Gov. Tim Pawlenty rated fifth among likely Republican primary voters, according to a Rasmussen poll released on Thursday. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich placed in the top four, followed by Pawlenty, who has lagged in virtually every professional poll and straw poll over the last year. Pawlenty has said his decision on a presidential run will be made this spring.
In the poll, Romney claimed the top spot with 20 percent; Huckabee and Palin were tied for a close second, at 19 percent. Gingrich got 13 percent and Pawlenty 6 percent. Pawlenty bested two other contenders: Ron Paul earned 5 percent and Mitch Daniels 3 percent.
A McClatchy poll in September found similar results: Pawlenty in fifth place with 6 percent.
And earlier this year, a Public Policy Polling poll of GOP contenders in New Hampshire showed Pawlenty in sixth place with 5 percent. A similar survey in July also had Pawlenty in sixth, but with only 3 percent.

Doctor Paul is going to be the change we hoped for in Obama.
A man who doesn’t blindly follow any party, only his beliefs in human rights and our sovereignty.
The man with the proven record and tells it like it is.
The guy who started the Tea Party craze, based on ending washington corruption.
2012 President Ron Paul

The Bush tax cuts were implemented years ago, without cutting spending to offset the decrease in revenue. History shows us that the policy drove up deficit spending yet failed to create private sector jobs. Ultimately, it helped weaken the economy and helped make the recession worse.
Now the conservatives want to do it all again, like a drug addict who is too distracted by the visions to comprehend that he is bleeding to death.
Their economic policies will not work. They have already been tried, and they have already failed under far more favorable economic conditions than now prevail. I think that they avoid going into detail because they know it will not work. They important thing for them is to destroy meaningful political opposition, not to help America.
They Tea Party was started by the Koch brothers, and it has unwittingly done their bidding very well. The Tea Party has the next two years to figure out they have been had, and make the appropriate corrections. For one thing, they need to turn off the conservative media and learn something about the Constitution and a balanced economy.

Romney I can understand being in the lead, but how in the world could any of the other assclowns be head of Ron Paul unless they targeted complete idiots in this poll?
