Any info on Johnson? An opportunist looking to split the conservative vote and give the primary victory to Grayson.

How can we tell which of the conservatives is the real candidate, and which is the opportunist looking to “split the conservative vote”?

Poppycock. He takes votes from both of them.
His base of anti-establishment/Tea Party voters who aren’t totally comfortable with Paul would be split if Johnson were not in the race.

Persistence Consulting looks like they're nothing more than a poorly-designed website with a PO Box. They've published a couple of extremely unusual polling reports (Republican Tom Cole at only 54% for re-election amongst GOP primary voters in Oklahoma? Bloody ridiculous...), without any supporting methodology, and frankly may be little more than a couple of hacks spinning numbers to generate "buzz".
"Persistence Consulting": Polling -- or Trolling?
"...In 2004, Cole won his first re-election with 78% of the vote, easily defeating an independent and outpolling President Bush. In 2006, while Governor Henry coasted to re-election and Democrats won all but one statewide office, Congressman Cole won 65% of voters. And in 2008, he carried the district with 66% of the vote, the same as John McCain. Are we really to believe that a candidate winning general elections by these margins is only able to garner the support of 54% of likely Republican primary voters?"

IOW, much ado about nothing.
