Iowans are weighing in on who their favorite Republican candidates are, but question if their choice of candidate has what it takes to beat Barack Obama. It appears that Mitt Romney is favorable in the eyes of Iowans, but the latest Rasmussen Reports show Newt Gingrich has bypassed Romney by small margins in numbers.
Here is what Iowa GOP voters are saying about the Republican candidates early on.
"I am favoring Newt Gingrich out of all the Republican candidates. Newt is an intelligent man, and knows how the political system works and has the ability to work both sides of the isle if elected. If Newt was out, I would look toward Herman Cain. Cain is intelligent and has strong business ethics. Balancing the federal budget and stopping all of the funding of other countries are priorities I want to see in a candidate. We need to take our country back. Elect a person that will do what they say and not say one thing and do the opposite as our current president is doing." -- Robert Walke, retired, Guttenberg
"I am not sure I can pinpoint a single Republican candidate as my favorite. There does not appear to be an acceptable candidate at all, but if I have to choose I guess I would go with Mitt Romney. He hasn't sexually harassed any women, doesn't have a God complex and can almost always string together a sentence the average person is able to understand. The main problem with Romney is the fact that he vehemently opposed Obama care, came out against it and I believe even referred to it as an abuse of power. Too bad Obama Care is extremely similar to the health care reform passed in Massachusetts while he was governor." -- Vivian Funel, medical transcriptionist, Davenport
"I will likely vote for Mitt Romney. Throughout the debates and speaking engagements he consistently displays his knowledge for the system. Romney seems to speak on behalf of the people. He has had to work his way to the position he is in now by starting as the little man, like my spouse and I. I can tell he understands what it is like for us on a day to day basis struggling to get somewhere. Rick Santorum reminds me of a Republican Obama, he is wet behind the ears and we don't need that. We need intelligence with experience. Our country is in trouble." -- Autumn Nosbisch, self-employed, Guttenberg
"I am a Michelle Bachmann supporter. Michelle holds strong family values that the other candidates waver on. She speaks her mind strongly and is knowledgeable. I am not sure who falls in second, maybe Ron Paul. I am concerned and appalled at the mixture of candidates that have poor family values and weak histories." -- Linda Strong, homemaker, Bettendorf
"At this point I do not see a feasible opponent who could defeat Obama. This is sad and pathetic. I think that Romney has the closest chance, but he really needs to have sound action plans and promote them. Bachmann can't even keep track of Elvis' birthday and the day he died so how can we expect her to run an entire country? Not to mention she used to work for the IRS. Herman Cain is utterly ridiculous. I happened to catch his wife in an interview and she was explaining how Herman would never do anything like that (i.e. sexual harassment). It was reminiscent of Hillary Clinton after Bill's sex scandal. Can't we come up with a candidate who doesn't make you cringe?" -- Nathan Page, recruiter, Ankeny
"Ron Paul makes sense. Ron Paul not only favors our countries original values, he stands by them. Ron is a stand-out candidate for small businesses and the middle class. Ron knows that without protecting this nation's liberties, the rest falls into the trash. Candidates such as Rick Perry and Huntsman would fit right into a Saturday Night Live skit." -- John Neylan, manufacturing, Davenport
"My candidate is Mitt Romney. After watching the most recent debate covering our county's defense, it should be clear to a voter who really needs to just be scratched off without hesitation. Mitt demonstrates a strong understanding of both domestic and foreign policy. My only concern with Mitt Romney is his religion. I have concerns regarding how he approaches decisions if his strong Mormon values play a role in this." -- Galen Casey, self-employed, Des Moines
