What's the matter FM? Are you afraid to nominate Michele Bachmann? According to you Obama is doomed and you agree with Miss Michele on everything so what's your reservation?

PPP is certainly pushing the Bachmann narrative. Guess they are scared of Romney.

Lets see PPP was the most accurate pollster in 2010, but now they must have forgotten how to poll. Keep trying to push your narrative though. Good Luck!

Most accurate in 2010?

If you can provide a link, I'll give you a dollar.

Only the early contests are set - IA cacus Feb 6, NH primary Feb 14, SC and NV caucus between then and March 6. All the rest will be later March - June. PA will probably be April.

I am even taking bets that Romney will be the nominee, with high stakes of huge odds that could cost me a lot of money if Bachmann or one of the other candidates actually won.

The GOP will not make the same crazy mistakes in 2012 against Obama that they did in Delaware and NV, and some extent Colorado, picking extreme candidates. Had they picked the more electable ones, Democrats would not control the senate.

I just can't see even Karl Rove letting Bachmann be the nominee. If she looked like she was going to be the nominee, I think it would be Rove himself, who would destroy her, because he knows she would get killed in a general.

Is this a joke? I mean, it seems a bit shocking since, SC had Romney up considerably on his opponents. Seriously, are SC Republicans more practical than PA Republicans? PA is a state I figured Romney would be a lock.

Nevertheless, PPP has not done PA very well before, since there was one poll with Santorum 1 point behind Obama once. For those progressives who hope that Mittens may not be the nominee, I wouldn't let this poll get your hopes up too much.
