    Just thought this could be interesting. I'll do a tally at the end of the week perhaps. No explanations needed, if you had to rank the Republican candidates in the order you would vote for them, what would it be?

    My list:

    1) Ron Paul
    2) Gary Johnson
    3) Herman Cain
    4) Mitt Romney
    5) Jon Huntsman
    6) Newt Gingrich
    7) Michelle Bachman
    8 ) Rick Perry
    9) Rick Santorum

    Ron Paul
    Newt Gingrich
    Herman Cain
    Mitt Romney
    Jon Huntsman
    Rick Perry
    Rick Santorum
    Gary Johnson
    Michelle Bachman

    Thanks so far, curious to see what this poll will look like after 20 or 30 people weight in.

    Pretty much from normal to extreme, with Paul the exception. Gotta love an educated zealot and a man who sticks to his heart!

    1) Herman Cain
    2) Rick Perry
    3) other


    I like and dislike the others in varying degrees, but they all have major flaws that make them difficult to rank without simply ranking them in order from least incapable to most incapable (i.e. Gingrich's lack of commitment, Santorum's timidity, Ron Paul's loony "blame America" views on the middle east, etc.).

    I do think I would put Romney at the bottom, though.

    We know this poll is stuffed.

    Paul # 1 as always.

    the rest are whores.
    Great polling data mining.

    But for balance as in reality check.:mrgreen:

    1. Romney
    2. Pawlenty ..my 1st VP choice.
    3. Christie..my 2nd VP choice.
    4. Perry..If not Romney
    5. Ron Paul.. My 1st choice for the new Secretary of the treasury..the 5 th most powerful position and the one he is best suited for..( and you would all agree if he doesn't win the presidency )
    5.1/2. Cain.. Reality and lack of experience will defeat him going froward.
    6. Huntsman. For any statesman position.
    7. Santorum .. Possible west wing position.
    8. Gary Johnson..cant figure out any spot for him.
    9. Bachmann. Go back to congress and try to survive.
    10. Newt ..Never ..again..I am a conservative..and I didn't like the way he ran things as # 3 ..corruption ...political pay offs.. money influence..
    Lies ..cheating..typical politician we all wanted to get away from.

    I know Paul will come first due to his online support base, should be interesting to see who else ranks well if we can keep this going for a while.

    This is difficult because I can't imagine voting for any of them except Johnson... and I wouldn't vote him for president.

    1. Johnson
    2. Romney
    3. Huntsman
    4. Perry
    5. Paul
    6. The Newt
    7. Cain
    Tied for 8. Bachmann and Santorum

    I wouldn't vote for a single one over Obama.
    And I wouldn't vote for my #8 choices even if the opposition was an alien overlord threatening to enslave us all (which I suppose is how the far-right nutjobs classify Obama).

    1. Romney
    2. Rubio
    3. Christie
    4. Paul Ryan
    5. Michael Reagan
    6. Rush Limbaugh & Ann Coulter as...veep
    7. Cain
    8. Gingrich
    9. Santorum
    10. Bachman & Palin Overdrive as....veep

    You may have noticed that I tapped into a list of America's most Conservative potentials. All the rest from the current crop are either wannabes, RINOs, moderates or totally off their rockers including Perry.
