He's still not enough of a name to include against Obama every time.

Unlike Huck and Palin he's definitely running, and could plausibly win both the primary and the general.<br /><br />2. If you're going to poll Giffords you should either just do a favorable/unfavorable question or preface a horse-race question (Giffords v. Flake, Giffords v. Salmon, etc) with something like "assuming that Giffords makes a full recovery". Otherwise I suspect a lot of people wouldn't know how to answer that question, because it isn't clear what sort of shape she will be in.sacman701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-72093487219300345852011-04-05T15:47:04.004-05:002011-04-05T15:47:04.004-05:00Trump for bonus RepublicanTrump for bonus RepublicanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-9551170410211083682011-04-05T15:14:41.522-05:002011-04-05T15:14:41.522-05:00Dustin,

I could probably get a few friends from HucksArmy or Team Huck to help. We have a pretty good group in my neighboring state that might be interested in some of the local races as well.<br /><br />I voted for Iowa because I'd like to see if Pawlenty, Gingrich, and/or Bachmann have picked up any support with their visits.<br /><br />I'm not opposed to any of the choices though.

There we actually have 3 top tier candidates emerging: Jay Inless, Dow Constantine and Rob McKenna. We might also have an interesting race for Lt. Governor. There is no serious challenger to Cantwell on the horizon. Although her approval rating was only 38% in March 2010, it had risen to over 50% by Jan 2011. Her rising approval makes it unlikely that either Reichert or McMorris Rogers will consider the race.MaryPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345620535560615863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-66657033265650742382011-04-05T13:50:51.278-05:002011-04-05T13:50:51.278-05:00You have to poll Trump...he's second in NH, an...You have to poll Trump...he's second in NH, and fairly well known, so most voters should have an opinion.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-42275352745940097352011-04-05T13:49:48.469-05:002011-04-05T13:49:48.469-05:00with the trump N.H. poll where he looks really goo...with the trump N.H. poll where he looks really good i think he should be our bonus republican this mounthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-74810525339927398312011-04-05T13:37:46.853-05:002011-04-05T13:37:46.853-05:00You should probably start including Gary Johnson i...You should probably start including Gary Johnson in your polling.
