But Randian Paul ain't gonna win shit.

How unpopular Willard Gecko is exposes how screwed the Repugs are vs Barry HUSSEIN Obama.

Not one of their candidates is anywhere near electable, even with the Repugs' massive (Dem) voter suppression.

[baseline bum]

Romney has cash, so public opinion right now doesn't mean dick.

[Blake]

It doesn't matter how popular Paul is...he'll never win the nomination or be POTUS.

[Goran Dragic]

If that Gallup Pole is right (some of those numbers are hard to believe imo) then it doesn't matter who wins the Republican primary because Obama is gonna smoke them (though I doubt 50% of this country has a favorable opinion of him).

Poll: Given Choice Between Romney and Santorum, Most Voters Choose Suicide

http://www.borowitzreport.com/wp-content/uploads/romney-santorum.jpg

Survey Spells Trouble for GOP, Pollster Says

DETROIT (The Borowitz Report) – With just one day until the key Republican contests in Michigan and Arizona, a new survey of likely voters indicates that in a match-up between former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, a majority would choose suicide over either candidate.

The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, shows Mr. Romney drawing 21%, Mr. Santorum 18%, and various forms of suicide 61%.

“Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus” was the most popular means of suicide at 22%, with “jumping off the roof of a really tall building or bridge” coming in second at 17%.

According to pollster Davis Logsdon, the surging popularity of suicide bodes ill for both Gov. Romney and Sen. Santorum as presidential candidates in 2012.

“It’s still early, but even at this stage of the game the prospect of one of those two being nominated shouldn’t be making voters want to kill themselves in these numbers,” Mr. Logsdon said.

Reached on the campaign trail in Lansing, Mr. Romney pointed out that while he did not do as well as suicide, he still polled higher than Sen. Santorum, adding, “That’s better than a sharp stick in the eye.”

But Mr. Logsdon was quick to throw cold water on Mr. Romney’s upbeat assessment: “In a head-to-head match-up, a sharp stick in the eye beats Romney by a two-to-one margin.”

Repug choices are so bad, there is talk of an open convention, and of drafting somebody like Jeb "the smart brother" Bush.

Vice-President Randian Paul, a "pitcher of warm spit".

[cheguevara]

it's called strategy

[Blake]

it's called strategy

You agree with boutons that his strategy is to be Romney's VP?

[cheguevara]

You agree with boutons that his strategy is to be Romney's VP?

strategy about who you attack.

:lmao he'd never be Romney's VP. get real

[Blake]

strategy about who you attack.

:lmao he'd never be Romney's VP. get real

So his strategy was to never attack the guy that looks to be in the lead?

genius!

[cheguevara]

So his strategy was to never attack the guy that looks to be in the lead?

genius!

it's clear as day ain't it? Ron Paul knows voters who support Romney are mostly neocons who like big government. They want the status quo.

Paul is going for voters who want to change the status quo.

[cheguevara]

also another thing, Romney does not attack Paul either. They must have some kind of cease fire agreement in place. Strategy.

but Blake would not know nothing about that :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Romney doesn't attack RP because he's a non-factor, pretty simple.

[Bill_Brasky]

:lmao but the guy who doesn't believe in separation of church and state is.

[Blake]

but Blake would not know nothing about that :lol

Rofl

If Paul is trying to win, why in the world would he have a cease fire with anyone ahead of him in the polls?

Who is his strategist? Romney?

[Agloco]

47% > 40% !!!

:lol

What exactly gives this significance?

[TeyshaBlue]

lol @ cheerleading 7pt spread with a 4pt MOE.

[Spurminator]

What exactly gives this significance?

Because as everyone knows, when you go to the poll to vote, you pick the person you like the least. At the end, the one with the most votes is named Loser.

[ChumpDumper]

it's clear as day ain't it? Ron Paul knows voters who support Romney are mostly neocons who like big government. They want the status quo.

Paul is going for voters who want to change the status quo.So Ron Paul's strategy is to lose without trying.

Interesting.
