BWA-HA-HA-HA!

These are new numbers, post Megyn Kelly. The two looniest candidates, the Birther King and Ben "NAMBLA Tourette's" Carson, have taken the lead and then some.

The funniest part is supply sider establishment darling and possible Jeb! alternative, Scott Koch, crashing down to to Huckabee numbers.

That was hilarious

5. Who's the bottom? nt

6. I've been saying all along it will be Carson. But to be accurate, he is tied with Cruz,

not ahead. Their two point difference is within the margin of error, which means a statistical tie.

And in the case of a poll, that matters.

9. Scott Koch! I love it!

On the national level being the Koch's chosen one seems to be the kiss of death. Just ask President Romney.

Barbara cleansed the sperm before impregnation of any empathy, shame, or embarrassment.
