GOP rivals drop behind Obama in N.C. poll

Is the whole world crazy?!

The fate of the nation is at stake and 40% of NC voters are less likely to vote for Perry, because 20 years ago he made an unkind statement about the taste of NC barbecue?!

And why is the poll even asking that question, who even remembers that -- the only reason is to try to use even the most ridiculous thing against Perry.

[Clairity]

Perry ping

[llandres]

Whatever :-)

The Left can play mindgames and spin meaningless numbers all they want to.

That's depressing. I mean, how can someone defend that?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Indeed. You’d have to be NUTS to support that open borders fraud, La Raza Rick !

[Maurice Tift]

  They mentioned Christie (not running) but somehow avoided mentioning Herman Cain.

The survey also found that Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s comments back in 1992 that he had tasted road kill that tasted better than Eastern North Carolina barbecue were not helpful. The poll found that 75 percent of Tar Heel voters disagreed with that statement, and 40 percent of voters were less likely to vote for him because of that statement.

Well, I now know who I am not going to ever vote for...the designer of this stupid poll.

I ordered a chicken sandwich once in Virginia very close to the North Carolina border and was shocked to discover that said sandwich contained bones...

I will never, ever vote for NC chicken sandwiches again!

If anyone believes this PPP poll, I got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale cheap.

Perception is everything, especially in politics. If you are soft on illegal immigration, as projected by your governor, then you are perceived as being complicit in his scheme to flood the nation with illegals.

Are you a bitter clinger?

Become a monthly donor to Free Republic and another bitter clinger will donate $10 in your honor!

[Cowboy Bob]

In none of the polls does Obama pull over 50%. Not good for Barry, no matter how you try to spin it...

[Doofer]

And still the Bamster still can’t break the 50% barrier.

[Politics4US]

It’s because Boehner is horrible as Speaker of the House.

[John Semmens]

Well, NC barbeque is pretty bad.

So that would be a credit to Perry’s honesty and sense of taste.

[The_Obama_Gerbil]

isn’t this one of the polls used by MSNBC? It’s as believable as the jobs bill that will turn the economy around like it was 1995 all over again. Let them take a Poll with a Romney/Cain ticket {you know they will only poll demorats}

[spokeshave]

Ha,.....I think it should be a Romney/McCain ticket...

[max americana]

Maybe you haven’t been here for some time but addicted Freepers like myself and other know that PPP is run by Soros and the magic phrase IN THE ARTICLE IS PPP is “DEMOCRAT LEANING”.

[max americana]

You were the only in the entire thread who got it about PPP...
