I put no faith in any polls (and particularly one of only 500 or so potential voters), but it is encouraging to see Ms. Harris doing so well in this poll.
To: Menehune56
In fairness, Lincoln Chafee does increase the Republican margin in the Senate if nothing else. He's otherwise worthless of course. Same thing with Tom Kean Jr. He is a RINO but it is another person on our side of the aisle.

I think 53 - 38% is bogus. She will get a majority of the votes in November, because her position on the issues reflects majority opinion. Nelson's position(s) are the same as ultraliberal Democrats from places like Boston and San Francisco.
To: cutepanda
No chance.
Nelson has not spent one dollar, had no primary opponent, ergo, no face time and has not spent one dollar on ads. In addition, he has huge incumbent war chest.
Harris had to spend her funds to defeat a bunch of unknowns in primary.
Final; 65-31 at best.
Sorry, but true.

Well, the GOP seems to believe it can campaign against its own voters, misuse their funds, and then command their support for someone that IS a Democrat in the purest sense.
We'll see.
My own desire is to see Chafee lose.
As to the other, I'd be surprised if Harris cannot command at least 40% in Florida. Doesn't seem believable she could do less. Can she win? Well, yes, if republicans stop bickering, support her, and gets conservative Indy's onboard. We do have an advantage in Florida as it leans our way.

65-31 is a little severe, more like 56-38.
On a lighter note, there is an Easter Bunny and Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.

Harris is catching up fast. She used to be 30 points behind but in this post-primary poll, the gap has been narrowed to 15%. With the exception of the 2004 Illinois Senate race, virtually every race closes as you get closer to election day. Even Bob Dole closed on Clinton in '96 although he never stood a chance of winning. She may have regained some Republican support but the lady better find a new line of work because she will be unemployed come January.

This is the general GOP rising tide we're seeing. She won't get above 45%.

Harris will end up losing by 5 to 8 points.

Harris will need $$$$$$$$$$ to beat Nelson and a focus on important issues like national security and terrorism.
She can beat Nelson but it won't be easy.
The President should help with her fundraising or at least send Dick Cheyney down if he can't bring himself to that.

Rasmussen:
Whitehouse 51% : Chafee 43%.
I am aware of no such recent poll. You might think dumping on Chafee somehow helps Harris, but I don't.

Think a split-the-difference between us may be more correct.
Other factors. She is hated by dems, but their choice for gov is uninspired and the minority/majority members, Corinne, Brown, Alcee Hastings, etc. have no serious opponents (thank goodness) so GOTV can be a problem for the Dems.
If Charlie Crist has it in a walkaway, then we may have some GOTV problems too.
Other problem is that it's such a target rich environment for Nelson when he starts running ads.

In fairness, Lincoln Chafee does increase the Republican margin in the Senate if nothing else. He's otherwise worthless of course. Only if the Senate would have exactly 49 Republicans outside Chaffee's seat would control of the Senate be affected by whether Chaffee or Whitehouse wins. Given that there's no guarantee that a win by Chaffee would secure the Senate even in that case (since he might well pull a Jeffords) I see no reason why the GOP should spend money on him that could be more usefully spent elsewhere.
Of course, I have my own suspicions about what's really behind the GOP's endorsement of Chaffee, but that's another story.

The net effect of which is to allow a Republican Senate to do all the things a Democratic Senate would do, and leave Conservatives with no where to go within the existing parties. Chafee chafes me.

But wouldn't we really win, in the end, if Chaffee lost and Harris won? Unless I'm really offbase, I believe she would not be a RINO like Chaffee.
