POLL: The GOP Presidential Nomination

Who do Weston, Redding and Easton voters think will challenge President Obama next fall? And does that candidate have a shot of winning?

Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich. Ron Paul. Rick Perry. Michelle Bachmann. Rick Santorum. Jon Huntsman. No candidate is ever perfect, but the fact remains that one of them—barring anything crazy happening, like say a former Alaskan governor throwing her hat into the ring—will indeed win the Republican nomination to challenge President Barack Obama next November.  

So a question for Weston, Redding and Easton residents: Those planning on voting against President Obama, which Republican candidate has the best shot of getting more than 270 electoral votes in 2012? Those planning on voting for the president, does it matter which candidate runs against him?
