[Mr. Morden]

PPP poll of Virginia:

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_VA_801.pdf

Perry 20%
Romney 16%
Bachmann 15%
Palin 13%
Cain 10%
Gingrich 6%
Paul 6%
Pawlenty 2%
Huntsman 1%

If Palin doesn't run:

Bachmann 21%
Perry 18%
Romney 18%
Cain 10%
Gingrich 8%
Paul 7%
Pawlenty 3%
Huntsman 2%

who leads among....
moderates: Romney
somewhat conservative: Romney
very conservative: Perry

Also, George Allen has a better favorability minus unfavorability number among GOP primary voters than do any of the presidential candidates.

It's sad that Romney leads among moderates and somewhat conservatives yet still trails.

Yes, it's sad that people that view themselves as "somewhat conservative" actually support Romney.

Because Palin doesn't make any move to run, I`ll give it to Bachmann:

BTW: Why does Perry drop 2 points when Palin is excluded ? That`s strange.

[Gustaf]

Maybe some people support Perry as an anti-Palin and don't think they will need to if she doesn't run? That's the only logic I can think of.

Perry gets less support if Palin doesn't run?

I think it's overwhelmingly likely she endorses and campaigns for Perry if she doesn't run.  (Same with Giuliani.  I'd buy him on intrade for VP btw.  Think he's the favorite if Perry is nominee.)

I know I predicted she'd endorse Bachmann before but that was before I knew Perry was running and that Palin would have an alternative that would preserve her Tea cred.  Also before Bachmann's campaign manager insulted Palin.  But I may have been wrong even without all that.  Only room for one queen.

I'm part of the 1% that plans to vote for Huntsman.  Me and 2 guys who live down the street from me

They should have polled your street.

I'll bet 100-1 odds against a social liberal beign nominated anywhere near the ticket.

Huntsman would still get 3rd or 4th

I've seen this in a few polls where Huntsman goes from 1% to 2% if Palin doesn't run. Odd.
