Shaun Kenney | Politics and Religion in Virginia's Public Square


Friday, December 22, 2006 Leaders (so far) on the 2008 Presidential Poll That feisty little poll to the right has some results: 7th Place (tied): Mike Huckabee and Duncan Hunter 6th Place: Tailspinning from Allen's loss... 5th Place: John McCain 4th Place (tied): Sam Brownback and Rudy Giuliani 2nd Place: Newt Gingrich ...and your first place winner? 1st Place: Jim Gilmore Interesting to note that of the votes for conservative candidates (Hunter, Huckabee, Gingrich, Brownback, and Gilmore) that they outpoll the moderates 2-1, and Gilmore takes nearly half of that conservative vote. The poll will continue to run until stagnant. Looking forward to the results! posted by Shaun Kenney \| 12/22/2006 05:30:00 PM \| 5 comments 5 Comments: At 5:40 PM, Joel said... Why is that interesting? Gilmore was your governor! Of course he'll poll high! Virginians have had enough presidents come from their state that they don't have the mentality that other states like Iowa have. Here in Iowa, no one thinks an Iowan can be POTUS. In Virginia, everyone knows it can happen. So can you explain why it's interesting? Thanks. At 6:49 PM, Charlie Bishop said... What's really interesting is Newt "the Grinch" Gingrich's showing. Apparently either the MSM didn't completely kill him when he was down or some of us still recognize his genius. And joel, you're assuming that this poll is among mostly Virginians. That may or may not be a valid assumption. Only Shaun can answer that. Is it Shaun? At 8:15 PM, Shaun Kenney said... I guess if folks in Iowa are reading this, it can't be only folks from Virginia... :) I'm not too surprised that Gingrich is polling so high. He did win the VCAP straw poll. At 10:29 PM, Charlie Fugate said... I think Newt's showing is indicative of the recognition that Alton speaks of. The man is a legitimate academic and with conservative credentials, it's a pretty appealing package. At 7:12 AM, jmw said... I wish Buchannan was running again. He would be the perfect anti-imperialist, paleo con in this time of the end of the neo cons. Post a Comment Home
