Right of Center Bloggers rank most and least desired Republican candidates (Fourth Quarter)
.
Our buddy John Hawkins (regular MTNP guest) of Right Wing News emailed more than 225 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send him a ranked list 1-5 of the candidates that they would most like to take the Republican nomination for President in 2008 and the 1-5 candidates they'd least like to see as the Republican nominee in 2008. Representatives from 52 blogs responded.
.
While certainly not the ultimate deciding factor, nor will it be likely that things will turn out exactly as the results show, John uses a well-conceived method of tabulating the results and provides an accurate temperature-check of conservative bloggers.
.
All participating bloggers were provided with this list of potential candidates:
John Cox
Rudy Giuliani
Mike Huckabee
Duncan Hunter
Alan Keyes
John McCain
Ron Paul
Mitt Romney
Tom Tancredo
Fred Thompson
Click here to see the results. One observation I'll make (again) is that Rudy Giuliani continues to poll very well, even in groups that one might consider rather conservative, like those reporting in to John's survey.
