Seriously... many more results like this one come in and I may be forced to the conclusion that --- despite the much bandied-about 'popular opinions' on the subject --- Rudy would actually make one of the WEAKEST potential G.O.P. nominees to run against most *any* of the Dem top tier candidates.

Because, it seems unlikely that he could actually pull many (if any) of the 'Blue States' into his column against a Dem --- while results like this in Texas indicate that he is perhaps lower then low in the 'Reddest' of States --- so much so that it's possible to conclude that the lack of enthusiasm for him among Red States might over-match any appeal he has in Blue States....

Running 'OK' in 'Purple States' only doesn't sound like much of a winning ticket....

ALL 'straw polls' are pretty much just beauty contests among a Party's most partisan few --- no sense in assigning all that much 'importance' to them

Exactly my point, is there any wonder Ron Paul did well when he's the ONLY person running in his party...<g>
