AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!
IBTZ!
To which my response is... um, ooooookay.
The truth is, I think that's putting a little too much emphasis on one non-binding straw poll. Yes, Ron Paul's support within the GOP is growing; but 2012 is still very much looking like Sarah Palin's year. Indeed, with her endorsement of Rand Paul in Kentucky, I think that we'll probably see more of the Paul People moving towards Sarah Palin's camp, rather than the other way around.
For myself, I think that's a very smart move on Governor Palin's part. And it looks like Kentucky's going to get a great Senator out of the deal, as well -- since both Rand Paul and Trey Grayson are currently out-polling their prospective Democrat opponents, with Rand Paul out-polling the Dems by a potential landslide.
Rand Paul is Ron Paul with real actual electability. This is a very good thing for a GOP in desperate need of fresh blod.
Can’t understand a word Paul says. Audio on the clip is terrible.
More Sarah Palin/Rand Paul news.
I just checked out his campaign website for his positions on issues... seems like a strong conservative to me, but I do hear rumblings he’s flip-flopped on some stances. Any insights, anyone?
Go Trey Grayson ! No more Paulbots in Congress !
Why is the last poll listed in RealClearPolitics for this race from december? Is the group that did this poll not a recognized polling company?
Rand Paul is a RINO..... how you ask? Sarah Palin supports McCain who is a RINO, thus making Palin a RINO. Palin supports Rand Paul, thus making Paul a RINO.....
Trey Grayson responded to the Reagan Revolution by becoming a leader of the Democrats at Harvard. He responded to Clintonism by becoming a Democrat supporter of Clinton. He'll be whatever he has to be to obtain power.
Bill Johnson is the true Reagan personhood pro-life, peace through strength, constitutionalist, moral conservative, Reaganite in this race.
Since these folks didn't bother to even include him, and Johnson's campaign has real traction on the ground in KY, this poll is completely worthless, except as a campaign tool to be used by the Paulites to fool people.
I hope Rand Paul is a lot like his father, but there is no way to know except for his words which suggest so.
Not that I’m a Ron Paul fan, its just that at this point Ron Paul is about the only republican with a record of keeping his word in Washington D.C.
He’s not seen as a fringe.
er yes he is , he’s a frigging nut
AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!
IBTZ!

MAGELLAN DATA AND MAPPING STRATEGIES APOLOGIZES FOR NOT INCLUDING BILL JOHNSON AND OTHER DECLARED US SENATE CANDIDATES IN KENTUCKY GOP PRIMARY SURVEY
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Louisville, CO – Magellan Strategies CEO David Flaherty today contacted US Senate candidate Bill Johnson and apologized to him personally for not including his name in Magellan’s February 18th survey of likely Republican primary voters. Magellan CEO David Flaherty stated “It was a gross oversight on our part and we sincerely apologize for any problems this may have caused to the Johnson, Grayson and other Republican US Senate campaigns in Kentucky.”
Flaherty continued, “The US Senate ballot test question from our February 18th survey is not accurate because Bill Johnson and other declared candidates were not included in the question. Without Bill Johnson and the other primary candidates included in the ballot test question the results are obviously not an accurate reflection of the Republican primary ballot that voters will choose from on May 18th.”
David Flaherty also contacted the Trey Grayson Campaign to apologize for the error.
FYI, the poll numbers that reflect reality, according to both the Johnson and Grayson campaigns, can be found HERE. They show Rand Paul in third, and the strength of his support to be very weak.
This guy, bradyjonathon, has sent out a Ron Paul spam FReepmail and needs ZOTting. Thanks.
