I'll vote for Obama, only because I can't stand the GOP candidates. One flip flops, one is focused on correcting homosexuality, one likes to "reload" and target Democrats in crosshairs, and the rest are just out of tune with the American people.

Consider Ron Paul.

He is in tune with the American people, has stayed true to his principles for 30+ years (has never flip flopped). He believes government should get out of marriage.

You're absolutely right. Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate I would vote for over Obama.

When Republicans are actually named people say hell no and stick with Obama.

So...a grey card-board cutout of an imaginary Republican candidate beats Barak Obama handily for the presidential election, but then Obama beats every declared and undeclared Republican candidate for the presidential election.

So by transitive relation, the voting public prefers a cardboard cutout of an imaginary Republican presidential candidate overwhelmingly over any existing potential or actual Republican candidate.

What does that say about the current state of the Republican party?

I couldnt agree more.

Large centralized government at its finest and more Americans taught that the government shall take care of them.

I was a little surprised to see Obama ahead of this poll.

Dont forget Obama voters, why your president is in stressful situations or when he feels cornered, he will storm out of the room!

What is it about him, with total failure all over his presidential record, that keeps y'all coming back to him? He promised once he was president that people would have jobs, houses, and savings. Well, foreclosures are outrageous, unemployment is rising, IRS reports show many, (including me) borrowing from 401k's. And now, he wants to make this worse! Please, what are you seeing that I am not???

and what about unannounced candidates? Who is focusing on homosexuality? I don't mean talking about it, I mean making it their primarry agenda, and which one likes to reload and target the Democrats? I get the feeling you are one of those that would not vote for a Republican regardless of what they stand for.

But not all elected Republicans are Tea Partiers. There is a huge difference.
