Good. Here’s hoping the RCP averages are the real indication and that Paul finishes (at best) fourth. That should take the wind out of the old kook’s sails.
Apparently the Mitt fan-girls will need to hyperventilate a bit harder to keep Paul from passing him.
Best to go with Newt. He is the most articulate, intelligent, and experienced candidate. Despite his past mistakes ( nobody with a forty year public career is without blemish),he will take it to Obama, make the country realize what is at stake and will win in November 2012.
That includes a lot of older polls
Rasmussen is the latest
Bad news for Newt
You can’t ignore this poll. The media certainly won’t. They’ve harped non stop on the PPP poll since it came out.
Perception is reality. Bandwagon effect is very powerful. Ignorant masses will be herded. Momentum is key. This poll and the PPP poll can do great damage to Newt’s momentum.
At best, this poll - in conjunction with the PPP poll - makes for great drama and headlines. Even if there is another poll out today with contrary results it won’t matter. These two polls will rule the day.
At worst, these polls will be used - by the establishment/media - to influence the outcome. Powerful tool for shaking the confidence in a Not Romney candidate.
Anyone remember if Rasmussen called Huckabee even getting close last cycle in Iowa?
Two polls posted back to back: Newt is winning, Romney losing. Romney is winning Newt is losing.
With luck, Paul will outdo Mitty and give the RINO a well-deserved black eye.
Newt’s dropping. When’s the primary, Jan 3 ? Should be interesting until then..
