SC 4th Congressional Poll Results are in…

At midnight on February 5th, 2010, polling closed for our SC 4th Congressional District Poll.  It was open for a week and we had a variety of responses and general comments on the race.

We did our best to market the poll via Twitter and Facebook and other means to help promote each of the candidates fairly.  You can see screen shots below.

I would love to say that internet polling was accurate.  If that were the case Ron Paul would have been President.  Given the amount of traffic we received compared to the number of votes, I would hope this was a fair indication of the people in the 4th Congressional District.

Without further delay, here are the results…

36% – Jim Lee
18% – Trey Gowdy
18% – Bob Inglis
18% – Christina Jeffrey
07% – David Thomas

My biggest surprise is the indecisiveness for the potential runoff candidate.  With Gowdy, Inglis, and Jeffrey all tied for 2nd, this may be the largest battle.  Between these three candidates, you see the outside Ron Paul supporters backing Jeffrey who has been threatening to censor individuals recently on Facebook and a potential split between the establishment candidates of Inglis and Gowdy.

This is a race I have been looking forward to seeing play out and it will only get more interesting the closer we get to June.  What do you think about these results?

Jeffrey Attempting to Censor Social Media

Last week on Facebook, one of our Libertarian leaning friends posted an interesting comment.  It read…”just defriended a Congressional candidate.” -> view here

By the way, they live in the 4th Congressional District, which further fueled my interest.  So I had to inquire…who and why?

Come to find out, the candidate was none other than Christina Jeffrey.  The very candidate who claims to be a Tea Party candidate and invokes the friendship of Ron Paul frequently.

Needless to say, for you Ron Paul supporters out there, this does nothing to help your cause.

Apparently their camp was wanting to remove posts from Facebook that they felt were not on point.  According to our source, it was communicated with him (“paraphrased”) that they were deleting his posts because their ultimate goal was to win.

“Yesterday, I got an email from her daughter saying that she would be deleting posts that are not ‘on topic’. I started smelling a rat, and told her if she did that I would de-friend Christina both on facebook and in person. Within 10 minutes I got a call and a text from Christina saying that we ‘needed to talk’ …

This morning, I got an email from her daughter stating, in part, that ‘the ultimate goal is to win’.”

WOW!!!!  Ultimate goal is to win.  Not help better America, not change the ways of Washington.  It was all about winning.

And this is not the first time she has tried this.

Earlier in 2009, an anonymous poster on our blog made mention of her little served time as historian in Congress and how she was removed for controversial comments concerning history books that didn’t provide all the differing views of the Holocaust.  She was later found to be not in fault, but the particular commenter did not share that.

What happened though is she decided to come after me for allowing the comment to be posted and demanded that I take it down.  The point of the comment was true, it just did not share the entire truth.  You can view the comment here and the email here.

Have you had similar experiences with Jeffrey?  Share them below.

UPDATE:
I will grant Paul posts a lot of things, sharing different views.  With that said though, she also made the request that he not mention anything about her history, in particular her stint as Historian under Newt Gingrich.  My apologies for leaving that out.
