Magic underwear really works!

Let's hope he ends up like Giuliani.

If Mitt wins the Republican nomination, I'm going to go waaaaaay out on a limb here and call a second Obama term.

That guy has all the charisma and personality of a billboard.

:D

I lol'ed at this.

Not at the poll results, though. RP comes in lower than all the other big names.

Oh, definite.
He looks like a cleaned up truck driver. Not the good kind. The kind that patronizes all of the truck-stop parking lot businesses.

[Humanae Libertas]

Wow, Romney is the best they can come up with. I guess they want 2 'Big-govt' shills running in 2012.

If either Romney or Palin were to run in 2012, it's pretty much a sure win for Obama.

If Mitt Romney stood beside one of those life-sized cardboard cut-outs of Mitt Romney, I'd be hard pressed to determine which one was the fake.

[libertybrewcity]

Hm, at least 33 people support Ron Paul. That is enough to convert the other 100 something by primary time 2012.

The party seems to be leaning the right way as far as issues. A lot of votes for state sovereignty.

Bailout Bob Corker beat Paul and Palin? :eek:

Anyhow, we've got our work cut out for us. I can't believe Mitt Romney is even a contender. The new meme needs to be Obamacare = Romneycare.

I am so disappointed in my State today because of this. Sigh.

Matt, you may be able to help this, but lets see how the local ( and even national?) media portrays this straw poll.

I bet they will say "Mitt Romney comes out strong in legitimate straw poll" while they say that Ron Pauler's spammed all those he won.

Sickening.

That was good stuff. Thanks for sharing

Bob Corker scored higher than Ron Paul. That's what happens when people vote for the "hometown boy" regardless of his policies.
And what could Tennesseans possibly have in common with Romney?

[Imaginos]

I can't believe Mitt Romney is even a contender.
Believe it.
Special interest groups and neo-cons are heavily invested on Romney just as much as they are backing Sarah Palin.
Romney being Mormon was a negative factor for the establishment PR specialists but since Obama has shown somewhat of reluctancy of starting Iran war, they are grooming Romney as a potential puppet along with Palin and others.
Romney or Palin would make an excellent puppet since both of them are good looking and energetic cheerleader for endless warfare state.
That's why the establishment is backing them.

I've NEVER understood this phenomenon.

I've NEVER understood this phenomenon.

It shows a lack of principles, I think. State pride is more important than policy - even in these perilous times.

Bob Corker has proven to be one of the most anti-liberty politicians that Tennessee has ever sent to the Federal City, imho.

He sickens me on multiple levels. What's even worse is that Tennesseans wont realize it because he has (R) after his name.

This may have started with his inane ads he ran during the senate race:

"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"
"HI I'M BOB CORKER!"

Well Hi, Bob. I'm a sheep who has woke up and is violently tired of you and loathsome leech-like liars like you. It's time for you and your Ilk to fall by the wayside and to have your name printed in the history books, only so that we can take a pen and scratch your name angrily out of each one.
:mad:

[phill4paul]

Romney vs. Obama 2012? If that is the choice then I hope the Mayans were right.

Romney/Palin and the rest of the gop shills= Obama 2nd term. the only way i will encourage anyone to vote republican in 2012 is if Ron Paul or Gary Johnson WIN THE NOMINATION anyone else and i will have to look elsewhere to vote!!

[sailingaway]

There was a Nashville straw poll?

Who knew?

if this is what the gop establishment is up to?? Then the gop deserves to die as a party!! Starts digging the hole to bury them in!!!!

Who in their right mind can't see past this phony blow hard?
He seems so fake and scripted to me.

Then again, what do I know, some people here still buy Glenn Beck...

Glenn Beck fans(a good majority) are brainwashed!!! the simple solution to this is they do not even know they are brainwashed!! hence the term brainwashed, kinda like mini-me bushies!!

hmmm news to me, there are states east of denver??? Wolverines:)

[Matt Collins]

And what could Tennesseans possibly have in common with Romney?It was probably all of the big-government Bill Haslam for Goveror (gun grabber) supporters that were bussed-in and voted for Romney too. Birds of a feather flock together, eh?

[RileyE104]

This is good news to me...

Ron got 33 votes vs Romney's 66.

That has to say something. In 2008 they would have never been saying that Ron Paul has half the support that Romney has.

Come 2012, I am confident that Ron Paul will be considered a very BIG contender for the nomination. After the debates get underway, I would be surprised and disappointed if he doesn't become the front runner, or at least close to it.

[Kregisen]

Is there any chance greater than 0% that somehow, someway, Palin would drop out of the race (she won't make it very far...she'll have her 12-15% in every state) and endorse Ron?


I understand she's the exact opposite on many issues, but she has no principles (she came down to AZ to endorse mccain for senate this year just because he picked her in 08) so maybe, to help her image of "tea-partier" she would drop out and endorse the other faction of the tea party?


I know I'm obviously hoping for something that isn't there but.....is it possible?

If hell froze over and Palin endorsed Ron, Ron could very easily be the frontrunner.




I have no doubt Romney's huge leads will diminish after the first presidential debate....there's no way in hell he'll be leading every by 5-10% every poll once the debates start.

I believe she would but she'd have to renounce her own candidacy. Maybe we could make her an offer she can't refuse...

i have a feeling the gop is going to fall flat on their faces in 2010 elections (except for a few liberty-candidates breaking thru!!! as for 2012, i suspect if the gop does not follow Ron Paul's Platform they will lose again in 2012!!! Ron Paul 2012

the gop is still clueless !!!!
