RP is showing some life as a real candidate but I don't see him as a viable candidate for the Republican base and, more importantly, not viable with swing voters who, as usual, will decide the outcome of the 2012 election.

Personally, I'm in a quandary about who to actually support at the moment; I don't like Newt (as a President) and like Romney even less...that pretty much leaves me with Michelle B as a choice (which ironically is where I started a few months ago!).

I haven't been truly excited about a Presidential candidate since Ronald Regan - it's been a long, dry spell and this election doesn't look as if it's going to change that.

Really what is the point to straw polls?

Often times, I think their primary purpose is to give Ron Paul supporters something to feel good about.

We might all be better served to go into a voting booth with no idea who is leading these polls.

Too many people vote using "voting for the winner" as their criteria.
