Maybe something along the lines of "Do you think Rand Paul believes...[insert weird libertarian view here]". Then ask "Do you think Rand Paul's views on this question are closer to your own than Trey Grayson's are?"<br /><br />One other thing...while you're doing Kentucky, could you poll the Kentucky 2012 Republican Presidential primary? You decided to add Gingrich to your permanent pool of candidate choices after he split the vote with Palin in one state, and I'd like to see if he has that same effect in most states.PNCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-39688083997949803722010-05-13T11:40:01.116-05:002010-05-13T11:40:01.116-05:00Is it important that more than 99% of his contribu...Is it important that more than 99% of his contributions come from small donors not special interests?<br /><br />I think he is running as a reformer, a politician who will fight for the interests of the average person against those who owe their jobs to the special interests they serve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-31379070498329708172010-05-13T11:25:18.703-05:002010-05-13T11:25:18.703-05:00What is your primary reason for choosing your cand...What is your primary reason for choosing your candidate?<br /><br />1) He's more conservative.<br />2) He's more moderate.<br />3) He's an outsider.<br />4) He has more experience.<br />5) I don't like his opponent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928675187803337574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-12272360891071458282010-05-13T11:09:02.976-05:002010-05-13T11:09:02.976-05:00Support for the Iraq war; support for military act...Support for the Iraq war; support for military action against Iran if they refuse to end their nuclear program; Cheney v.

Rand Paul is unassailable on spending and limited government while being attacked on national security issues. What is the percentage that cares most about the domestic issues as opposed to the national security issues. <br /><br />Does Grayson hold any weight amongst those who care about national security issues? Or is it possible Republicans are moving away from Bush era Wilsonianism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
