What's Obama polling at?

[alonso_quijano]

I'm sure that some polling group has already done a new poll now that bug-nut-crazy Alan Keyes has thrown his theocratic hat in the ring. What is it now? 80-20? 85-15? Oh, this is going to be good...


(As I thought a couple of years ago when Keyes' talk show was first on MSNBC: "Alan Keyes Is Making Sense? Wow! That is news!")

1. I haven't seen any polls

I suspect that Keyes, or any Republican, would get somewhere between 30-35 % no matter what.

2. You'd be right.

IL has a 30% 'ham sandwich Republican' core among its electorate.

3. Oh, too bad...

But if anyone can get it below 30%, count on Keyes!

4. Republican oters in my county are asking for Obama literature.

Our voice-mail is full of requests for Paddy to 'drop some Obama stuff off for us' messages (Paddy's a committeeman). This does not bode well for Keyes.

:evilgrin:

5. I'm shooting for Keyes being under 29%

That's what he got in the Maryland Senate race in 1992 when he went up against Mikulski.

If he loses second place to Kohn, the IL GOP is dead. Illinois republicans are NOT taking to the idea of a carpetbagger from Maryland being their candidate and may jump ship to Kohn (more conservative Republicans) or even vote Obama (more moderate Republicans).
