The Real Conservative Candidate is Gaining

Hat Tip to the excellent blog, GOP Catholics, which reports that "the real conservative candidate," Bob Barr, is polling above 5% in 19 states. In New Hampshire he is already drawing 10% of the vote. The polling data is from Zogby.

The following numbers will be even better when voters recognize that Barr is a Reaganite running against three dangerous liberals -- John McCain, Barack Hussein Obama, and Ralph Nader.

New Hampshire - 10%

Oklahoma - 9%

New Mexico - 9%

Nevada - 9%

Georgia - 8%

Colorado - 8%

Minnesota - 8%

Iowa - 8%

Arizona - 7%

Ohio - 7%

Indiana - 7%

Tennessee - 7%

Texas - 6%

Florida - 6%

Missouri - 6%

Oregon - 6%

Michigan - 6%

Maryland - 6%

South Carolina - 6%
