Sure, the 2012 election is still a ways off, but the Christian right is about to begin flexing its muscle in the race, with a presidential straw poll scheduled for next week's big Values Voter Summit.

Spearheaded by Family Research Council Action, the summit has become the key annual get-together for conservative Christian activists. After splintering among a handful of candidates in the 2008 Republican primaries, from Mike Huckabee to Mitt Romney to Rudy Giuliani (that's right—Pat Robertson endorsed him) , some Christian right leaders are eager to consolidate movement support behind a single candidate in 2012.

Who do you think will win next week's straw poll?

Us News-The reason any poll you do that involves Sarah Palin gets swamped by repeated votes directed Team Sarah and Conservatives4palin. As you can see the actual results at the Value Voter event shows that 44% said that Plain would be the WORST candidate. That result is totally different than your poll here.mvoting over and over and over again for her on you polls. What a joke.

Mike Huckabee is predicted to win in a landslide like Ronald Reagan won in 1980 with comeback win after a 1976 loss.

Mike Huckabee's popularity continues to skyrocket. His fan base is growing at a phenomenal blistering pace across the country and throughout the world.

Check it out for yourself and google: Huckabee Fan Club
