Who would elect -- you may select anybody who you would plausibly vote for.

Alright Bleeds ... how the hell do you reconcile Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich?

odd, those were my two choices too.

Those are the ones I'd consider. The others present a depressing set of choices, insofar as I know them.

HIllary Clinton should be on these lists.

She is.

Barack Obama [D] - I

She was last time and got 0 votes. I continually shuffle out naught guys for new people. Chris Christie is on deck for whichever GOP'er gets 0 votes (I imagine Jeb will be it)

Meant to vote Ron Paul and Gary Johnson, but only the Johnson vote counted. Probably operator error.

Newt is talking the talk so far. I am at this point willing to forgive someone who is a social/moral conservative if they can right the economic ship. While I don't agree with everything he says fiscally, a lot of what he says makes some sense and I could get on board. Same reason I clicked on Mittens as well. He's a social nazi, but besides his healthcare fiasco, I like his economic policies.

He couldn't tell Matt Lauer ONE THING he was willing to cut. He said he wouldn't touch medicare or social security. FAILLLLLLLLLLL.

He talked the talk in the 90's too, but failed to deliver. Fool me once...

I wasn't even 10 years old when the Contract with America thing happened, I have yet to read up on his past since he isn't actually running yet. Right now I'm full bore Ron Paul. But there are others I'd consider if Ron Paul is portrayed by other Republicans as crazy and get's knocked out in the primaries again.

Same age here. Yes, like many R's, Newt said all the things you'd want to hear, then got drunk on power. I will not vote for any GOP establishment candidate that tries to delegitimize Paul though.

Rudy, Mitt, Newt, or Tim. The way things are these days we might be better off with no president at all but at least these guys will lessen the pain.

I'll put it this way ... if Newt is the nominee, I will lead a scorched earth policy fight to punish Republicans as much as possible. I would vote for Obama just to punish the GOP before I voted for Newt. I would fight for a Ron Paul third party run, too.

When you look toward Iowa, what do you see?

I have no idea. Nobody has polled to see just how much traction Paul as gained since the election. Or, more appropriately, how many people have stopped playing the "he can't win so I'm voting for..." game and will now vote with who they were with all along.

We better pay more attention to the primary process like never before, or else I may be forced to vote Ob...... <hard gulp, with taste of vomit>, I can't say it.
