The results of such a poll right now could impact the 2012 Iowa GOP caucuses tremendously.<br /> Ask Democrats and Independents about thier willingness to support Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. This would neutralize automatic opposition to her at this point in time--especially among Obama supporters. On the other hand, it might also reveal an underlying "buyers' remorse" among the people that MADE Obama's candidacy in 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-3804942044768435102011-08-20T14:43:23.287-05:002011-08-20T14:43:23.287-05:00At some point Jon Huntsman should be tested as a t...At some point Jon Huntsman should be tested as a third party candidate against Obama and Romney, Perry, Bachmann.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-6374166379396571712011-08-19T14:17:44.672-05:002011-08-19T14:17:44.672-05:002012 and 2016 Democratic caucus numbers.
