Holyk, you seem to have left out the other candidate in the GOP race, Ron Paul. Was this a minor oversight or intentional? It’s extremely easy for Santorum to poll ahead of Romney when his actual numbers are so low. I guarantee if you ask any intelligent America who pays attention, he/she will tell you that Ron Paul is the only candidate who actually wants to make a difference in the way our country is being run. The poll you cite is a joke, just over 1,000 respondents? That has the same magnitude of someone polling at a grocery store or gas station. If media outlets would actually give Ron Paul and his constituents a fair chance in daily reports such as yours, the actual polling numbers would be quite different. Was Ron Paul even included in the poll you cite? You’re acting as an irresponsible journalist and you owe it to the readers to report on every candidate in order to give them an informed decision in this election.

The tea party has driven the Republicans so far to the right, there’s no hope of them picking up independents, conservative Democrats and moderates in the general election. “Moderate”, thanks to Gingrich, is becoming a bad word. Ronald Reagan wouldn’t have a prayer getting the nomination in today’s Republican Party. I’ve been around 50 years and have never seen such polarization in politics. It’s the perfect recipe for not getting anything accomplished while pointing fingers at the other guy.

I don’t understand why these candidates are playing so much to the tea party conservatives. It’s going to be a weigh stone in the general election. The tea party is not that popular, especially after the House fiasco. The smart move is to court the moderate republicans, independents and the old Reagan democrats.

These guys think, because of a bad economy, all they have to do is stand up, call the President names and their ascent to the Presidency will be a cake walk. Let’s face it; none of them seem to be very bright.

Fox News killed Gingrich………not because of anything he did, but because he called Romney’s business record into question……….and of course we still have heard no real response to those questions!

There is a real cover-up on those issues.

Yes, Santorum and Romney have about the same popularity among conservative republicans but neither one of them is very popular with the moderate republicans or independents. The republican turn-out in Arizona and Michigan will be at an all time low.
