Who will win the Republican Nomination?

[IM4given]

The race is turning literally into the "Tortoise and the Hare" - slow and steady wins the race! Go Ron Paul!

Ron Paul will have a hard time winning in Arkansas for he is not on the ballot. Wonder how many more he is not on?

Did you see the news that some Republicans are worried that Ron Paul could possible pull off a win in Nevada?

It seems no Republican candidate has set foot in Nevada in about two months and Ron Paul is the only candidate to run any ads in Nevada.

Wouldn't that be interesting if yet another Republican candidate won a State!

This is the article regarding the dark horse I referenced earlier.

The most fascinating horse-race metaphor that may emerge in this campaign is the "dark horse," a well-recognized label for a long-shot candidate who was not in what is now called the top tier. A dark horse's chance of winning the nomination depends on a deadlock among the leading candidates who are unable to race across the finish line with a majority of delegates.

A recent New York Times/CBS News poll reported that not one of the Republican candidates is viewed favorably by even half the Republican electorate. There is no clear leader: Giuliani was the choice of 22 percent of respondents, Huckabee of 21 percent, Romney of 16 percent, and McCain and Thompson each had 7 percent.

Among Republican respondents, 76 percent say they could still change their minds about whom to support. Maybe that's because all five leading candidates are globalists and none of them has a solution for the problem of millions of Americans who have lost jobs or had their wages depressed because of unfair trade agreements, outsourcing of jobs overseas, and insourcing foreign workers.

The whole article is interesting to read. It really makes you wonder...if there's a dark horse, who would it be? Could it be possible that Ron Paul will end up pulling off the nomination, simply because of the lack of a clearly defined nominee? No-one in the media thinks he can win, so he would definitely be a dark horse. Or maybe it would be someone we haven't even thought about. Garfield sure didn't expect to even be nominated, let alone win, in 1880.

Huckabee got Iowa...I think that gives him the edge. I don't see a Mormon getting the nomination.

I might vote for Thompson but haven't decided yet. Our primary still isn't for awhile.

I noticed you left the candidate that you endorsed, Alan Keyes, out of your own poll - why is that? Has he dropped out?

That is because this thread has absolutely nothing to do with who you are voting for. I do not let my choice of candidate blind me from reality.

Touchy touchy Matt... :Bleh

Not at all, since I started the thread, I'm trying to keep it on topic. :duh
