"SNIP...................



PPP's newest Republican national poll finds that Ted Cruz has the big momentum following the official announcement of his candidacy last week. His support has increased from 5% to 16% in just over a month, enough to make him one of three candidates in the top tier of GOP contenders, along with Scott Walker and Jeb Bush. […]

Cruz has really caught fire with voters identifying themselves as 'very conservative' since his announcement.

He likely only has that momentum because he actually announced, and because the really crazy base voters pretty much had just Carson to get behind. Those Carson voters seem to be where Cruz did best—Carson dropped from 18 to 10 percent since PPP's last poll.

But Cruz has all the momentum now! You keep going, Ted! It's time for another government shutdown! Take over the House again! We need you in the race for the presidency, Senator, so get cracking.

that it is a premature ejaculation. Hopefully, he will flame out early in the primaries like Rick Perry did.

7. WMUR is quite ready to annoint him as front-runner

Only Network affilliate in NH (ABC). They have a serious addiction problem - PAC money$$$$$$. So they are giving Teddy boy a nicle push, in hopes that he'll drop some Koch money their way. They seem to think Jeb's in the bag, not so much for Rick Perry (his pill-driven meltdown happend on their stage), Scott Walker has'nt been to Manchester for taping yet,

8. The clown car had several drivers last election

Don't think this one will be any different.
