Ughhhhh Trump really is polling that well.

Wow. I was hoping Trump's saying he would likely run independent would sink him but I guess people are really concerned about the birth certificate. Or I don't know what. The support for Trump shakes my faith in my fellow man much more than anything else about this campaign, so far.

Do you think Obama was born in the US?

Yes - 22%
No - 53%
Not sure - 26%

Of those that say no, 30% picked Trump.

in W.Va's GOP primary------ HUCKABEE + TRUMP are almost HALF the potential voters...!?!!!
if a candidate can pull at both blocks come the convention with about TEN favorite sons...?

Ughhhhh Trump really is polling that well.

not only is TRUMP polling well, sunday's CELEB APPRENTICE had him do a canvas.

poor LaToya must be the solid Democrat, she follows GARY BUSEY out the door

and becuz she did not step out and away from any hypothetical campaign task,

NBC does not want the FEC on it's corperate derriere, they do not have the last

firing being part of a publicity cycle. TRUMP is just about to be serious... it also

looked like MEATLOAF was about to be his campaign manager quicker than you

can opine MATT COLLINs or the legendary MARK HANNA! i think i saw degrees of

acceptance of the TRUMPSTER in the current cast who is surviving the lettings go!

i am a fan of the show anyway, and i have seen how THE DONALD is by degrees

getting into the SUPERTUESDAY sweepstakes. He just pulled a classic LBJ nose!count!

does he want STAR to be his freebee legal dep't + the 3 guys to be his campaign staff?

70% of the likely Republican primary voters they polled are over the age of 46.

By taking statistics everyone here should be well aware 274 is an extremely small sample size. 1,000 is typically the smallest you wanna go to be accurate.

Also like tsai said, they're polling old people.

I believe they pick the ages based on past voter turnouts, I'm not completely sure, but that's what I assumed.

Edit: Read the numbers wrong, 274 is small for PPP, they usually have 400.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Obama has a birth certificate already, but they're making a big deal out of it to get fake support against Obama about it. Trump will be the "front-runner" given bias and faked results in his favor because they want a Trump vs. Obama election. Obama will then release his certificate and Trump will lose all credibility which leads to another Obama term.

no excuses - there is work to be done.

[Matt Collins]

WV isn't a legal state. It's fiction created by Lincoln the Tyrant.

[Aratus]

Matt Collins... auld Virginny going 'secess' ultimately
created this celebrated factoid that kept on re~elect~in'
the fiddler by destiny who was known to us as ROBERT BYRD.

[Aratus]

humble W.Va had wanted to split off frum
AULD VIRGINNY for the VERY LONGEST TYME!
the 4-way split in 1860 gave them all an opening!
