Ras and Gallup have been loyal campaigners and as long as there's Republican/CU money in the world, they'll have secure incomes for doing what they do.

But if they blow this one which I believe they will their image will take a huge hit. And Ras polls out of Hannity's attic...Gallup is the largest and oldest polling organization in the world
