit doubtful on the numbers, but Palin being statistically tied in Texas is laughable. Good God.

I don't see why this poll isn't reasonable. If Obama trails Romney by 7 and Gingrich by just 5, I could definitely see Palin being tied.

Two rival responses to the President's SOTU speech? Egad!

This could indicate the splintering of the GOP.

...If Sarah Palin can't defeat President Obama in Texas, then she might as well drop out of consideration.  What's next? Behind Obama in Kentucky?

Texas is clearly a Democratic state in 2012. [/pbrower2a]

I actually think the Republicans can win without CO, NV or NM. As far as Huck is concerned, I think this is his path to election:



The light blue areas are places I think he can pick up from Obama 2008. (Huckabee would have lost in 2008, but with the 2010 census, he wins 272-266.)

i think that the democrats should at least attempt in winning Texas. First, it is an electoral goldmine. Second, the state has a democratic history. I believe that since the formation of the two party system in 1856, the state has voted Democratic 24 times, Republican 12 times, and Third Party once (1860).

Obama can campaign here as many times as he want, it still isn't going to swing the state his way.

If Obama makes an effort to win Texas, either
A) Texas is for Obama what Pennsylvania was for Mccain
or
B) Obama has so much campaign money that he has nowhere else to spend it.
or
C) Sarah Palin is running

That's simply a joke at the expense of pbrower, who was always saying that Texas would go to Obama in 2012.

When did he ever say that?  I certainly don't remember him making that claim.

I stand corrected, then. But I do remember him talking a lot about Texas (here, for example). I know, he's not actually saying Obama would win, but still.
