Your analysis of the results of the FRC straw poll leaves out too much, and relies too much on assumptions based on no data.

AS far as Romney v Huckabee, have you considered that since Romney spoke on Friday, and many of his supporters may very well have left before the on-site polling, they could quite reasonably have been voting online. Huck's supporters were far more likely to have been on site for the vote Saturday, since he spoke shortly prior. Your assertion that the 600 online votes from attendees don't count for anything is far too simplistic - they could just as easily, and just as reasonably, have been mainly for Romney, which would put him close to or above Huck in the attendees column.

What the results of the poll show, without doubt, is that both Thompson and Giuliani wowed no one. OUCH.

Well, zenodaddy, hate to burst your neat little world view, but I am not a liberal. Been Republican since birth, would likely be considered quite conservative by most people. But I can also think outside of the nice tidy box that conservative "Christians" have put themselves into.

Bush didn't free anyone, except freed them to become 'martyrs' and death squads, collateral damage, and smears on the pavement. What kind of freedom is that?

While I have no doubt that was not his intent, it was his end result, and it was foreordained due to his messianic vision of himself and unwillingness to face reality.

And yes, according to me, Romney is the finest R. to run in decades. He indeed has somewhat changed some public positions to appeal to the hard right wacknuts. But so has Thompson, and Huckabee, and Paul, and GWB. The real reason this article is even posted has nothing to do with political positions, it has to do with Romney's religion. Which, again, makes me sick that that happens in this country.

Mitt will address whatever issue he must - while an honorable man with a powerful sense of his own spiritual beliefs, he also is pragmatic enough to do the necessary thing. But the very idea that a man, full of courage, devotion to correct living, highly intelligent and experienced, and as President someone the country can finally be very proud of - in other words the finest Republican candidate in decades, yet he is unelectable due to some amorphous lingering doubts about his religion, sickens me to the core.

The far right religious wackos (to which Mormons do NOT belong) gave us George W. Bush - Unable to make a correct decision when that is all he has before him. Well, you got what you deserved. But the rest of the country deserves far far better.
