Des Moines Register early poll numbers good for Romney, Bachmann; Pawlenty, not so much
The Des Moines Register revealed some interesting numbers this morning:
Two-time candidate Mitt Romney and tea party upstart Michele Bachmann are neck and neck leading the pack, and retired pizza chief Herman Cain is in third place in a new Des Moines Register Iowa Poll of likely participants in the state’s Republican presidential caucuses.
The results are bad news for the earnest Tim Pawlenty, a former Minnesota governor who is in single digits despite a full-throttle campaign.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and business executive, claims 23 percent, and Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman and evangelical conservative, garners 22 percent. Neither has done heavy lifting in Iowa.
The rest of the Republican field is at least 12 points behind them.
We’re only a couple months away from the Ames Straw poll, where Texas Congressman Ron Paul has shelled out a pretty penny for the prime location. This is the same spot Romney held in 2007.
While there’s still time for movement between now and the Iowa Caucuses next year, the same cannot be said between now and the Ames Straw Poll in August.
But there are a number of very interesting factors that make comparing this 2011 to 2007 difficult:

Randall Terry announces Presidential run… against Obama
This just hit my inbox:
BAD NEWS FOR BARRY
MORALS ARE RETURNING TO THE 2012 DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Americans have grown weary of the culture of death promoted by the extreme Leftists who have high-jacked the Democratic Party. It’s time to take the party back.

The simple fact of the matter is America is a Pro-Life country. Gallup Polls reports that a clear majority of Americans identify themselves as Pro-Life. What is more, Americans by and large detest the thought of their hard earned tax dollars being spent by the government to kill other people’s babies.
Yet Barack Hussein Obama has made a career of being “pro-abortion”. In the Senate, he supported a bill that would make it legal for physicians to murder babies that managed to survive abortion. On his first full day in the Oval Office, Obama ended the Mexico City Accord, allowing him to send yourtax dollars to foreign abortion clinics. And since he took office, government funding to state-side abortion clinics has steadily increased – Planned Parenthood alone now receives well over $300 million a year!

In fact, our current Administration is so extremely pro-abortion, that they are willing to sacrifice seniors to kill babies. That’s right; Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have made their position clear. They would rather shut down the government, which the Democrats claim would potentially stop Medicare & Social Security payments, than pass the House bill to Defund Planned Parenthood.
My friends, as a Christian man, I have had enough. The Democratic Party used to be a place of high ideals that supported, not destroyed life. It’s time we put a stop to the hostile take-over being waged by extreme Leftists and their “culture of death” politics. It’s time we take the Democratic Party back.

My name is Randall Terry. I am a God fearing, liberty loving, pro-life Democrat running for President in 2012. And I need your help.
The extreme Left and Marxist elements controlling the Obama Candidacy are doing everything they can to prevent a moral uprising of Christian Democrats; pouring millions of dollars into their campaign to continue the culture of death and delusion to Democratic voters. It is going to take a lot of money to get our message of moral, life affirming Democratic ideals to the voters. If you feel as I do, that the Democratic Party can be saved, please send your best possible gift now.
