Palin Wins Kansas Presidential Straw Poll
Kansas City Star ^ | June 28, 2009 | Steve Kraske

Posted on 06/28/2009 1:45:08 PM PDT by curth

President -- 2012

Sarah Palin: 76

Mike Huckabee: 54

Mitt Romney: 52

Bobby Jindal: 19

Ron Paul: 9

In a straw poll at the Olathe Republican Party's annual Picnic and Straw Poll Saturday at the Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop, Todd Tiahrt grabbed a big win in a straw poll faceoff.

Tiahrt and Moran, both members of Congress, are squaring off in the GOP primary next year for the U.S. Senate.

Saturday's results:

Tiahrt: 165 votes.

Moran: 46.

The 3rd District, which encompasses the site of the poll, is a major battleground in the primary race given that Moran hails from Hays and Tiahrt from Wichita.

Organizers also staged a 3rd District Congress straw poll for the right, presumably, to take on Democratic incumbent Dennis Moore next year.

Those results:

Patricia Lightner: 74.

Macie Houston: 33

Daniel Gilyeat: 30

Darla Jaye: (write-in): 24.

For governor:

Sam Brownback: 197

Other: 12.

Secretary of State:

Kris Kobach: 192

JR Claeys: 22

I don't see Patricia Lightner running for the Third District seat again - she isn't the sacrificial lamb type. I'm mildly surprised she got more votes than the two announced candidates. And I can't believe that 24 people spent $2 to write in that idiot Jaye. Teach us for inviting her to be keynote.

The Senate race is going to be interesting. I think Tiahrt won because he was there. But it's going to be hard fought race between him and Moran.

Palin winning doesn't surprise me at all.

I don’t know, but you might want to consult with counterpunch.

MEANWHILE IN THE OBAMA BATCAVE IN DC......

That’s it, the secret is out!!! We can’t contain this abominable caribou barbie. Nothing is working!

Our ethics complaints have been rejected

Our media hit pieces and have been deflected

Frenchie and crew have come off as fools

Mittens and Huckster are looking like tools

Letterman got skinned. Lauer got dimmed. Couric is desperate to erase her sins.

IDIOTS...I’M SURROUNDED BY FRICKEN IDIOTS!!!!

Axelrod, take a note and give it to the Daily KOS, ACORN and those in the MSM who still have a job.

ATTENTION. Evil overlord in DC requies the services of:

“rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists....”

Also:

RINOS, winos, mudd flappers, mudd crappers, dirt divers, muck rakers, bloggers, floggers, Irish cloggers, media hacks, plumber’s cracks, Daily KOS, donkey’s who floss, old disgruntral reporters with moss, and Hollywood celebs who look really lost.

Barbour has ten times the media savvy Steele will ever hope to have. We need him to return to RNC.

I would think that Palin will be getting the lion’s share of Sanford’s supporters. On the issues, their views seem to me to be more closely aligned than either is with any other potential candidate except perhaps Barbour.

But if Haley wants to run for president, he will face attacks as vicious as anything Gov. Palin has endured, except the personal attacks on her children.

I have see graphics of Barbour photoshopped in front of a burning cross, for example. that’s just one of the things the radical leftists will be doing to try to define him as a racist.

They will also hit him very hard on his time as a lobbyist.

These leftists are scum who will do anything to destroy any conservative who appears to be a threat to their beloved econo-fascist Obama.

54 posts in a Palin thread and no astroturfing BS from counterpunch and the rest of the haters. Wow!

Do the astroturfers not work on Sundays?

No Ball-Buster Biceps for Palin!

... and her feet aren't like battleships standing ready to defend the motherland, either, lol.

The MFM (Michelle fawning media) gets more surreal by the day, and I wouldn't be surprised to see her big canoes described so heroically at some point.

Even David Frum admitted to that and you know if an anti-Palinite like Frum owns up that conjecture you know it is the God’s honest truth.
