  Where the economic issues reign supreme, it will be Mitt. Newt and Ron are too extreme. Newt has lost all traction before he got a real start and Ron never can get any traction with voters. With only 15 voters, let's see how things change.

  With 52 votes counted, Romney pulls ahead with just over 30%!

  At 112 voters [many duplicates no doubt. But I only voted once] we have a commanding lead for Mitt Romney. Santorum has yet to get into gear and Gingrich stalled even before he went of on his Greek Island tour. Looks like my pick of Romney is proving to be popular if not correct. Let's see what his stated stances on climate change [Rush cut him to the quick on that one] on Romney Care [his trying hard to distance himself from that success] and right to choose [a real hot potato, but he's correct there, too] does leading up to next year's Iowa Caucuses. Wisely Mitt's staying away from the straw polls. He'll need more time to complete his conversion from Mitt 1.0 to Mitt 2.0. I like the 1.0 version, but apparently that version is no longer operating!

  These polls are useless when they are deliberately slanted. Why is there no option for "none of the above"?

  No, it does not. "Other" would mean that there in an actual person not listed who I would choose to vote for. That would be an inaccurate answer.

  And you don't know me well enough to call me a genius.

  With 126 votes cast by perhaps 50 people, Romney prevails.

  And Trans, whether or not there exists some person anywhere in the world whom you would or would not vote for, "other" is the catch all category. I voted to express my opinion that Romney would stand the best chance to beat President Obama and seperately said that I think I could vote from him [i.e. version 1.0, but perhaps not version 2.0 into which he is about to morph]. As things stand today, I'd predict a low turnout and that the President would prevail. Yet the best answer is still Romney, not "Other" or any of the rest. Notice I said best answer not best candidate.
