Noriega's "Truth"

In a recent email blast done by Rick Noriega's campaign, Mark Bell (campaign manager) foolishly asserts that Noriega is within 2% pts of beating Cornyn!!

::giggles::

Bell writes: "Noriega just 2 points behind John Cornyn.1 The poll also shows Cornyn running at 38%, a shockingly low number for an incumbent..." This is according to the Texas Lyceum poll. Bell agrees that Cornyn does indeed have millions more in the bank but that can easily be overcome. Rasmussen Report says the following as of June 9th: "The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state find Cornyn leading Democratic state legislator Rick Noriega 52% to 35%. That’s a significant improvement for the incumbent from a month ago when his lead dwindled to four percentage points. "

Bell continues with: "But that's not all: 24% of those polled are undecided voters, and it's critical that they learn more about Rick." Rasmussen counters: "Cornyn is supported by 86% of Republicans and has a two-to-one edge among unaffiliated voters. Last month, his lead among the unaffiliateds was just four percentage points. Noreiga attracts 72% of Democrats, down from 81% a month ago. "

It's easy to see that this Lyceum poll is about as reliable as Russ' grandmother on a surf board.

The sooner Camp Noriega realizes that they do not have a snowballs chance in hell against Cornyn (and his money), the sooner they can save themselves the embarrassment they'll certainly face in November. Otherwise they'll be known as "that guy who was put up by the TDP to lose to Cornyn"...

Cornyn will carry over 60%. He is liked in Texas, KBH on the other hand needs to worry if she runs again.

Another one of those I have no candidate races ( like this one ) if she does. Good thing is not voting for her won’t affect much as it would if I did not vote for McCain.
