POLL: PAUL SURGES AHEAD OF PALIN AMONG VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS MORONS by Andy Borowitz
MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) - In a sign of his increasing prominence in the so-called Tea Party movement, a new poll shows Kentucky senatorial candidate Rand Paul topping former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin among voters who describe themselves as morons.
In the poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, 42% preferred Paul, 36% preferred Palin, and the remaining 22% were unsure what the word “prefer” meant.
According to Davis Logsdon, who supervised the poll for the University of Minnesota, Paul’s surging popularity among morons is bad news for Palin, who previously had a lock on that important constituency.
“I never thought I’d say this, but if Palin is going to stay competitive with Paul, she’s going to have to start dumbing down her message.”

Fun, huh!!!
Enjoy it while it lasts--until the next Democratic screwup.
Now I am really concerned about the rising level of anger at the administration for the BP oil disaster. I think they are doing everything they reasonably can. But BP is trying as hard as they can to deflect as much blame and responsibility as they can. People expect too much from the government.
And meanwhile, the oil is still gushing.
People are legitimately angry and government is the convenient lightning rod .
