The latest Rasmussen poll of the Governor’s race came out yesterday – a week before I expected it, possibly due to the holidays.
In this report, the first to officially count Jeff Chapman, Ox actually managed to go up a single point since October, to 28% – the first time since June he has improved on a survey. His closest competitors managed to improve a combined 5 points, with Karen Handel moving to 14% and Deal right there with her at 13%. Each of the remaining candidates are at 2% (meaning McBerry fell 1 point and Austin Scott still has yet to move either up or down), with 6% supporting “some other candidate” and 32% undecided.
Furthermore, of the group, John Oxendine continues to have both the highest unfavorable and the lowest “not sure” numbers. In other words, more people know his name than any other candidate, and more of them don’t like him.
But here’s where the lie comes in from the Ox camp. They issued press release yesterday where at a bare minimum, Tim Echols, Ox’s campaign manager, shows that 3rd grade math isn’t exactly his strong point. You see, 28 is exactly two times 14, yet Tim Echols said in a press release that Ox has “more than a 2-1 margin over his closest opponent”. (emphasis mine)
So let’s see John… you take more than 100K from a doctor to fix an insurance dispute for him – including flying to hang out with your pals, the Hollywood liberals, and partying with Atlanta’s most well known homosexual, Elton John – and then you try to exaggerate your poll numbers yet again. You do this all the while trying to paint your opponent as having a “history with the gay-activist community” (pot, meet kettle…), threatening men, women, and children if they don’t toe your line, and supporting men accused of threatening to beat their wives.
And yet you think we, the People of Georgia, should trust you with one of the top three positions in our State?
