You're talking about the Graf race? There are a number of reasons why they pulled out...none of them making any sense at all. Graf is on my lose list, but I still don't count him out. Especially with marriage on the AZ ballot this year.
BTW..let's not forget it's only 9 days until Charlie Rangel retires!!
Seriously, it's all about turnout.. 50 million LESS voted in 2002 than in 2004...so I think the polls are all wet. No way they can predict turnout in what are close races..BTW..this Sunday on Chrissie Matthews' weekend show, one of the guests..a conservative columnist..said that turnout would be HUGE for the GOP..she said the "Broken Glass Republicans" were back..I haven't heard that phrase in a long time..
