I had no idea Mr Walker was a Colordo native, though that he comes from the Springs probably indicates something.<\/p>\n

At any rate, at this point these kind of polls are both meaningless (what most voters know about any of these folk beyond a thimble of half-remembered news coverage is pretty trivial) but also important (because money will start to flow toward leaders in such polls, and away from the folk at the bottom).<\/p>\n

Note that, despite the headline, the poll is of Republicans (and only those who voted in the last four primaries).<\/p>\n

I have no idea, really, who the GOP is going to nominate. There were enough rises and falls of "sure things" in 2012 that anyone offering to bet money on it at this point should probably be taken up on the offer. A lot depends on who says what, who's caught saying what, and where the party as a whole (or its primary-voting contingent, more accurately) thinks it wants to go, and\/or who they think can beat Clinton (the presumptive Dem candidate, though that's not quite as much of a lock as it might seem). It also depends on external events — crises arising (or averted), and what happens between Obama and Congress over the next several months (though not in any particularly predictable way).<\/p>\n
