Huckabee - Approve
Palin - Disapprove
Romney - Disapprove
Gingrich - Mixed/Lean disapprove
Pawlenty - Approve
Santorum - Approve
Huntsman - Approve
Barbour - Disapprove
Bachmann - Disapprove
Bolton - Mixed/Lean approve
Daniels - Mixed/Lean approve
Giuliani - Disapprove
Johnson - Disapprove
Paul - Disapprove
Roemer - Disapprove
Thune - Approve
Trump - Approve (for entertainment purposes)
Cain - Disapprove (like the guy but running for President? No)

I'm leaving out the real joke candidates (Angle, McMillan, Martin, etc.).

Curmudgeonly nitpick: This should really be favorable / unfavorable.  The concept of "approving of a person" is incoherent.

Yeah, I guess so. Feel free to substitute my "approve" with "favorable" and "disapprove" with "unfavorable."  Tongue

Oh yes, her approval is through the roof. Then again, I've seen higher roofs in repossessed homes in Detroit...

Must have not had much contact with me before on this board...
Not joking at all.  People don't see what I see in them.  Other conservatives do not consider what I consider and liberals think Im batsh**t crazy - therefore it is useless for me to explain myself.  At this point, I simply support them and will keep my reasons to myself.

Does it have anything to do with anything related to nipples or vaginas?
