“Dave Nalle, whose polling firm, Azimuth, recently released a poll showing Congressman Ron Paul in front of Texas Governor Rick Perry by five points among Texas Republicans, admitted this week, “Maybe we got too many live responses from people who live in certain sections of the state. It wasn’t intentional, but it looks from the numbers that we caught a lot more people at home in the Houston area than we expected to, out of proportion with the rest of the state, and that includes the area that Paul represents.”


So that calls into question whether Paul led in that poll. Which is a different poll than the one we are talking about.

All polls have this thing called margin of error.

The polling guy admits they polled at a time when they got ‘too many people’ at home.

What time is that?

I would guess that would be working hours when the rest of us are working.

And who are the people home then? The people who are not working.

Liberals in Texas hate Perry almost as much as the Cain posters.

But to say he’s not popular in Texas is ridiculous. He’s never lost an election here and he won governor easily over someone who was considered a formidable candidate—Kaye Bailey Hutchison.
