Election 2012

Not Welcome At Home

Woops! Only 1 out of the 9 current Republican presidential candidates have a positive rating in their home states.

A newly released poll from Public Policy Polling shows only 1 of the 9 potential GOP Presidential candidates has a favorable rating in their home state: former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson (R-NM). Other candidates, such as Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), Mitt Romney (R-MA), Sarah Palin (R-AK), and Michelle Bachman (R-MN) are disliked by a majority of voters in the states they governed or represented.

And Gary Johnson has about as much chance of winning the nomination as Ronald McDonald.

Take note, Republicans -- If any of you actually have a favorable rating in your home states -- and that's a big if -- you should consider running for president.

There's always room left inside the clown car.
