Third time's the charm?
Nothing says more about the depth of the GOP presidential field than when Republican voters clamor for a third run from Mitt Romney. Romney may still be playing
hard to get, but a
CNN/ORC International Poll found that he was No. 1 with GOP voters, 20 percent of whom favored him over second-place contender, Ben Carson, who finished with 10 percent of the vote. Carson, of course, is the retired neurosurgeon and
conservative African American who has called Obamacare "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."
Splashy comments are apparently more appealing than experience. Carson nudged out former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (9 percent), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (8 percent), and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (7 percent). Having a record can be a real drag.
Unless you're a Democrat. Hillary Clinton dominated the liberal side of the equation, with 65 percent of Democrats naming the former secretary of state as their first choice. Then came Sen. Elizabeth Warren (10 percent), Vice President Biden (9 percent) and Indie Sen. Bernie Sanders (5 percent).
