Nut-notes for the week of June 6, 2011:
Nut has been absent from the news this week. Reports say he is on vacation. Maybe. Maybe he just decided to get out of town and hope people forget his disastrous two weeks since announcing he's running for president.
Can he make the comeback? No way.
I get the feeling that everything about him is phoney -- including his religious conversion and the sincerity of his religious faith. I'd be fine if he had none. But he's trying to trade on it, and he does such patently obvious moves to court the religious right, that it's hard to believe it's genuine. It's so predictably, obviously what he thinks will help him politically -- and, because it seems so staged and manipulative, it seems false -- even if it may be truly sincere.
Take his "coming back to Georgia" to make his campaign headquarters in Atlanta. Nut has no special place in Georgia. He lived in Carrollton a while and taught history, and he was elected to Congress from there, but no way is Nut a Georgian. And Georgians know it.
Latest InsiderAdvantage/Channel 2 poll, reported in the AJC of Georgia voters:
Herman Cain 26%
Michele Bachmann 13%
Newt Gingrich 12%
Sarah Palin 11%
Mitt Romney 10%
Tim Pawlenty 1%
Man !!! T-Paw just can't seem to catch the gold ring. I wonder how Nut feels about trailing Michele Bachmann in his "home state."
It's not a good sign for Nut, that's for sure. When you poll 12% in the state you chose to be your base and trail behind Michele Bachmann at that -- it's a very very bad sign.
