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

Sarah has owned the moral high ground in all her attacks. She had Letterman apologizing after a 10 minute interview with Matt Lauer. She had her legal council put away MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, and Huffington Post after the ludicrous embezzlement charge.(How many politicians can say that?) After her resignation speech, there were headlines asking " Where is Sarah". Much like the Mark Sanford headlines. If Sanford was ethical, he would have been hiking the Appalachian trails, not in Argentina. Sarah, on the other hand, Twitered her whereabouts. She was at a 4th of july parade with the family.

Sarah is the only real conservative in the bunch. Everyone else is afraid of her. I did not want to vote for McCain but I did when Sarah got on the ticket. Looks like there are more like me out there. Mitt is a liberal pretending to be a conservative when it meets his needs.

I think Bobby Jyndal has a chance. Sarah Palin cannot get elected. She has some real fans but not enough. She should support the candidate and then be nominated to be secretary of something in the administration. She has a lot of common sense that Washington needs but she comes across too country.

I admire and value the religious, but they were bigots who held Mitt Romney back in 2008, just because is a Mormon. Mike Huckabee, a supposedly religious man, helped do this !

Look, values do count but I want a person who will defend the Constitution, be a fan and provider of free enterprise solutions. I want someone who will defeat Islamofascism. I want someone who is not a socialist pacifist like so many Dem demagogues. I want someone who will protect our borders. I want someone who will defend our liberties not coopt them. I want an education system which is not a leftist brainwashing effort. I want a Pub who actually believes in freedom and Pub principles like Reagan. I do not want a leftist Dem who will wreck our economy and our military and our culture.

Quit confuzing love for God with love for your issues. God doesn't give a damn about your issues. If you love your neighbors as you love yourself then you will do your best to avoid shoving your tennis balls down their throats.

1-0 God wins again!

You know, I'm sick and tired of the republican party basing everything on our "morals & values". Why not man up on the issue and just say out loud that they're vetting potential candidates for their Christian faith, thus their love of and belief in Jesus? As a lifelong republican, I've grown to detest our party. The president leads the executive branch of the U.S. government, and is therefore A SECULAR OFFICE. Read the constitution, you morons... there is to be no religious test for any office in the U.S. government, and it's high time we shut the f*@# up about our personal religios beliefs regarding any and all government positions. Any questions? By the way, it's because of George Bush and his holier-than-thou neoconservative evangelist buddies that led to the loss in '08. People hate others moralizing to them, and the sooner the republicans figure that out, the better they'll be.
