Which Republican would make the strongest opponent against Obama?

[kentuck]

Poll question: Which Republican would make the strongest opponent against Obama?

[GomezLives]

1. I say Romney

[Motown_Johnny]

2. +1

[jmowreader]

3. Romney signed a bill similar to Obama's HCR program. He's dead.

At this point the strongest candidate is Huckabee and he's got so much baggage he's probably got "Samsonite" tattooed across his ass.

[trof]

6. And 'Mormon' is a killer with the 'vangies. BTW...

Love your 'Samsonite' metaphor, or whatever you call it.
Spot on!

29. short chubby guys don't do well on TV, and standing next to a tall thin guy

it gets worse


All the candidates have fatal flaws. Romney can bring Michigan into play (because of his father) as well as some western states and maybe even force more spending in MA and surrounding states, so I give him the nod. I don't see Huckabee playing anywhere but in the south and the dark red plain states.

4. the strongest opponent is pathetically weak

[blizz]

5. After reading Woodward's latest book I think General Petreaus (if he ran) would be the biggest task

[Cid_B]

26. Woof....

Don't think it will happen this time around though.

[simonisme]

7. Barbour is out of the running

So i picked the sane choice..Palin

[Blue_In_AK]

8. Mitt Romney is the only one who seems even remotely sane. n/t

[Mojambo]

9. Huckabee. n/t

[Annata4Peace]

10. Ron Paul's anti-war message could really hurt Obama

[peace frog]

14. Yes, he would attract independents and

if Nader is his running mate, could attract progressives as well. Not a bad thing if it moves Obama considerably to the left in order to hold onto his base.

[EstimatedProphet]

28. And I bet his racism will be a selling point too!

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. The ex-Gov, ex-Ambassador to China who Obama appointed to that post

Of course that is among the many reasons he won't get the nomination, but he would match up best.

[sorcrow]

12. Abe Lincoln? n/t

[IDemo]

13. My choice, or Eisenhower n/t

[doc03]

15. The Republicans will end up drafting Chris Christie n/t

[abelenkpe]

16. Ron Paul

would be the strongest candidate. Racist conspiracy nutty libertarian is the real darling of the right.

[JI7]

17. Romney,maybe Huckabee

i think Huckabee would come across personally well which might make the things we can use against him not as effective.

[JuniperLea]

18. Mittens...

And he hasn't a snow ball's chance.

[anarch]

19. Barack Obama

if the Republicans have any sense, they'll just nominate him as their candidate.

[Keith Bee]

20. Rimshot!

I don't agree with your view, but funny is funny! :-)

[mnhtnbb]

21. I don't think the final opponent has been identified yet. I agree that

the person will end up 'drafted' by the Repubs, but I have no idea who it might be.

[TheFarseer]

22. Romney, I think

people will think we need someone to fix the economy.

[Zoeisright]

23. Mickey Mouse.

[blondeatlast]

24. a while ago I would have said John Kyl but he kinda blew that outta the water, so Romney. nt

[louslobbs]

25. Huckabees Squirrels were not fried, he cooked them in a popcorn popper, he couldn't have fried

Squirrel, because he was on a diet and fried squirrel has many more calories and fat than popped squirrel. I personally think a squirrel would make a better opponent than Huckabee. Besides, who would vote for a man, who blocked investigations into his son David and a friends, hanging of a dog by the neck, slitting the dogs throat, and finally, stoning the poor hanging dog to death? What kind of man would block the prosecution of such a horrible act? What kind of man, after the fact, would fire the head of the state police who "did not help Huckabee with "that" problem he had with his son?" So, I'd vote for Obama, but it would be close if there were a Republican squirrel running against him, because for me, a squirrel even a Republican one would have more integrity, more compassion, more honesty than any former governor (Fox/Gop) bloviator, Mike Huckabee and his Klan of Huckabees will ever have.

27. None of the above. Obama will win easily.

n/t

[rucky]

30. Huckabee or Pawlenty

[JoePhilly]

31. Zombie Reagan, or Stem-cell Cloned Reagan, which ever comes back first.

[formernaderite]

32. Chris Christi in the other category

he's too much of a loud mouth for my tastes... but I work with blue collar construction guys, and they like him. But I believe he's not running...yet.

[TheBigotBasher]

33. None

[Shandris]

34. Why isn't there an entry for the only REAL Republican contender?

I don't see 'ham sandwich' listed ~anywhere~!
