Conservatives picking 2012 GOP frontrunners (CNN)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Conservative Political Action Conference ends Saturday with radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh delivering the keynote address and the naming of the winner of a poll for best 2012 GOP presidential candidate

In the absence of a clear GOP leader, a political ad airing Friday put out by supporters of President Obama implies the conservative radio host has himself become the de-facto head of the Republican Party.

The ad argues that the Republican leadership in Congress is following Limbaugh's lead in opposing the Obama administration's $787 billion stimulus package.

It was paid for by Americans United for Change and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, two groups that supported Obama during the election and are advocating for his agenda.

In response to the ad, the Republican National Committee said, "The Democrats are running a permanent campaign rather than doing the bipartisan work of governing."

:eyes: Got that? We should be naming our 2012 candidate, rather than "running a permanent campaign".

1. I hope it's Romney. That's the one the freepers hate most.

4. The irony is, if Romney ran as a Dem he would have had a better chance

Not much of one, mind you, but better nonetheless. It helps that the party you are seeking the candidacy for doesn't consider your religion a cult.

8. I agree

2. "The Democrats are running a permanent campaign rather than doing the bipartisan work of governing."

An interesting phrase because I had a Republican friend say to me yesterday about Obama's address that "I wish he would stop campaigning". I should have known it was not an original thought.
