Confirming a surge seen in polling across the nation, Texas Governor Rick Perry has moved into first place among Republican voters in Iowa, host state to the first-in-the-nation caucus early next year.

A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of those likely to participate in the Iowa GOP Caucus shows that Perry is the first choice for 29%. Essentially tied for second are Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann at 18% and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 17%. Texas Congressman Ron Paul picks up 14% of the vote, and nobody else currently reaches the five percent (5%) mark.

Perry is getting a lot of flack from the core conservative (Ron Paul) crowd. I don't see anyone else that can beat the brobot tho.

Perry is more conserative than he is letting on. Paul is un-electable along with the rest of the GOP field. If Perry wins GOP nomination, I believe he will show how conserative he is. Now he is having to be more middle of the road and play politics to get the nomination.

I think you have that backwards.  Typically they are hard core (right or left) in the primary to get the nomination and then move toward the center during the general to win the independent vote.
