“Sen. Larry Craig has spent 27 years in Congress, with rumors about his sexual orientation following him almost from the outset.”
Too early (still a useful gage) and remember, one wins state-by-state and national polls have lesser meaning. Plus, Perry has to win Florida. Try selling his "SS is a ponzi scheme" comment there....I suspect, in the upcoming debates, even some R candidates may decide to hammer him on that.
And try selling his "Pray to Jesus to solve your problems" as a domestic & foreign policy there too. "Jews for Buchanan" was a year 2000 only phenomenon.

I think that any "poll" that has any Republican candidate ahead of this great President is a sham.
No Republican candidate has ever been President and ever had to deal with a post-Bush economy or a post-Bush regressive obstructionist Congress that opposes that him/her because of their race. Every Republican candidate also represents the party of Bush/Cheney.

Plenty of Republican candidates have become president.
And Bush/Cheney will never be as hated as they were in 2008. The backlash against them only decreases over time. However, the current president's unpopularity can continue to soar, depending on what is happening with the economy and how people think they are doing compared to before.
People will tire of the "but Bush caused all this" excuse over time. Excuses in general convey weakness and cause people to think less of leaders who use them. At some point, I think the Obama campaign will realize this, but until they do their continued use of various excuses to cover for lack of performance will hurt them.
guess what? 1-I am very much aware of that, but he wasn't running for Governor and in the same spotlight. Congressmen do not face the same scrutiny (spelling) governmors do and there wasn't the constant attempt to prove this true or not true. It is a totally different type of race.

I don't think Perry is gay so that is not going to be an issue. However, Perry being a gay basher is going to be a problem for those outside of the GOP base. Gay bashing might help with the base, but its going to be a turn off to the rest of the electorate and Independents especially.
Numbers can be faked, but not a failing dying negative, downhill, out of control economy, this cannot be faked, nor can the fact that we are still at 9.1% unemployment. And last month alone no new jobs were created. That can't be faked. People i know are scared, the people i know who have lost jobs, it is the most stressful thing you can go thru, and when there are no jobs to be had, it makes a stressful situation much more worse. As far as numbers i rarely pay attenetion because they change so often.
As far as Perry, don't ever say never, anything in life is possible, hey look who we are stuck with.

But in the final clinch, I think there might be more than a few folks (including some liberals) who by comparison, will take the same hard look at Obama and will decide they also agree with that part of your statement.

Obviously, an unrealistic poll
