Okay, everybody, all together now …. “Go, Rick, Go.”

Louder!

I can’t hear you.

Okay, now I can!

Obama tops Perry

Rick Perry is looking increasingly like the Republican favorite for President- he led in the Iowa poll we released this morning and he leads by double digits in the national poll we’ll release tomorrow. The biggest beneficiary of Perry’s rise? It might be Barack Obama.

In our first national poll pitting the two Obama leads Perry 49-43. That six point advantage is pretty comparable to Obama’s margin of victory over John McCain. Perry has certainly come on strong with Republicans but independents view him negatively already by an almost 2:1 margin, 29/55, and Democrats pretty universally give him bad ratings at a 10/71 spread. As a result Obama leads Perry thanks in large part to a 24 point advantage with independents at 56-32.

I say let’s register buzzards to vote.  That’ll insure that Rick gets the GOP nomination.

Boy howdy, I could love those numbers 365 days a month and 24 hours a morning.

I honestly don’t think that Rick Perry will be the GOP nominee  because surely somebody will notice that the boy’s got more luggage than a Greyhound bus station.  Hell, even a blind squirrel can find acorns and Republican are almost as smart as squirrels.  They’ll figure it out.

But, Darlin’, this gal is rootin’ for Perry right now.
