Which republican candidate do you think the democrats like most?

1) Oh, come on. None of these clowns present a serious challenge to President Obama. 2) It wouldn't matter, they're all terrible.

#1 - Maybe the democrats would want Perry or Bachman to win. Not sure on that. #2 - That's tough. I think losing Obama's reelection would really hurt the democrats. Possibly Romney. #3 - I think Newt will be a strong threat to Obama, as could Romney. Romney is more likable, but Newt is more conservative.

1/ Either Bachmann or (GAG!) Santorum, although I think a Gingrich win would also guarantee President Obama's reelection. 2/ Huntsman with Romney not too far behind since one never knows when he's going to change his mind and he could end up becoming a "progressive" again any day...lol! 3/ Same as #2 since they're the only candidates who seem to have a reasonable shot at winning a general election once they're scrutinized by voters other than Republican primary and caucus participants. Huntsman really disappointed me when he walked back his earlier remarks about climate change. That HAD to be pandering to the far-right science denying wing of the GOP! I used to agree with you about Ron Paul but what got me to have second thoughts about him was RAND Paul; I kind of figured the apple hadn't fallen too far from the tree, and from some of the things I've heard and read since I see I was right. Paul seems to be a straight-shooter, which is a good thing, but sometimes I'm not so sure if he isn't kind of playing a game with his supporters and the media. I watched him on Tonight the other night and he seemed as mainstream as it gets on most things. I agree with him totally on foreign affairs, which is one thing I think has made him so popular. However, upon looking closer at his views on other issues such as civil rights, minimum wage, health care reform, a woman's right to choose, environmental issues and health and safety regulations that protect us all, he scares the heck out of me. You're right that he's not owned by any corporation but he certainly favors corporations over working people and their families. Annie

1. Bachmann would DEFINITELY guarantee Obama a second term. Since we all know she doesn't have a chance in he1l, I think Gingrich is who democrats are hoping for now because they don't even have to try to dig up dirt on him. They've had it stashed away for decades waiting to bring out. 2. Mitt Romney. He's basically Obama with an R next to his name. Both are completely full of s**t. Both will chance their stance on major and minor issues to pander to voters. Mitt Romney is also better looking than the other male contenders and looks matter more to democrats. Jon Huntsman is a moderate who would probably be ok for democrats, but he doesn't really have a chance of winning. 3. Ron Paul. Even though he is at odds with MANY major republican stances like defining marriage, occupying other countries, starting wars, etc., they know that if he wins the nomination, Republicans will unite behind him because Obama is so aweful they won't have a choice. He is also very popular amongst independents, which Obama needs to win the election. Anti-war democrats will also be more likely to support him after watching Obama break his promises and start an illegal, unconstitutional war in Libya.

@TheMetallion the Polls right now would say differently with Obama slipping behind as he is expected to be Killing the Bill of Rights with signing NDAA into law. But to answer the Question Obama and the Democrats who are still supporting Bush policy continuer Obama want Romney or Gingrich or Bachmann. These would be the easiest for them to beat. The one they don't want to see get the Nomination is Ron Paul it is plain and simple Ron Paul is a huge Threat because the Anti-War wing of the Democrats will leave Obama in mass because Ron Paul is anti-War without a Declaration as Article 1 Section 8 states pretty clearly on. It is looking like he could get Iowa and that would be quite a victory. The reason he isn't running under the Libertarian Party as he did in 1988 was because it is really hard to get your name on every ballot when you are running as a third party which I think speaks to something being extremely wrong with our current system that Third party candidates have a tough time getting their name on all 50 ballots across the nation.

1 Anyone but Ron Paul 2 Ron Paul 3 Still Ron Paul I'm so disgusted with the entire political system at this point I don't even care anymore. I don't even think the presidential seat even holds enough power to be worth anything more than a figure head. I campaigned for Oboma and now I almost wish Clinton had won. Truth be told I don't even care who becomes president any more. It's more about the politeering of the house and senate who now hold all the power. The president is so tied up between the two he couldn't push water through a net, much less any sort of legislation. The only time anything has come to a compromise is when a last minute budget has to be approved that always piggybacks some horrendous legislation like the NDAA.
