No front-runner unusual for GOP​

United Press International


The lack of a Republican front-runner for the 2012 U.S. presidential nomination strays from the usual scenario in GOP nomination contests, Gallup said. The polling agency said since 1952 most Republican Party nomination races featured a clear front-runner at this early stage of the campaign, Gallup said Tuesday.

Right now, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is supported by 18 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaners while former Govs. Sarah Palin of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts are each favored by 16 percent, Gallup said.

In 10 competitive GOP races over the years since 1952, 2008 is the only year in which the eventual nominee, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., became the leader relatively late in the campaign cycle, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said. In the other nine, the nominee reached leader status in the year before the election -- and in eight of those elections, the nominee was the front-runner by March.

During that meeting or whatever with the 5 GOP Republicans, I didn't see anybody of who was impressive. Specially when they started talking random junk nobody cared about, and there was very little claps in the crowd.
