What has accounted for Fletcher's 5 pt. drop and Nunn the jackass's rise ? I was expecting the latter to drop off the radar screen.

I'm not sure. It could be an anomaly.

Lunsford's rise in the Democratic primary from the last poll raised my eyebrows. I doubt he could win with 13 days to go, but I'm wondering if he can within single-digits to Chandler on primary day.

"I'm not sure. It could be an anomaly."

That's what I'm wondering. Nunn's negatives must be through the roof.

"Lunsford's rise in the Democratic primary from the last poll raised my eyebrows. I doubt he could win with 13 days to go, but I'm wondering if he can within single-digits to Chandler on primary day."

If he holds Chandler to such a narrow win, that will be very embarrassing, if not potentially devastating, to Chandler. Recall how it all but destroyed Lois Combs Weinberg's Senate candidacy when Tom Barlow practically beat her, although in the case of Barlow, he had practically not a dime to his name.
