There is a new Rasmussen poll out today with very striking data. It polls hypothetical general election match ups between Democrat Senatorial candidate Kendrick Meek vs Republican Marco Rubio or Charlie Crist. The results are as follows:
Charlie Crist- 46%
Kendrick Meek-34%
Marco Rubio-46%
Kendrick Meek-31%
These results are profound and striking for one simple reason. In light of the current conflict with the RINO GOP establishment in the special election of NY-CD-23, these results must be disseminated to debunk a common misconception. There is a narrative that has been promulgated by the RINO cesspool that the more liberal the Republican candidate, the better chance we will have in the general election. This Florida poll totally disproves this fallacy. Think of it this way. If Rubio is able to poll better than the “supper star”, 100% voter ID, popular, incumbent Gov. Charlie Crist, then there are few places in which a moderate will definitely be more electable. Certainly, in NY-23 where we have a radical leftist who is virtually unknown to most voters and is unhinged, the conservative stands a better chance of winning. The fact of the matter is that if Scozzafava would drop out, Doug Hoffman would crush the Dem.
Update: Nevada Senate Election
There is a new poll out in the Nevada Senate race polling a hypothetical match up with Dingy Harry and Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian. The results are:
Tarkanian- 46% Reid- 41%
Lowden- 47% Reid-42%
Now I am not accusing Lowden of being a RINO in the likes of Scozzafava or Crist. However, it is clear that Lowden is the more establishment candidate who might be conservative on some issues but will not be down for the struggle as a movement conservative. Tarkanian on the other hand, is a tea party activist and passionate conservative. The numbers say it all. Tarkanian, who has never been elected to public office before is polling just as strong as the state Republican Chairman.
Are these elections in 2009 or 2010?
Guess you need to be a card carrying marxist to run for statewide office at this point.
LOL! ACORN and marixst candidate. If FL had Bill Nelson and Meek then it would be probably have two of the worst and dumbest Senators in the nation.
FL & NV = 2010
NY State I think is coming up in a few weeks like VA and NJ Gov.
Pretty sure even Bill McCollum could beat Meek!
Nevada:
Rated second in unemployment numbers nationally; casinos are empty and the boys in Vegas, Reno, and Tahoe aren’t making money.
Dingry Reid is TOAST!
Conservatism wins. RINOs don’t. 2006 and 2008 prove it.
Living in Florida and family in Vegas, I am really drawn to these races. Now my adoptive home of Arizona is on the radar as well with JD Hayworth making noises about running against McCain.
Frantzie, I couldn’t agree more with your analysis of Nelson. Did you read the article I posted the link for on the interview of Rubio earlier this year? Did it answer your questions as to his stance on the illegal immigration issue?
Conservatives can help their candidates by going door to door if need be to educate the Republican voters in their area. Expose the RINO candidates as well as the RAT candidate. We’re at war for our survival as a free people.
Already there. Have the Rubio decals on all my vehicles, regularly donate to the campaign and am making my own yard signs so everyone in my neighborhood knows. In all my travels I also speak about it as much as I can to anyone willing to listen.
I will also send money to JD once he announces. I joined the local REC to inject another voice to get rid of the Progressive Republicans (RINOs).
He could but he will run for Governor instead.
kempster,
these are both 2010. only NY-CD 23 is in a few weeks.
My survey for you.
Why do you ask questions that many of your establishment members would side with President Obama on?
How can you let the likes of Lindsay Graham, Olympia Snow, & Chuck Hagel take sides against our interests and not be reprimanded?
Why does the National GOP back questionable candidates like Gov. Crist and DeDe Scozzafava NY-23 when there are viable CONSERVATIVE alternatives?
Until these are answered, I will not give to the national party, but to individual candidates that are truly conservative and stand on REAGAN principles.
thanks
