CNN poll shows him at 15 percent, which is just 2 points behind Romney. He hasn't even announced. Most people don't know anything about him, other than that he is governor of Texas.

Why is he leading the pack with Romney?

[ ] The 15 percent selecting him are from the religious base of the party and know he's a fundamentalist, so pick him.

[x] Dissatisfaction with the other choices.

Maybe because he as the Governor of a state, has shown by his states creating half of the jobs in the USA that something he is doing actually works. And he doesn't seem to use a TelePrompTer.

His teleprompter is jesus himself. He creates job with a wave of his hand. He smells of rich mahogany, etc, etc.

It just seems like with the amount of support he's getting - people are just assuming he's the right man for the job.

I have plenty of questions before I throw my support behind him. For example, he complained about and ideologically opposed the government monetary aid - but took it and used it help balance the state budget. Despite that - he' still running a monumental deficit.

he's running a deficit, but texas did keep their surplus unlike other states who spent it.

Mark Sanford would have been the man. Sucks he had to go and follow his stupid carrot.

To answer the question, his state has created half of the jobs in the U.S. Although I don't care that he is a man of faith in relation to him being president, I do like that he stands by what he believes. I also like that he can actually speak without a teleprompter.

Now for your second option, yes I am dissatisfied. Romney is such a watered down typical generic candidate for the GOP it's sick. Our country can't afford business as usual anymore. Bachman is completely unqualified, as is our current president, and I prefer some real executive experience. Ron Paul doesn't have a snowballs chance to win it, although I agree with a lot of what he says. We the people just want someone who at least appears real, and I see that in Perry.

So he appears real and stands by what he does. That's why? Even if he runs a terrible deficit and stands by it?

it does seem strange that the deficit would be this high if that many jobs were being created.
