Another week that sees the most movement from Boyda, though Ryun continues a slow upward trek and even Jenkins saw some new peeps on the Facebook side of things.

In end, we understand such things are hard for Republicans....there aren't so many young people you identify with the GOP...but it's so good they're trying.

Remember, each week we'll indicate any up and down movement by putting increasing numbers in bold and falling numbers in italics.

There may not be many young people who identify with the GOP, but luckily it's old people who vote!

it really is kind of shocking to see so much distance between the three...I mean, Jim was in Congress for 10 years, so college students know who he is...and boyda's only been in office 2 years, so her name rec shouldn't be that good. Lynn's a complete unknown, so i get her numbers...but how high boyda's are and how low ryun's are surprises me.
