Who is the most beatable top Republican candidate and why?

[Colobo]

Poll question: Who is the most beatable top Republican candidate and why?

Think about the GE next year...

[usregimechange]

1. Abortion, wingnuts will stay home

2. I think Freddie is running because his wife insisted on it. He really doesn't want the job.

It sure looks like it from the way he's NOT campaigning. It also surprises me that he's doing so badly in front of a microphone. He's an actor for god sake! He gets totally lost on impromptu questions and can't think of what to say. Any Dem candidate could slaughter hem in the general!

3. Weekend at Freddie's.

[WCGreen]

4. Mike Huckabee could be the guy to take the nomination while

Rudy is 9/11ing his campaign to the margin and Mitt is smiling just a little creepier than he normally does...

5. I concur with this.

I think Romney would be the easiest to beat.

6. Romney, because he's a Mormon. It's that simple.

Not saying it's right or wrong, but the numbers are startling

NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll Nov. 1-5, 2007. N=approx. 750 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.6.

"Do you think the voters of this country are ready to elect a qualified as president, or don't you think so?"

Are Ready /Don't Think So /Unsure

Italian American
75 /16 /9

Woman
69 /24 /7

African American
63 /27 /10

Hispanic
46 /46 /8

Mormon
38 /50 /12

7. Shall not answer the poll because all those reprobates can

be beat. That is if the Dems are smart enough to put HRC on the ticket.
MSM media all day have been talking like this one damn poll out of what 10 to 12 gives Obama a lead and its like the obama folks saviour has arrived. Goodness folks I will give you the day, but in any business or sports if you are 1 for 12 you ain't doing so damn good. Plus when Talk radio whores are saying great things about Obama, this should make one wonder. Why would facsist bastards say nice things about Obama?
I have nothing bad to say about Obama. But seriously, between Obama and the only team to win back-to-back presidential campaigns since FDR, (the team that beat war hero Bush and war hero Dole), ...who do you think the super-racist GOP wants to run against? uh huh
That is a sad but true fact.

8. Giuliani

if the democrat doesn't roll over like a lap dog and take it from him.

I think we should be the ones to DISH IT next year.

[FightingIrish]

9. Giuliani, because he's an asshole.

Seriously, he has "asshole" written all over him. I talked to a friend of mine in Italy today. He says he hates Giuliani because he has all the traits of the worst Italian politicians. He will be exposed for his horrendous bad judgment, mafioso style and total lack of character.

[JeffR]

10. Fred, because he'll be sound asleep by New Hampshire

:boring:

[Mythsaje]

11. They're all terribly vulnerable...

I think any of our potential candidates can whoop any of theirs.

[ShadowLiberal]

12. Mitt Romney, he's a repuke version of John Kerry

If Mitt got the nomination then the democrats could just recycle some of the republican's 04' commercials, changing the name "John Kerry" to "Mitt Romney". I mean seriously, the guy's home state is filled with tons of dirt on him because it shows his flip flops. Lets see now, off the top of my head.
-Claimed he'd be better for gays then Ted Kennedy, now spouts antigay rhetoric.
-Changed his opinion on abortion when he decided he would probably run for president
-Claims he was tough on illegal immigration, but did nothing about sanctuary cities in his state harboring illegal immigrants, other his last days in office, when he issued an order to crack down on illegals that never took effect because the police needed 6 weeks of training first for it to go into effect (and he issued it with less then 6 weeks into his term, when the next governor had already said he'd repeal such an order right away)
-Has plenty of old commercials from his governor election that really high light his flip flops quite well

Oh and then there's issues that they all share that'll hurt him, proIraq war, for the neocon foreign policy of Bush.

Fred Thompson would also be a good person to go up against with his big lobbying career, and the whole lazy thing.

[McCamy Taylor]

13. Romney is a mormon. 'Nuff said.

[rufus dog]

14. I think it is Rudy then Mitt

For the same reason, Rudy will not get a huge support from the Religious Right, as strange as it may seem Mitt may be able to get a few more on his side becuase he is a man of faith, even though many on the religious right see the Morman church as a cult, some may give him points for being committed to his faith. For some unknown reason Fred gets points from the same group, for the same reason Bush got them to believe his bullshit.
