This seat may have just become competitive.

Why do you suppose they phrased the poll summary that way?

As opposed to, “47% would vote NOT to return HareBrain to congress”...?

Could it be they’re all in for HareBrain?

[Bahbah]

Take an oath to support the Constitution and then tell the voters you really don’t care about it. That should play well.

[randita]

I thought that was interesting as well. Why didn’t they write “only” 40%.

Anti-incumbent sentiment may be running higher than pundits think.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I hate any poll that has the “Ummmm...I’m too stupid to form an opinion on this issue” choice.

Yes..No...

Up...Down...

Dillutes the results.

If you have no opinion, don’t vote in an opinion poll!!!!

[icwhatudo]

Little things like this headline give bias away-like when they refuse to reveal the party affiliation if its a democrat politician caught doing something wrong.

Why on earth is the headline not like you said..OR why is the word “ONLY” not in the title. If it was a republican, you know the title would be “ONLY 40% would vote to send Hare back to congress”

[Jet Jaguar]

Why is the title not 47.03% don’t want him?

[sgtyork]

40 percent — TOO High!!!! That sack of s(U^ needs to come back to his district and run a coffee shop.

I'm more wondering how relevant a poll conducted in November of last year would be to the current likely prospects of a challenger. If it was open to action back then, is it more so now?

[randita]

Whoops. I made a mistake on the date of this article. It actually appeared on
November 25, 2009.

But maybe that is more revealing that even back in Nov. Hare only had 40% re-election numbers. After the Constitution dissing, he might even be lower.

Posted yesterday on a Phil Hare thread by BulletBobCo of Phil Hare and the Nazi, Ernst Röhm.

Yikes!!

[onyx]

Thank you!! Here's his photo. I like him very much.

[freekitty]

It’s getting to be where a lot of these politicians are reincarnations.

Yikes is right.

[onyx]

Makes ya wonder! That resemblance is something else!

[rolling_stone]

We need a questionnaire given to every candidate for Federal Office regarding their views on upholding the US Constitution and what they can and can't legislate..Put their feet to the fire.

[ebshumidors]

Stupid people voting for stupid people. I was going to use ignorant but...

[Walkingfeather]

The general rule is ....if the incumbent is polling below 50% before the election they will lose.

[Thane_Banquo]

May have become more competitive? When you can't even get above 40%, without any named competitor, and literally a blank space beats you by almost 7.5 pts, I'd say you're toast.

A. Yes 39.59%

B. No 47.03%
