Alaska (PPP): Rand Paul ahead

[Tender Branson]

Important part in bold (excl. the joke candidates) ...

Reflecting the strong standing we've seen for him a lot of places lately Rand Paul is the top choice of GOP voters in Alaska with 18% to 14% for Sarah Palin, 13% for Chris Christie, 11% for Jeb Bush, 9% for Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan, 8% for Ted Cruz, 5% for Rick Santorum, and 2% for George Zimmerman.

In a Palin and Zimmerman-less field Paul gets up to 20% with Bush at 15%, Christie and Ryan at 14%, Rubio at 10%, Cruz at 9%, and Santorum at 6%.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Zimmerman's not even eligible to run in 2016.  I seriously hope PPP's just pulling our leg with that one.

Zimmermann's a registered Democrat

He was also born in 1983, so he won't be eligible to run for the Presidency until 2020. He will get his first shot at a Senate seat if he wants to run against Rubio/for the open seat (presumably as a Democrat) in 2016. If he wants to run for the House, he can do that next cycle, though it's unclear which district he's in -- whether he can be a sacrificial lamb against John Mica or hopelessly challenge Corrine Brown in the primary. (Though Zimmermann's been eligible to run for the House starting in 2008.)

And, yeah, seriously speaking Paul is a pretty good fit for Alaska Republican types.

Why the Hell would they include Zimmerman!?

Why the Hell would they include Zimmerman!?

Because PPP often includes question suggestions from their readers.

And maybe forgot to check if Zimmerman is even eligible.

But yeah, including him is a big joke. There would be more interesting questions to ask.

Why the Hell would they include Zimmerman!?

PPP frequently includes one or two joke questions just for fun.
