Inside the Numbers; Republicans for Moran?

Saturday, April 4, 2009

In a post on raisingmoran.com, "Ruth" claims the following:
Republicans have the opportunity in the open Democratic primary to cast their votes for the weakest of the three candidates
Interesting comment, and there's a lot of truth to that. The recent PPP poll also included who the Republicans are supporting in this year's June 9 Democratic primary:

McAuliffe: 8%
Deeds: 8%
Moran: 39%

In fact, Moran's support is stronger amongst Republicans (39%) than among Democrats (22%). You can find this information in the recently released PPP Poll, on page 5. According to the logic of Ruth's post, either Republicans believe that Moran is not the progressive that he claims to be or he is the weakest candidate amongst the Democrats.
