On Friday, GOP sent link to straw poll for 2016

[Laura PourMeADrink]

The Republican National Committee has begun polling potential nominees for president in 2016, telling its supporters, "The battle for the White House has already begun."

The group sent an email Friday to a select number of its subscribers and asked them to pick their top three choices among a vast array of possible 2016 presidential candidates. While the field of 32 Republican lawmakers mostly included the usual suspects, such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Ted Cruz (Texas), it also presents a few unusual options, such as former Florida Rep. Allen West.

Seems you can vote if you want them to have your email.

3. Isn't it great ! If Hillary runs, there is NO ONE with anything

close to her background...lived through the Arkansas governorship and US Presidency, Senator, Sec'y of
State. The woman has seen it all and all of these people would have to be shaking in their boots before
any debate, for sure.
