Ahhh. So Taitz doesn't think she's going to win. She's just going through the motions of campaigning to attract attention to "the message."

Crafty!

There was polling in Georgia in the 1960s, but it is going to be hard to retrieve the results and they might not speak to the issue of exactly how the voters of Georgia viewed Lester Maddox. What we recognize today as polling began in the U.S. in the 1930's. Most polls were national, so the subsample of Georgia citizens would not have meant anything. However, accounts of Maddox's career do refer to Gallup state polls about his prospects against his competitors, which included Jimmy Carter. Searching the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is probably the best way of retrieving the results. Local editorials and letters to the editor are somewhat more likely to be informative about how Maddox was viewed. I would bet that he was seen as a hero.

I generally disapprove of the "malicious primary vote" trick, because there is usually some non-zero possibility of the horrible candidate actually getting elected and being a menace to society. There is an absolute zero risk of Orly getting elected.

Perhaps O'rly will come in second. Perhaps not. I doubt O'rly will spend a nickel on television advertising. The Republican party will likely spend something on their endorsed candidate, even in a losing cause. We here at TFB have name recognition of O'rly. I don't think O'rly has that much other name recognition outside the nutjob and birther communities. It's going to be interesting. Again, I want O'rly to finish in a solid 5th place.

It took her 3 months, but Orly has finally gotten around to submitting the name and address of the the bank that allegedly holds her campaign bank account. The FEC issued her a letter requesting the information (because she initially did not fill out the form properly, of course) on Nov. 18.

That $500 (less expenses)! That should cover the fee to not be endorsed by the California GOP!

So.....Where's the IRS in all this Orlymess?

I thought O'rly put a $50 stamp on everything.

"Stamp, stamp, stamp." - Orly Taitz, Jan 26, 2012.

Hmmm -- is there something like CA sales tax due, or is there a mom-and-pop-small-shop limit to be reached first ?

I believe the rule is - If the buyer is instate, then you should be collecting sales tax. If the buyer is not buying from a location in CA, then CA would love to collect sales tax on that too.

The Repub winner will be the one who spends the most $$ on advertising. O'rly, how much do you plan on spending?

My guess is that CA Republicans are concerned about this and will start to spend money on the endorsed candidate. They must know that they can't win in the fall with any of their candidates, but they don't want to have to deal with having Orly on the ballot. I would love to see negative ads against her and her reaction to them.

Looks like that "Not Sure" fellow is in second place among likely voters.

Only if narrowly means unanimously .

The Republicans are insane.

If Taitz spent at least $500,000 she could lock up second place in the primary.

She won't.

So be happy. Don't worry.

Unfortunately, we will be denied that fun, IMO. I think what will happen is GOP advertising will be about Emken, in a positive vein only. The last thing the GOPs want to do is even acknowledge that Orly is a Republican. They will spend some, but not a lot. I still think that once that happens, Orly will lose those votes that come from name recognition only. And I do think that is the main factor -- people polled know her name and not who she is, in such early polling, GOPs respond with her name. That will fade and those votes will switch to Emken with $4-5M in advertising by the Party. Nonetheless, I think that Ramirez may well end up in second place because in an Open Primary and in an atmosphere where ethnicity is a driving factor because of the immigration issue, Latinos may well cross over and vote for him regardless of party or his positions.

I predict that Orly will end up in 4th place with less than 10 percent. (And that she will scream "rigged, corrupt." Duh!) I also predict she will file at least one suit against one of the following: 1) The CA GOP; 2) SoS Debra Bowen; 3) Emken or Ramirez (or both!). I expect before long she will be directing her FMs to look for dirt on her GOP competition. Any other prognostications?

OD: I agree with you re: negative advertising against Orly. I would still love to see it though.

They arrived at insanity in the mid-late 90's and flew well past it by the early 2000's. I think they are so far gone insane would be a few miles up.
