Ned — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:18:21 +0000

A Public Opinion Strategies poll from Sept. 19th buts John Gard down by 1pt, 45-46%, in WI-8. The seat has traditionally been a Republican seat, and no Democrat has ever won re-election in WI-8.

Schaffer Only Down 2pts.

According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, Bob Schaffer is only down by 2 points in the CO Senate race. That’s within the margin of error.

Pennsylvania’s 10th District

Ned — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:28:16 +0000

According to a SurveyUSA poll, Chris Hackett is only down 4 points to the incumbent Democrat, Chris Carney, 49%-45%. That’s about at the margin of error, so a tight race.

The New Mexico Senate Race: Pearce Closes

Ned — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:53:28 +0000

Steve Pearce was down 59%-34% to Tom Udall about a month ago. Rasmussen now reports that with “leaners” thrown into the poll, Udall is only up 52%-44%; Pearce has cut the lead from 25 points to 8 points. That is encouraging news.

John Gard Close in Wisconsin

Ned — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:15:47 +0000

John Gard, who is running in WI-8, is only down 4 to the Democrat incumbent according to a recent poll. Gard only lost by about 6,000 votes last time, so this could be a tight one again.

The Colorado Senate Race Isn’t Over Yet

Ned — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:13:09 +0000

I keep on seeing reports that the Colorado Senate race is looking bad for Bob Schaffer, that Udall will win. And then Rasmussen comes out with a poll yesterday that shows Bob only down by 4. You throw in the leaners, he’s only down 3, and all this with a margin of error of 4.5%, so both numbers put Bob within the margin of error. I’ll take those numbers right now. A month ago, Bob was down 9. So this is hardly over.

Fred Dailey on the right path

Ned — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:53:58 +0000

Over the last few days Fred has hit Zack Space over his votes against expanding drilling and ending our reliance on foreign oil and gas. The American people get this issue.
I find it odd that the Democrats are leaving themselves so exposed politically on this one. Space, Pelosi, Hoyer, et al came into DC in January of 2007 promising something “comprehensive” in regards to rising gas prices. Last time I checked, the price per tank has gone up almost $2 per gallon over the last year and a half.
