Kinky's winning another poll
A new poll in the Midland Reporter Telegram has Kinky winning by 10 points! The paper also did a profile on Kinky's campaign assessing his chances.
"I think Kinky is a force of nature and he's not going to be ignored," said UTPB Assistant History Professor Derek Catsam.
"He's an ordinary guy and yet larger than life. If it's a joke, he's not in on it and that's when they become dangerous."
The message going into the end of the summer is that this is a wide-open race--the only thing we know for sure is that the people want change. That makes us happy, because we know that an outsider, a non-politician, is the only one who can bring change to Texas. And though there are many candidates in this race, Kinky is still the only one who fits that description.
And check out this article in the Kerrville Daily Times:
Medina resident Friedman is the Hill Country’s local candidate, but in staunchly Republican Kerr County, does he even have a chance of winning on his own home turf?
“This has got to be Perry country,” Friedman said Friday. “If he can’t win the Republican Hill Country, he can’t win.”
The financial war chests amassed by Perry and Strayhorn are huge compared to Kinky’s,
But “I think money doesn’t vote, people do,” he said. “Everybody is saying the same things. The voters really want fundamental change, not cosmetic change.”
The winds of change could blow through Texas politics this fall, like they did in Connecticut this past week. Friedman referred to voter turnout that led to incumbent Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the former vice presidential nominee, being defeated by party challenger Ned Lamont in the state primary.
“If we translate those numbers to Texas, the incumbent here is going to fall, too, like Lieberman did,” Friedman said.
Polls conducted by the Austin and San Antonio business journals in March and April give the Governor’s mansion to Friedman, a self-proclaimed “compassionate redneck.”
The emphasis is ours, but the growing Kinky buzz belongs to the Lone Star State.
