C'mon! This poll isn't like a real election. It only lets me vote once.
"No", again.

It makes sense to me. I think an election board like this would be inherently anti-incumbent.

Obama vs Gingrich
Obama vs Paul
Obama vs Perry
Obama vs Bachmann
Obama vs Santorum
Obama vs Huntsman

It's a no brainer!

Obama in 2012! Go, Team Obama!

I'd take Rick Perry's mentally retarded half-brother (if he existed) over Obama.

You didn't include Undecided as an option...So do you think a year beforehand everybody has made up their mind? Sadly I think you are probably right...We have become so polarized over the last 20 years thanks to right-wing talk-radio, and Faux news...I'm sure you will see that many people have already made up their mind.

But the reality, despite what morons like Rush Limbaugh say and convince the do-nothing Republican party are stupid enough to have you believe, its the middle/independant/un-deciderers whom are going to elect the President. Basically on the right you have the 20%ers, on the left you have the 20%ers...These fringe groups seem to every so often gain, hold of the party and force them to kiss their rear. Just so happens this cycle its the Republicans who are stuck in this ninja/satan deathhold that they have to do/say everything based on what the tea-party and evangelical nuts want to hear.

Because of this my answer is...as stands today...I would vote for Obama if my first couple choices weren't a possibility...Huntsman I would vote for sure, barring anything crazy. Ron Paul, I think I would vote for, again see the previous. Third, it would be Obama, after Huntsman and Paul, the rest of the Repubes are just abysmal nightmares!

I would do a write-in for Smokey the Bear before I could ever vote for any of the current Repube crazies...Rick Perry, The Newt 'I love cancer, clean the toilet u poor bastard' Gingrich, Michelle 'I have the gay cure' Bachmann, Rick 'I wanna be gay' Santorum, or Donald 'tycoon thats filed bankruptcy 4 times already' Trump...I mean if they get your vote...God Bless you!

So Rick Perry is 'mentally retarded' and has a half-brother? Or he's mentally retarded compared to his half-brother? His half-retarded brother exists?

As an independent, will vote for Ron out of GOP pool vs Obama. Even I disagree with him in many aspects, he is predictable, not an opportunist like all other top tiers who are worse than Obama.

I kinda hope one of the Republican nuts wins...It would be the most absolute, for sure, guaranteed, final nail in the coffin for the Teapublican party. Then finally, with the Republican do-nothing party and their billionaire Koch brothers financed tea-tards out of the way, the country can finally start moving forward to getting back on track!

I will be voting for President Obama but I am seriously perplexed at the Republican field for nominee. I think that the GOP is doing itself a great disservice to present such a weak, lackluster field considering President Obama's current approval ratings.

If Republicans seriously believe that President Obama is destroying America, its a sad statement that they are not offering up stellar potential replacements. Not only that but the Republicans are actually not enthusiatic about the one candidate who has the best chance of a win, Mitt Romney. So it tells me that the GOP doesn't want the White House in 2012.
