Romney trounces Perry in Michigan GOP straw poll
From National Journal -
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. - In a rout, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney trounced Rick Perry and the rest of the GOP field to win the National Journal Hotline/National Association of Home Builders Straw Poll of GOP activists attending a weekend conference in Michigan. Romney received 51 percent of the 681 votes cast, a whopping 34-percentage point victory over second-place Perry, who garnered 17 percent. It was the second straight defeat for Perry in a straw poll, after he finished second in another contest Saturday in Florida. The twin disappointments, along with weak debate performances, have raised questions about whether the Texas governor will remain the perceived front-runner in the GOP nomination fight. Romney grew up in suburban Detroit and in the Michigan governor's mansion; his father, George Romney, served as the state's chief executive from 1963 to 1969. Michigan is likely to hold its presidential nomination contest on Feb. 28, a week before Super Tuesday. It is also an important state in the general election contest. Both Romney and Perry addressed the conference Saturday, and while Perry took subtle digs at his GOP rival, Romney denounced President Obama's economic leadership. "I just don't think he's equipped for what's happening," the former Massachusetts governor said. Third place in the Hotline straw poll went to former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, who won the Florida poll Saturday. He received 9 percent of the votes among Michigan Republican activists. Among the other vote-getters: · Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, 8 percent · Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, 4 percent. · Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia, 4 percent. · Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, 3 percent · Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, 2 percent. |

Good. As Harvard/Yale have a **** poor record. Need someone not from the old boys golden handshake club. Perry is an old boys school puppet. Too bad liberal fleabagg'in left so much hates women, I still think Bachmann would make an excellent choice. I prefer honesty and integrity to pandering any time. As why is really wrong with DC is they have no integrity and loaded with dishonor. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging. So in the hole, why do we insanely want more debt? |

You are as dumb as a post. |

You are as dumb as a post. What, that fear of women making you smear? We know from your previous posts about your hate for empowered women that don't need old boys club hand-ups to make it. So did a woman ride or fire your for incompetence in the past? But yes, I keep getting Perry and Romney mixed up, Perry is Texas A&M - my bad. They almost look like they could be brothers. Harvard successful types: Barack Obama - US President, head of the biggest debtor of them all. Michael Ignatieff - LPC Leader, wants more debt and taxes and lost. Paul Stern - Former NorTel CEO that started the NorTel screw-up. Rick Wagoner - Former GM CEO, bankrupt. Robert Nardelli - Chrysler CEO, bankrupt. Stephen Feinberg - Cerberus/Chrysler and GMAC, bankrupt. See the pattern? Enron too.. a long history of Harvard screw ups and debt corruption, it isn't just corrupt NA auto. Harvard leaders are not all they are cracked up to be, in fact I consider it a liability. Harvard sure is no guarantee of success, and for many, just corruption. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging. So in the hole, why do we insanely want more debt? |
