Uncertainty Dominates GOP Race With Primaries Looming

Dig beneath the surface of the raucous Republican presidential race and you will find even deeper turmoil: Four in 10 GOP voters have switched candidates in the past month alone, and nearly two-thirds say they may change their minds again.

None of the GOP candidates has reason to feel secure, according to an ongoing national survey conducted for The Associated Press and Yahoo! News.

That includes Mike Huckabee, who has roared to a tie with longtime front-runner Rudy Giuliani. Half of all voters -- including four in 10 Republicans -- know too little about Huckabee to even say whether they have a favorable impression of him, let alone whether he is conservative, liberal or moderate.

That could give his rivals the opportunity to define him. Witness Mitt Romney's criticism of the former Arkansas governor on immigration and Fred Thompson's contention that he raised taxes "like a Democrat."

NO UNCERTAINTY about Ron Paul

I have noticed that Ron Paul is becoming more and more popular, I suppose the has to be a reason. Chances are that there are new comers to the political process who have actually listened to him instead of these blow hards with their own agenda and have found something more than rhetoric and double talk. If they are able to vote for the first time and are not allowing themselves to be coerced into taking the other guys word for, which has gotten us no where, e.g., WMD,etc., then I hope Ron Paul has enough support to follow through on those things he could practicably succeed at.

Huckabee's hunting prowess was admired by Iowa's Amish men, but they still ain't stickin' those damn bumper stickers on the horse's a$$...it'd be REDUNDANT!

PLAY...Crackpot Jackpot

I wonder if their are any repubs out there who are looking at their "leadership" and what has been accomplished since Bush took office and saying to themselves, "Wait a sec. Something is terribly wrong with this picture." The wealthy seem to gravitate towards the repubs, but I wonder how much they truly benefit, as opposed to when the dems are running the show. My sister, who makes quite a bit more money than I ever will, got the same "tax refund" from Bush as I did. So all of those people who think they (and the economy) are better off run by the repubs do so despite the prepodernace of evidence to the contrary. The repubs habitually bankrupt the country. Clinton, the evil guy, dug it out of debt,only to have W. rack up the biggest debt yet.

To the person earlier who alluded to Clinton "being willing to do anything to be president," maybe so, but this makes him different from every republican president (and candidate) how exactly? The repubs hate Hillary not because of what she might do or what she has done, but simply because of her last name. If that were the only criteria, the Bush family, who way back in the forties were already profiteering off their financial dealings with the Nazi Regime (google it), should not only be permanently barred from running for any office ever again, but should be sterilized to spare the country any more from the plague of their genetic outflow.

There was a recent photo of a young Bush, a nephew I believe, who was already expressing his political aspirations. He looked every bit the shallow party animal as W. himself.

If there are any republicans reading this, please look at what your guy has done to the planet and consider changing your vote. Can you honestly say that we are better off than we were under Clinton and should have been under Gore? The repub philosophies border on the fascistic, or as W. once said: "The Consititution is a goddamn piece of paper."

Everyone votes their "heart" in the primaries, then gets behind the nominee.

Easy as ABC...Anybody But Clinton.

Or should I add: ABBC...Anybody But Baracko or Clinton.

Yah, tis good.

I'm sure it's getting abit crowded under That so called big tent, Imagine the afternoon company picnic...Jesus freaks on one side preachin what they Know is not fact, Then on the other side, The corparate Thugs talking about merger's and how to further fleece the people but hoping they don't get "treated" to a religious rant. In that far corner there is a few fella's mixing it up over the lastest o'reilly war, and in the center of the room there are your family republicans, only fault is their daddy told them they were republican and spoke of a party from long ago.
Those of us who are outside looking in...are laughing because your all idiots.

P.S. Carl Rove was witnessed setting your tent on fire late afternoon because No one would play hackysack with him lol

Ghouliani,Rottey and Huckleberry what a pathetic bunch for the poor G.O.P. ,wow what low life will they like to promote for their hate and fear and fascist propaganda agenda

[thegreatgiginthesky]

there is uncertainty among repukes because they know that no matter who they choose the nation will suffer.

[randyw]

GWBOOSH only has a 32% approval rating and I always felt that the BOOSH administration was "scaping the bottom of the barrel" then these sorry ass bunch of losers come along!!!
The entire GOP has been uncertain since we invaded Iraq bqck in'03 but you can count on the braindead to support whatever loser comes out on top!

[ljsfolly]

With Ms Bhutto dead now the wild wild show begins. Lets have a huge dose of Fear Factor along with the Great Race then the cooking shows chime in with how much can be mixed up, tossed then thrown at us. Then Faux news reports the stories "The Terrorists Are In Our Country and Will Attack US", "Bin Laden Has Began WWIII with the Nukes He Got in Pakistan", "We Must Save Ourselves" "Pray and Join The Military". We all know what these nuts will say to promote their idealogies about the world and now terror is going to be front page. The woman might have done good this time but didn't do so good the last 2 times. Bin Laden walks freely as he has during all of bush years so who will take up a gun and go after him and not small animals. Not one has been able to show future thinking about anything we have wrong at home or the war bush made in Iraq.

Too bad Ron Paul feels as need to align himself with the Republican party. Ordinarily you might think a man willing to bend over for a strike at being in vogue would amount to nothing more than a vacillating, wishy washy puke like Rudy but I think Ron Paul is on to something.
He sure has made some people a little more than annoyed so right there I like him. And if you actually listen to him instead of these gaseous windbags who try to intimidate others with their narrow minded rhetoric you might find Ron Paul is saying what needed to be said for a long time.
He couldn't be heard with all the fascists trying to drown him out but he's resilient and who knows, he might surprise more than a few people.
I personally think the fascists have gotten by with their typically one sided shit so long now that people have forgotten the difference. Here's a chance to figure it out for yourself watch this.
