Interesting Straw Poll

GOP bloggers runs a regular straw poll of GOP POTUS candidates and only four are on the positive side, Rudy, Newt, Mitt and Duncan and Newt has not declared. The results so far are interesting in that we are still many months away from the first primary and Sen. McCain is in a hole and sinking fast, it appears the base wants a fresh face for the party and John is old news. Mitt and Rudy are new and fresh, while Duncan and Newt are old stalwarts of the GOP base, true bastions if you will.
Here is the Goat's dream scenario: a Mit Romney ticket wins, Newt gets a high level policy position, Rudy would be an awesome Attorney General, Dr. Rice stays at State and maybe McCain at SecDef., bringing in Michael Steele and Ken Blackwell to important roles would be awesome. Mitt is far smarter than the average bear seeking political fat and that is why the Barnyard supports him, besides he is the only one with any fiscal knowledge dealing with lots of really big numbers and been very successful at it.
Take the poll here.

Interesting scenario you put forth. I agree with Rudy as AG and Newt somewhere in the cabinet. They'd be great in those roles.
