[Election 2008] Assuming Mitt Romney will be Utah's Republican presidential candidate of choice is a given right up there with knowing alco-pops are destined for State Liquor Stores and that Gold's Gym is a hotbed of steaming, sweaty smut ... but wait!A straw poll held by St. George's Dixie Republican Forum on Tuesday elected ... Ron Paul! The results, as determined by citizens who live in the middle of a strip mall surrounded by golf courses (or vice-versa, depending on the part of town): Ron Paul: 28. Mitt Romney: 18. Alan Keyes: 7 (!). Fred Thompson: 5. John McCain: 5. Mike Huckabee: 2. Rudy Giuliani: 1. Tom Tancredo: 1.
That's right--Alan Keyes placed third, but probably only because Bo Gritz isn't in the running. (Bill Frost)
Actually, the impression Alan Keyes doesn't have a chance is being deliberately conveyed by the media. It's because they know he CAN win and THEY don't want us to hear what he has to say.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is, the Keyes campaign is gaining momentum through compounding interest, i.e. person-to-person, in spite of the media.
There's a huge group of people who aren't impressed with any of the candidates. And word is getting out that Alan is running.
The media and powers in the Republican Party will only be able to suppress the truth for so long.
Shut off the TV and spend a half hour to watching some Keyes videos at www.alankeyes.com
