David Martosko, U.S. Political Editor for The Daily Mail writes He's baaaack!: Romney destroys all other potential Republicans in N.H. presidential primary poll (but Chris Christie leads the field if Mitt doesn't run), according to a WMUR/Granite State Poll, of New Hampshire Republicans. When Mitt Romney's name was taken off the list Chris Christie rises to first place with 19 percent.
Paul Ryan has the highest 'favorable' numbers of the field, at 55 per cent
Christie's 46 per cent favorable number is soft since a separate 36 per cent say they don't like him
When asked which potential White House hopeful they would never support, More Republicans name Christie than any other pol
While 46 per cent of New Hampshire Republicans like him, another 36 per cent don't. And he topped the list when GOP respondents were asked who they definitely would not vote for.
But with 19 per cent support in a hypothetical presidential primary, Christie has emerged as the flavor-of-the-month front-runner.
Hillary Clinton's numbers have come down to 59% from 74%, but she still maintains a hefty lead.
Hillary Clinton 59 per cent,
Vice President Joe Biden 14 per cent
Sen. Elizabeth Warren 8 per cent.
Sen. Bernie Sanders 5 per cent
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo 3 per cent
Virginia Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia 1 per cent
Although many often say polls this far out don't mean a lot, and can change, I think we can see the handwriting on the wall - it's going to be Hillary Clinton versus Mitt Romney in 2016. (Humor alert!)
And, I predict that after a surprisingly close, grueling, and back and forth race, with record spending on both sides, and much hand-wringing, Hillary Clinton will win by less than 1/2% of the popular vote and one electoral state. Karl Rove will be hospitalized after trying to commit suicide, and losing a challenge to the election results, demanding recounts, by insisting that Romney really won by 5%.
And, you can take this to the bank! (Second humor alert!)
