922012 Candidates - Possible Republican Presidential Candidates
Gallup held a poll on possible 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates. Many people wonder who might actually run. There may be many Presidential hopefuls, but Gallup chose the most likely of these hopefuls.
The list is a short one and not all candidates have even said that they plan on a run for the White House.
I have the 10 people that Gallup placed in their poll.
The obvious possible presidential candidates for many Republicans in 2012 have been Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney. They received the highest amount of votes on the Gallup Poll of the politicians Republicans would most like to see make a run.
Who else made the Gallup Poll of possible Republican presidential candidates?

Ron Paul is a fossil. He'll be lucky to even be alive by 2012, let alone 2016 after 4 years of presidency.
Is that all there is? Hay hay ho ho four more years of Obama.
RON PAUL.
Man this is kinda funny to read.
Romney is hated, because of Romneycare,his flipped flopped positions, and his personality.
Huckabee's chances are hurt do to his past as governor, but not scared yet.
Bobby Jindal is boring and he wont risk losing his spot as governor, because reelection in his state is 6 weeks before Iowa.
Sarah Palin 2012 hahahhahahahhahah I like her, but she lost her chance when she resigned.
Charlie Crist will lose to Marco Rubio for senate. So I would just replace Crist spot with Rubio.
Lindsey Graham is just like Mccain. Not a good thing.
Rudy Guiliani is running for senate and he'll win hands down.
The General I respect and like, but he doesn't want to run. Maybe VP.
Jeb Bush will be killed in the overall election.
Newt Gingrich has no special quality about him and he's not very conservative.
Real Candidates
Gary Johnson is awesome and will be great.
Jeff Flake is very good.
Jim Demint is the leader Republicans need and want.
And a couple others,but I'm tired.
You know I saw a lot of support for Ron Paul in my area of Illinois, but he never got the votes. I believe he is probably too honest for the Republican Party to ever put up as their candidate. It would kind of like Kucinich getting the nod for the Democrats. Both of them, while light years apart in philosophies, are just too close to the core and not corrupt enough to buy the delegates needed to win.
I guess we get what we allow ourselves to put up with.
That said, Sarah Palin is making headway and news. I wonder if she will get the GOP nod or go really rogue with a third party????
Cheers!
Chef Jeff
Any poll that omits the GOP candidate that made financial contribution records in '08 is a fraud.
But then, we knew that from how they treated Ron Paul last time, don't we?
As far as I know, the media owners in this country are still the same. How sad to see this country be taken over by so much fraud, deception, and selfishness. How sad indeed.
Well, as we see Ron's predictions about what's going to happen to the $$ come to fruition, the idiots who ignore him will remember what they did to the only candidate who would have truly helped them. I imagine that the grief this realization will bring them will cause many of them to commit suicide. Silly little peons. Think your masters give one hoot about you? Yet you do their bidding as you try to smear and conceal the last remaining real hope for this nation. Shame on you. You deserve all that your masters will inflict upon you.
Who is Ron Paul?
I will NOT vote for Mit Romney and many others won't either!
We did not forhet Mit Romney to direct his supporters to vote for Obama in last election so he could run in 2012!
II will vote for any of the other Republican candidates hhowever the Republican Party will have their very best with a fresh new candidate with business experience.
THAT IS , Senator JOHN THUNE of SD.
John Thune will win by a land slide in 2012 vs. Obama!
He is young, carizmatic, attractive, highly educated and has real solutions for health care reform and businesses.
I would love to see Newt named chairman of the GOP. He expresses himself well and his views match mine but I don't think he is electable. However, he would be the perfect party chairman.
I'm leaning toward John Boehner as the best Republican candidate. Why aren't we hearing more about him? I could never support Lindsey Graham, he's way too political and nearly conservative enough for me.
I think Governor Luis Fortuno is a great for Hispanic Vote in 2012 ticket!
I don't trust Booby Jindal. He looks weak and he's got those shifty eyes. I agree, no military men, no Bush men, and most of the others on this list have had their time in the spotlight and made too many mistakes and need to move on. Agree, Palin is a joke and hurts her party. We need a very strong, brilliant, confidant and Young person to take our country back to where it needs to be!
Sarah Palin needs to get out of the spotlight. She's a train wreck and she's leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth. She's hurting her party. Is that her agenda possibly??
I liked Sarah Palin .....until I heard her talk! I would be deeply embarrassed if an airhead like this made it to the White House. It just goes to show how inept Mc Cain was to chose her for his running mate, what was he thinking?
Sarah has many talents, she is a beautiful woman, she would do well in some other field other than politics.
Check out former Senator Rick SANTORUM of Pennsylvania. He's Young, good looking (that does make a difference in an election), smart, knows the political arena. He may be THE MAN to beat obama in 2012!!
None of these people. PLease come up with a candidate that is Young, Charismatic, can deliver a speech and knows how to run a capitalist country! A military man won't make it.
Sarah Palin #1?? She might make a good candidate for a toothpaste ad model.
If I were a Republican I would pick Romney or possibly Gingrich. I'm not so Sarah Palin is my first choice with Glenn Beck or Rush as her running mate.
What a bunch of NEOCONS and Numskils.
Where's Ron Paul, Jim DeMint or Chuck Baldwin?
Mandate 'Big Government Corporate Raider' Mitt.. You gotta be kidding me? That clown totally screwed up Massachusetts and corporations across the globe... we won;t even get into his "Whispers" during presidential debates or Caucus voting fraud.
Mike 'Holy Cross' Huckabee? The only good out to this Crusader swinging the cross wrapped in the flag is that he got his "Deliverance" Teeth fixed... he's still a Silver-Tongued Devil Preacher.
Charlie Christ: is a Zionist Boot Licking Neocon
Lindsey Graham: is a Closet Gay Imperialist Lawyer that should be recalled from the US Senate. Enough said of Southern Fried Scum.
Sarah Palin: Never have I've seen a politician talk faster than she thinks... well Senator Byrd from WV does, but he only has a couple cells left.
Jeb Bush: Read My Lips... No More BUSHs!
Bobby Jindal: To Corrupt for the presidency, maybe US Senate in Illinois is a better fit for Jindal
General Patreus: Stick with playing with your toy and EXPENDABLE toy soldiers.Not a clue what a Republican stands for...Duh
Rudy Ghouliana: By Far the Worst of the Bunch and this NEOCON Attorney with bad dentures is still riding the 3000+ death souls of 9/11.
Newt Gingrich: We've had enough of your mouth and fraud. Look at the new Boss same as the Old Boss. Tainted Old RINO Blood.
Well there's the lineup in the big NEOCON Swirling Porcelain Bowl of Losers in the Grand Old Pathetics...
Is this the MSM Lefties picking the GOP LOSER competition again with that "Rigged" Poll?
