Then why is Reid (poster boy for socialism) 7 pts ahead in NV?
NV voters are retarded?
He isn't. If the election were held today he'd lose.
“Then why is Reid (poster boy for socialism) 7 pts ahead in NV?”
I’ve heard about that poll, but haven’t looked into it to see the details. I do remember that a number of the polls in Jan. showed Coakley leading Brown in Mass. right up to the eve of the election. One thing most of those polls did not trumpet was voter intensity—Republicans willing to crawl over broken glass to vote, Dims not willing to get out of bed to go vote unless someone came and picked them up with free smokes and Ripple wine as gimmes.
In what’s shaping up to be a very bad year for Dims, with Harry the Undertaker being the poster boy of the Kenyan’s legislative catastrophes, and with Harry barely able to hit 40% in many, many polls over the last few months, I don’t think he can pull this one off unless Angle self-destructs.
If you look at the polls, Reid really hasn't gained any ground - he has been running in the low 40's for a long time. What happened is that Angle made some verbal gaffes and Harry hammered her hard on them, which caused her numbers to go down.
Harry Reid is stuck in the 40-44% range, and we have 3 months for Angle to get back on her feet. But she needs more money and a focused media counter attack. I don't know that she can drive Harry's numbers much lower, so she has to sell herself. Harry can't sell himself, so he has to drive Angle's numbers lower. The winner will be the one who does a better job. Unfortunately, mud-slinging is usually more effective than trying to communicate a positive message, so I think Harry has the easier job.
