Mitt Romney leads in latest New Hampshire primary poll
Despite his assurances to the contrary the rumors still persist that Mitt Romney may run for president in 2016. Earlier this week Jason Chaffetz predicted that Mitt Romney would not only run for president again but also claimed he would be the next president of the United States.
Here is what he had to say:
“I think he actually is gonna run for president. He probably doesn’t want me to say that,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told host Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Monday. Chaffetz also backed the former Massachusetts governor early in the GOP nomination process for 2012.
“A hundred times he says he’s not, but Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he’s set out to do. I think he’s proven right on a lot of stuff. I happen to be in the camp that thinks he’s actually going to run, and I think he will be the next president of the United States,” Chaffetz said.
If Mitt Romney looks at the New Hampshire polls he might just reconsider his position. Back in January of this year America’s Watchtower speculated on the possibility of another run by the failed candidate and that post included a New Hampshire poll which showed Mitt Romney with an early lead in the New Hampshire primary. Mitt Romney had 25% of the vote while Rand Paul had 18% and Chris Christie had 17%.
Well, the latest New Hampshire primary poll is out and here is how it shakes down:
The GOP field has New Jersey Gov. Christie with 19 percent, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul with 14 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 11 percent, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 8 percent, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal with 5 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 5 percent, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 3 percent and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 2 percent and 1 percent each for Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, with 15 percent undecided on a favorite.
So Chris Christie has gained a couple of points while Rand Paul has fallen four points, however:
When Romney is added, he is favored by 39 percent, while all other potential candidates fall below 10 percent.
Mitt Romney has gained fourteen points since January while all the other candidates fall below ten percent. Somebody please tell me that Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, and Jeb Bush are not the best the Republican party has to offer!
And while you are at it could you also please explain to me what is happening in my state because I simply do not understand what the voters are thinking at this point.
It is still early and nobody has announced anything to this point so here is hoping that once the race gets into full gear and people start campaigning that somebody other than the big three will capture the imagination of the voters of New Hampshire.

If Mittens is the best the GOP has to offer, I’ll be sitting out the 2016 elections.

I’m with you Steve. As Ricky used to say, “splain it to me Lucy”. Michael Medved had a formula which I am too stupid to remember, but it went something like this. A wining candidate needed to be someone who could appeal to the big money (establishment [ew]) donors on the right. Forget the pie-in-the-sky, it takes a LOT of money. Then the candidate still needs to be able to connect to the grass roots, tea party, whatever (us) voter, because you have to get their votes to win. Then they need the mechanism to put it all together AND you have to be charismatic!
So tell me who has those components and isn’t on that list?

Well, all three can get the money from the establishment but as far as connecting with the voters maybe Christie can but he is not an option for me. Those that appeal to the people have angered the establishment so getting money might be harder for one of those candidates. It is going to be interesting…

You got it. I don’t know who bridges that gap on the right. On the other hand, the left will all come together no matter what. The eco-freak, the mulit-culties, the filthy rich silly-cone valley libs, and the supporters of illegal immigration will all get behind Hillary, while we will “stay at home” and let Hillary have 4 more years to ruin the country. The conservative voter is willing to drink poison in hopes that the other side will get sick.

“conducted by the University of New Hampshire Research Center”
this is the same polling group that tried to push for more gun control, and put out a poll saying NH adults wanted more gun control…then 3 days later they actually published the method they used to take the poll.
it was INTERNAL. in other words, they polled THEMSELVES.
I wouldn’t trust anything they put out.
