Exactly who is pushing McCain? I don't see much support for him in any poll I've seen among Republicans on the web yet I keep hearing he is third behind Rudy and Mitt (or even second behind Rudy). Far as I can tell, he's in third tier land along with Paul and some others.

Is it the MSM that is pushing McCain as a candidate?

I agree. McCain is the worst RINO of any of the candidates. His insistence that amnesty is not amnesty makes him a joke. Anybody who sides with The Chappaquiddick Kid belongs in The DemocRAT party.

Thanks for adding my top choice for nominee, Ron Paul, to your poll! :D Hurrah!!!

My preferred GOP candidate is Brownback. My second is Romney.

Since yesterday, its seems the Ron Paul crowd (aka Democrats) has not only been pumping up his vote, but voting down Rudy. Could it be they are unhappy with his smack back against Paul's notion that our bombing Iraq was the cause of 9/11? Don't these Democrats realize that it was Bill Clinton who bombed Iraq before 9/11. Are they blaming Clinton for 9/11? IRONY

Yes, benedict McCain doesn't stand a chance. I think Rudy is also too liberal aside from his stand on the WOT. Without Fred Thompson in the race, Romney looks like the best candidate.

First off, Giuliani is not qualified to be the president. His consistant lack of foreign policy knowledge proves this. Romney is a flip flopper (first he is for gay rights but then denies thier right to marry). McCain...need I say more, the American people have already told him that he is not wanted last time. The rest are libertines and liars.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is not a flip flopper or liar. His foreign policy is far superior to his opponents. His voting record speaks for itself. He is ready to rid our country of the Federal Reserve thieves, and do away with the Federal income tax of wages (which is unconstitutional). We the people need to wake up. Our country is free falling in a downward spiral, the end will be dramatic and abrupt. Will you finally wake up and ask yourself "how in GOD's name did things get so bad, and why didn't we see it coming?"

Be an american not a globalist...be an American Patriot.

Yay! The site's back. Please don't include Ron Paul next time. His looney minions are spamming the poll just like they have elsewhere.

Gotta love the Ron Paul supporters and their web-bot toys.

I'm glad to see Ron Paul is starting to make his mark! And I agree, McCain is absolutely the last thing we need!

I'm glad to see Ron Paul making headway. He's my man! I'm a Viet Nam vet, and McCain would be the last person on earth that I'd vote for. Talk about double talk, and flip flop!

The poll is being hit by people with no life, I see. Isn't it amazing how 2 or 3 people with a cause and too much time on their hands can play con games and destroy the integrity of a poll?

It looks like you may have to add a captcha to the voting process.

Isn't it amazing that just because a candidate you (inexplicably) can't stand wins a poll, you assume that's the case because it's either 1) rigged or 2) swamped by a group of well-organized "people with no life"? I'm also astounded that on a political blog of all places you would have somone dismissing peoples' passion for their candidate of choice as "having no life."

Anyways. I voted for Paul. I'm a live, breathing, ultra-conservative Republican. And I only voted once.

Also, the post mentions you can now enter your age, gender, and state - I see state, but where do you enter the first two?

You know what, I voted for Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, and although I wanted to see Ron up there, I did not expect the results I was shown. I cannot believe this poll (sorry Ron Paul supporters). I want to see a real poll. And don't tell me professional polls are "scientific", they don't include people savvy enough to use their caller ID to block the survey. Stop gaming the system people! If you want a politician who seems honest, it would be hypocritical of you to sabotage these polls online.

The cause is the same envisioned by the founding fathers. I only vote once and then for Ron Paul.

I find your GOP Bloggers Poll interesting, you can see the trends vs the voters self identification. Interesting that Ron Paul wins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 on the liberal-conservative scale. With one of the other 9 or 10 GOP candidates winning 8 and 9 on the scale.

Ron Paul appeals to the Left, Center and Ultra Conservatives, while the other GOP candidates only appeal to a very narrow band of right wing conservatives. Looks like Ron Paul is the GOPs only hope at winning in 2008.
