Oh no! It looks like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee are splitting I vote the way the Bible tells me to vote.

Or, maybe they're splitting the I am easily seduced by politicians with strong personalities vote.* Or maybe it's the I'm afraid of mannequins vote.

Ah, whatever. Bottom line: Mitt Romney has a statistically insignificant lead in the GOP primaries with only three years to go!

Mitt Romney continues to hold a slight edge over potential 2012 GOP presidential contenders among Republicans in a poll released Thursday…

Twenty-six percent of Republicans survived said they are most likely to support the former Massachusetts governor in the Gallup poll. Palin trails by five percent with 21 percent. Huckabee came in third with 19 percent and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich earned 14 percent and came in fourth.

I feel bad for Mike Huckabee. If only he were still governor of Arkansas. Then he'd be able to quit mid-term and boost his credibility with Republican voters.

^{* Too bad, because, as we saw in November, they do come out in force.}
