Rick Santorum with 29% and 26% respectively. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was fourth in the poll at 18%, with Congressman Ron Paul holding steady at 2%. The poll was conducted over the evening of February 14, 2012 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 3 %. With the sampling error, Congressman Ron Paul could have as many as 5% of the vote or -1%. Les Malkovich of Little Egg Harbor indicated that he would like to see, “a presidential candidate for the GOP who has no problem cleaning his own private parts,” and now he's not been particularly impressed with Romney, Santorum or Gingrich and their lack of ability in that area. The Pekingese, or "Peke" (also commonly referred to as "Lion Dog", or "Pelchie Dog" due to its resemblance to Chinese Guardian lions) is an ancient breed of toy dog, originating in China.

New Jersey State Tea Party Chair Donald Valdis Swartz issued an immediate demand to see “the birth certificate or valid registration papers and dog license,” of the Pekinese so that, “the United States doesn't have to suffer through another foreign-born elected president.”February 15, 2012: Winner Of The Westminster Dog Show Leads In New GOP Poll
