you guys missed a big one: http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2007/07/insider_poll_mi.html
weather it is true or not is anyone’s guess, but certainly good news.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:34 pm
Insiders is not the most accurate. It’s the one that had Newt leading in South Carolina last month.

While I have added it to the General Race 4 2008 News, it is by no means a scientific poll; nor is it worth the paper it’s printed on.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
I think you guys (Act Blog & Tommy) are missing something. This isn’t an actual scientific poll (ala Insider Advantage); it’s a poll of “Inside the Beltway” political insiders as to whom they feel will win the respective nominations.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
I thought it was Insider’s Advantage he was refering to. i didn’t a seperate link. Ha. He leads among Washington insiders, and I thought that Romney wanted Fred to be the insider!

Tommy,
It’s not a question of who wants to be the insider candidate, or whom the insiders prefer. It’s a question of who the insiders think will win.
July 12th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
murphy,
I was kidding
July 12th, 2007 at 6:13 pm
oops! Imperfect media of communication strikes again!
July 12th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Completely understandable. A lot of my comments that might seem harsh are actually me joking, and it’s hard to tell.
July 12th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
To be totally honest, I thought it was also an insider advantage poll - either way, good news for Romney.

That video is absurd with Romney. The fact that RedState is doing the Democrat’s job for them is just as absurd. I mean, was he supposed to run on a strictly conservative Republican platform in the most liberal state in the country and win? Christ.
