I thought you might be interested in the information below, which is circulating in Massachusetts in advance of the Republican Primary. There are those who believe that Governor Daniels would be a far stronger candidate than any of those who are on the ballot. And this seems to remind voters that they do have an alternative. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Ron Paul 31%
Mitt Romney 22%
Sarah Palin 7%
Tim Pawlenty 6%

Newt Gingrich 4%
Mike Huckabee 4%

In a few hours CPAC will conduct its annual presidential straw poll. One of the more popular stickers I have seen at CPAC is this one, "Draft Cheney." Ron Paul and Sarah Palin have their usual army of supporters, although Paul has a much more intricate organization while Palin's support is similar to Paul's in 2008. Gary Johnson is surprisingly absent from the straw poll but he did not give a formal speech at CPAC. Not a large presence for Mitt but he did give a major speech.
Here is your RMG 2012 Presidential Straw Polll. The only difference in the RMG poll is we added Scott Brown.
