1. Earl says it best:

Batshit Crazy

[Toucano]

3. That sums it up quite well. n/t

4. Of course, the 6 year old might be smart enough to have not voted for her

2. why is a 6 year old voting in a straw poll

:shrug:

5. "now if you were a little boy, I'd let you see my implanted bosom"

Instead, I'll just write in your vote for you.

:rofl:

6. Please tell me that headline on her website is bunk, please?

How is Nelson actually doing?

[Divine Discontent]

8. very well... she's so bizarre for telling her staff to say "beats" nelson

13. That's what I thought, too

I thought that it is a satire. But it really seems to be her website. It's so dumb that it's hard to believe that this is really true. She must be really crazy...

[Divine Discontent]

7. STOP!!!!!!!

this IS real!!?!! LOL.. she's cuckoo! but ya know, when you have NO good news to report, you're going to put a story on your website touting that you're leading in a tiny poll of nutjobs at a park

9. This is amusing. Can't beat Harris? Can't beat Santorum? Then...

...find another line of work.

10. She really truly is nuts, isn't she?

Just proof that we need comprehensive mental health services for people in need in this country.

[walldude]

12. LOl... yeah but can you think of a candidate that is

more fun to watch? I've never enjoyed self-destruction so much in my life...

[Kierkegaard]

14. We need people running for political office to pass some sort

of competency exam before they can be allowed to run! Of course, then who would we laugh at?

She is a freakin' lunatic.

[beyurslf]

15. I toss around crazy alot when talking about Repub but damn she

is just off the wall nuts. Someone needs to force feed her the meds in the morning or something.

What's next? An internal poll of her staff that shows she will get 60% of their votes? :)

[Lerkfish]

16. I'd be very surprised if it was that high.

:)

[Kierkegaard]

17. I toss around crazy when talking about lots of folks, but this is

the real deal. She surely must have some sort of mental illness.

I think her next move is to just come out and declare herself Senator Pneumatic Sweater Puppies(R)

18. "Harris Beats Nelson 54/45% Among 6yr olds(w/Harris help Marking Ballots)

A more appropriate Headline

Quick someone send it to CNN for Breaking News.

19. Grasping at Straw Polls ... stuffing the ballot box like she stuffs a bra

Deplorable. The low-lifes we have in politics today are what causes recalls of leafy vegetables.
