In a race that began as a coronation for Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, U.S. Rep. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. now has the edge in his quest to become the first Republican governor since Spiro T. Agnew was elected in 1966, according to a new independent poll.

The survey of 869 likely voters taken Oct. 26-28 by Potomac Survey Research, sponsored by The Gazette and The (Baltimore) Sun, shows Ehrlich with 46 percent and Townsend with 42 percent of the vote.

The margin of error is 3.4 percent. Twelve percent of likely voters are undecided.

Here's a link to the poll results for MD-08, giving Connie Morella (R) a slim 44-42 lead:

You know, I REALLY believe that if she wins, it was because she "brought out the dead".....

She should never have called the decision on whether to fry Muhammed and Malvo a "no-brainer."

She never NEVER use the term "no-brainer."

More good news for Bob Ehrlich and the people of MD. I'm still sticking with my prediction from this Summer that Ehrlich will win by 52-48%. The election seems to be breaking his way!

52-49%. Libertarian Spear Lancaster got 1% in the only poll he was included in.

52-49%

52-47%

You are right. The ghouls will come out for Halloween and since they will already be up, they will stay around to vote on Tuesday then return to their sleep until the next time Dems need rescuing from imminant destruction. The dead in Maryland are very active voters (when they need to be).

Baltimore Sun headline for Nov. 6 issue (if Ehrlich wins:)

Ehrlich Wins/FRAUD AT POLLS!

Baltimore Sun headline for Nov. 6 issue (if Kennedy-Townsend wins:)

Kennedy-Townsend Wins/STUNNING TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY!

"52-49%. Libertarian Spear Lancaster got 1% in the only poll he was included in."


52 + 49 = 101% ?

And, the sentence might be better structured as...

The Libertarian candidate, Spear Lancaster, received 1% in the only poll in which he was included.

Get out the vote bump in MD. Please, God, may we have a Kennedy-free zone and send them packing back to Taxachussets.
