Watch
Schock just released an internal poll that shows him winning a 4-way Republican primary against LaHood, Morris and McConoughey with 41% of the vote. Next closest is LaHood with 22% and the others have 3% each. The poll also tested general election strength for each of the Republicans but for some reason, only against Grawey. Schock did the best of the Republicans, beating Grawey 53-20. You can take this internal poll for what it is worth (which is probably not much).
If Versace gets into the race it could get very interesting. It seems like there is a possibility that he could self fund but I'm just speculating there. Anyone know for sure? |
