The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

An online poll of RedState.org members found Senator Sam Brownback holding a position in the middle of the pack. This poll is not scientific.

Newt Gingrich 19%
Rudy Giuliani 17%
John McCain 17%
George Allen 13%
Sam Brownback 10%
Mitt Romney 9%
Haley Barbour 5%
Bill Frist 3%
Mike Huckabee 2%
George Pataki 0%

Does this mean anything at all? Not really. The audience at RedState is decidedly more conservative than the normal public and also tends to be virulently anti-immigrant. It is a good indication of how the conservative blogosphere feels about candidates this far in advance.

What jumps out at me is the high level of support he attracts even with his controversial stances on immigration. I had predicted his support to be around 5% this far out. I still firmly believe that he is a sleeper candidate that will surprise many. He is dangerously radical but if he can charm GOP moderates with faux compassion his support could easily climb.
