6. Yes and Kinky got there first

They probably have more organization on their lists. Someone passed it along to me. If you dare go to the Stinky Kinky web site they are bragging about winning the poll against Rick Perry. Not sure when this switched over to be a contest between Bell and kinky, but the race is on and we're way behind. Doesn't look like the site allows you to double vote either.

Goodhair loses every one of the paired polls, even against the Libertarian!:rofl:

I would love to see Ricky actually come in dead last in November. That would be such a hoot.

14. Oh, sure lets elect another clown ass wipe like Kinky Friedman

I saw him interviewed on 60 Minutes. He's a lout, a bigot and he'll alienate the Texas Latino community in a nano second. He's doing this for some reason, I know not what, but he's just another
celebrity who is smart enough to figure out that there's a sucker born every minute.

Ask the genius what he thinks about global warming and get back to me.

[DesertRat]

30. These resulta are so insane that Kinky believes them (that's pretty damn

insane):

NPT: You must get this all the time. What makes you think you have a chance to win?

Friedman: That's pretty obvious. In virtually every poll, from all over the state, we've really kicked Rick Perry's ass, including the new poll in Midland , which is as you know George Bush's hometown. This has been pretty much the way it's been. The only poll Perry wins is the likely voter poll and that represents only 29 percent of people. This election is going to be much bigger.

NPT: How long do you think it will take before you're taken seriously as a candidate, and we in the media and the public at large stops asking that question?

Friedman: I think we already are taken seriously by everybody but the politicians. The poll and the pundits don't take us seriously, but the people do. Look at the Dallas Business Journal, for instance. They're not our polls. Look at the paper in Victoria, Texas, which asked the question, and got 85 percent for Kinky, 15 for Rick Perry. He's had his chance and its time for a change and everyone in Texas is ready for a non-politician for governor.
