Feb 26 20103rd Congressional District race
It was a little surprising to see Democratic incumbent Ben Ray Luján vulnerable in this race. This is a safely Democratic district, but the Public Policy Polling survey showed Luján up only six points over one of two Republicans vying for the right to take him on in November and eight points over the other.
In addition, it showed that he had the approval of 31 percent of those surveyed, while 40 percent said they disapprove and 29 percent said they were not sure.
One of the Republicans fighting for the right to take on Luján in November, Adam Kokesh, has the backing of the Ron Paul army. The energy and passion of that movement has been aimed at tearing down Luján and while the poll gives no indication that its succeeding in building a significant level of support for Kokesh, at least yet, maybe it is succeeding in tearing down Luján.
Or, more likely, seeing Lujan wins.
That's the truth. They much prefer a liberal Democrat to a Republican any day of the week. If this liberal Republican were to get the GOP nomination, it would be a disaster if he were elected. He would probably vote for Pelosi because he would have nothing in common with Republicans. If he doesn't get the nomination, then he will work with the Democrat to take out the Republican. That's how the Paul people work who I have seen in action.
