Drudge Report Poll " Christie, was garnering less than five percent of the vote. Bush had just over six % Ryan had less than four "  When it comes to picking a presidential candidate for 2016, the GOP elite are having a hard time getting the grassroots to toe the establishment line.

With over 234,000 votes counted, Rove’s “strong potential candidate,” Christie, was garnering less than five percent of the vote. Bush had just over six percent. Ryan had less than four. But despite fiery criticism from the GOP establishment, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was registering over 28 percent in the Drudge Report poll, while Tennessee Sen. Rand Paul was leading the survey, with over 30 percent. Paul’s 72,297 votes compared impressively to Christie’s 11,437 Read more at wnd.com In real life one might suppose that teh company would yield to market survey results.  Ha. My prediction: This won't be the first time they decide to commit predecide.
