Wow, here’s a political stunner for a Friday morning.
It seems there’s a new political survey out.
It seems there’s one of them every few minutes in these presidential election years. Who would you rather hear at the Kiwanis Club? Who would you like to attend your PTA meeting? Whom would you prefer to braise ribs for?
Anyway, this new survey shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the former naval attack pilot who actually landed jet planes on a moving aircraft carrier after getting shot at, the guy who lives in the West and hikes the Grand Canyon with his two sons in the military, the one who has three dogs among assorted pets and likes to wear flannel shirts around the house with his wife, the blond who drives race cars, is considerably more popular among the nation’s 40 million hunters and fisherpersons than the other presidential candidate who went to Harvard Law School, married another lawyer, pals around with Oprah in Chicago knowing about arugula and has promised to get his children a dog after the election.
Hard to believe, but it’s true. The numbers don’t lie.
Our co-blogger Pete Thomas has the full details over on the Outposts blog right here.
