Paul’s Congressional Fortunes

A few days back, we all saw the Pajamas Media piece reporting that Paul is down double-digits to Chris Peden in the race for his congressional seat. Well, the Paul campaign has exposed the piece as yet another NeoCon smear by Roger L. Simon (yes, the same Hitchens-esque Roger L. Simon who believes the Global War on Tactics and the acceptance of gay marriage are inextricably linked), and has pointed out that Paul is up by at least 40 points, 60-20 (20 are undecided/refuse to answer). Here’s an email from Mark Elam to NRO’s David Freddoso:

Peden is NOT leading Dr. Paul in this race. In fact, most voters still don’t even know who Peden is. How do I know this? Because I am Ron Paul’s campaign manager and I have personally overseen 4 different political surveys in district 14 in recent weeks. All 4 surveys have shown the same results: Ron Paul has a high favorable rating and high marks on his job approval. And if the election were held today, 60+ percent of the GOP voters say they would vote to reelect Ron Paul, while only 18-20% chose Peden. The remaining 20% or so say they are undecided or refuse to give an answer to these scientific and statistically accurate surveys.

Paul will win his Congressional primary and press on with the r3VOLution. With plenty of scandals bubbling up under the surface for the McManiac, delegates may just have to vote their conscious at the Convention if he’s forced to withdraw from the race.
