Ames poll shows that Mitt can lead!

First, the results:

1. Mitt Romney 32%
2. Mike Huckabee 18%
3. Sam Brownback 15%
4. Tom Tancredo 14%
5. Ron Paul 9%
6. Tommy Thompson 7%

Then . . . the "also rans":
7. Fred Thompson 1%
8. Rudy Giuliani 1%
9. Duncan Hunter 1%
10. John McCain 0.7%
11. John Cox 0.5%

What kind of executive does America want? Our wonderful country is facing some serious problems and she needs strong leadership. For Romney to come from out of obscurity and win this thing shows nothing less than a leader who can get results. And to see Rudy and McCain sit this one out reveals a lack of character in each of them. It shows that if they do not think they can win something they throw in the towel without even trying! Don't we want a president who will fight for conservative principles even if it seems to be against the odds?

To think about what Romney has accomplished thus far, with so little name-recognition, and with so much opposition to his religion, one can only expect greater things from the man when he takes the reigns as POTUS.
