Senator Tommy Franks? Trails by 2 points! By: Trupolitik · Section: Diaries

I have been urging General Franks to run for the US senate for months now. It appears I am not alone. According to the latest poll he is behind Democratic incumbent, Ben Nelson, by 2 points and he has not even announced his candidacy! His Admin continues to tell me that Gen. Franks is not seeking an elected office. I think we should convice him otherwise.

What Red Stater would prefer Ben Nelson or Katherine Harris over America's General? Please let him know America needs him.

Source for the poll.

[quote]A June Mason-Dixon poll showed that Nelson would beat Katherine Harris 53 to 36 percent if the election were held at the time. Her approval rating with voters in that poll was 32 percent. Nearly the same number, 30 percent, viewed her unfavorably.

A poll conducted by Republican polling firm Strategic Vision last week showed Harris would lose a head-to-head contest with Nelson 40 to 48 percent, but would easily win a primary against several other prominent Florida Republicans, including Bense.

This has some Republicans nervous, since they believe Nelson could be more vulnerable if a less polarizing figure than Harris were to challenge him directly. For instance, former Central Command commander Gen. Tommy Franks (search) trails two points behind Nelson in the same Strategic Vision poll. [/quote]

You might want to have Admin Moderator fix your headline.

Congressman Barney Franks is the one that "tails". ;-)

Franks & Rice

Darn it. I guess that's what staying up late for finals will do. Apologies to all.

Damn that's embarrassing.

Or with some presently unknown Mr. or Mrs. Biens. Then we'd have Franks and Biens.

The top half of that ticket is well worth consideration.

I think Franks go with Beans better than with Rice.
