If the Right Nation Straw Poll is any indication, then we already have a front-runner for the 2012 Republican Presidential Campaign. The poll (an unscientific poll, mind you) was taken Saturday (9/18) in a suburb of Chicago, IL.
Here are the results of the poll -

1. Sarah Palin – 323 votes (19.1%)
2. Chris Christie – 274 votes (16.2%)
3. Newt Gingrich – 227 votes (13.4%)
4. Herman Cain – 201 votes (11.9%)
5. Mitt Romney – 190 votes (11.2%)
6. Mike Huckabee – 156 votes (9.2%)
7. Ron Paul – 78 votes (4.6%)
8. Mitch Daniels – 76 votes (4.5%)
9. Tim Pawlenty – 68 votes (4.0%)
10. Mike Pence – 45 votes (2.7%)
11. Rudy Giuliani – 33 votes (1.9%)
12. Haley Barbour – 22 votes (1.3%)

But there again, this past Saturday (9/18) the Values Voters Summit in Washington held its own straw poll, and this was the results -

So what does this mean?

It means the field is still wide open for a front-runner, but it also means that Sarah Palin will most likely run for president; and have a strong chance of winning! I don't know about anyone else, but of the ones listed in the aforementioned straw polls, only a couple have any chance of competing with her.

Both Chris Christie or Newt Gingrich would make excellent vice-presidential choices, or even someone like Michelle Bachmann (although not on the list), but Sarah Palin would be the candidate I would love to see heading the ticket.

None of the others have gone through what Sarah Palin has been put through by the left, so none of them are worthy of my attention. Especially Romney and Huckabee. Don't get me wrong, I like Mike Huckabee... But he should stay on Fox and continue doing his show. As far as Romney, he treated Massachusetts to Romneycare, and the state is not doing well with it from what I have heard. Even though Romney is a smart man, he's not conservative enough for my tastes. Romney acts like a progressive to me, and he's not someone I'd like to see running the country!

But there again, if it were a race between Romney and Obama, I'd hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.

There is still a lot of time between now and when the campaigns begin in earnest. A lot of things can happen in that time. But the more she's out there - and the more the left attacks her - the more people will be looking at Sarah Palin as a viable candidate. After suffering the slings and arrows of the lefts relentless attack on her name and character, Sarah Palin has been vetted like no other candidate in modern times. And she's still leading the charge for everyday Americans to take back the country from the lunatic left.

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!
