Joke’s on Crank in poll

By Wally Edge

Stop us if you've heard this one:

A guy walks into a bar with a presser in his hand with the latest polls numbers for his candidate.

He says: "Hey, I've got the latest poll numbers for Jeff Crank's campaign and he's in second place."

So a guy at the bar nursing a beer says: "Yeah but what's the margin of error?"

So Crank's guy responds: "Virtually zero!"

Ha, ha, ha. That one always cracks us up.

Seriously.

A retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, Bidlack is running unopposed for the Democratic CD-5 nomination against the winner of a three-way GOP primary between incumbent U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs), Jeff Crank, and Bentley Rayburn.

An internal Crank campaign poll released Thursday shows Lamborn leading with 39.78 percent. Crank placed second with 30.74 percent, while Rayburn received 12.43 percent.

Monday Morning Politicking with Doug Lamborn

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

[img_assist|nid=1084|title=U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=226|height=276]U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) was elected to Congress in 2006 following a contentious and close CD-5 Republican primary battle. Two years later, Lamborn's re-election primary campaign has proven more troublesome than what most incumbents face, as he's squaring off against two of his 2006 primary opponents: Jeff Crank and Bentley Rayburn.
