Which is why I dont think he will get the nod. I have my personal opinions about him. But I am a Dem, so I will keep them out of my posts. I will just say that the "rabid right" isnt done yet... which, I feel, will be the downfall of the GOP once again.

This sincerity comes through in everything he says and will attract many moderates of both parties… In my opinion.

And we can go back to the Bork conformation hearings.

Bork did not have the temperament to be a SCOTUS justice. Also his views on a range of issues were well outside the mainstream. His willing actions in the Saturday Night Massacre proved that. Always keep in mind that 6 Republican senators voted against his nomination. He simply wasn't a good nominee and his anger over being questioned on his writings and public statements only confirmed that.

Q3. Please think ahead now to the next Presidential in four years time, in 2016. If the 2016 Republican presidential
primaries were being held today, for whom of the following would you vote? (Asked of those who self-identified as
Republican or Independent, n=624)

I accept that this was not your premise but read the thread.
The Republicans have to go along with the Dems to survive.
I did not mean they had to flip but the consensus here is that they must become the same as Democrats because all Republicans are stupid and evil.
Again this is not intended as a reflection of your intent.

A 2016 Presidential poll now is worthless.
In 2005 it was a sure thing that Hillary would be the 2008 candidate.

But what are the chances of a moderate running? And, against Clinton if she decides to run.... its not looking good... maybe Christie, to be honest... possibly Ryan... I cant see the rest of them holding up to that race.

I didnt say who would win. Just who it is saying isnt likely to finish the primaries. Sure, it could change.

I can see and I'm sure you can too the slipping of support for the Tea Party fanaticism among the rank and file Republicans. You are hearing the last gasps of a dying movement. The winners will be the moderates I believe anyway.

Status: offline 		Who will win.. or even run.. is still up in the air. I see those types of polls as the parties taking the temperature of their constituents at this point. If Christie doesnt win NJ, how will that affect his polls for Presidental run? Too many variables up in the air. I posted that poll based upon Butch's assertion that Jingal will draw many moderates from both parties. I dont see that happening unless conditions change. If Clinton runs, I dont see that happening at all.

Something interesting to note on the Dem side in that poll as well...

Between March and June....

Clinton 51% 40%
Biden 12% 13%

No one else is even close to those two... and we dont even know if Clinton is running yet.

Clinton isn't the WMD that Democrats think she is. A black President is one thing - a woman is quite another. And I doubt American men will be content with a woman as President.

I'll agree with you on Christie but Paul is a bit out there.
The problem with Christie is he touched a Democrat and liked it once so now he has cooties and, even though I think he'd do a hell of a job, he'll be destroyed by his own party for lack of 'idealogical purity'.

Hillary (or anyone else the D side puts up) doesn't have to be good. They just have to be less odious than whatever Bible thumping batshit crazy nutbag the R side is sure to throw at them.
