Here are some interesting results from a GOP focus group:

Romney: "leader," "principled," "good," "smart," and "articulate."

Thompson: "grandfather," "father," "conservative," "soft spoken," "good," and "confident."

Giuliani: "good," "cocky," "cold," "confident," and "liberal."

Huckabee: "don't know," "funny name," "Christian," "conservative," "good man," and "fair tax."

McCain: "Vietnam," "strong," and "confident."

No one had views on Tancredo and Hunter, and Paul drew just one response: "too weak on national security."

Interesting that Romney was the only candidate to be called a leader, and to be seen as principled, smart and articulate. Now who's going to beat Hillary? A "cocky liberal" (Guiliani), a "soft spoken grandfather" (Thompson--is he actually a grandfather?), a "confident Vietnam" (McCain), or a "don't know funny name fair tax" (Huckabee)?

I'm going with the principled, smart, articulate leader.
