Has [FiveThirtyEight.com](http://FiveThirtyEight.com) or anybody got any polling numbers on these guys? No, nobody is polling on a race that only has one actual candidate. Randall Terry is running so that he can force media outlets to run graphic anti-choice propaganda as “campaign ads.” Polls are too expensive to waste on things like that. ---
