Is she expected to win? I haven't seen any numbers.

I fully expect Irey to win and sent the maximum amount to her campaign to help her do it.

Murtha has voted against protecting traditoinal marriage. He's voted against securing our borders. He's voted for coddling terrorists and illegal immigrants. His plan to fight terror is to redeploy our troops to an island off the coast of Japan.

Polls, schmolls. This race has been totally overlooked by the MSM for reasons that are all too obvious.

There haven't been any numbers released, which makes me think she is a very long shot.

[Steve Van Doorn]

She has a lot of momentum the only poll I can find was nearly a month ago she was 10% down 45 55 (From early Oct) http://www.redstate.com/stories/elections/2006/new_polling_on_the_irey_murtha_race.)

A lot can happen in a month’s with the momentum she has. I would say she has a very good chance for a win.

The Scaife rag in Greensburg, PA endorsed Cong. John Murtha again in PA 12. Without an endorsement from the most prominent Republican newspaper in her district, Mrs. Irey's campaign appears to be ready for the glue factory, just like Missy in PA 4.

Polls? We don't need no @#$%%^&% polls.

The polls, this year in particular, cannot be trusted in any way, shape or form. Only two pundits that I've seen are even close to being "warm." Barone and Novak...and they still haven't gotten it right. There's only so many hours in a day and they are busy men.

Demographics, Issues, Job Approval Ratings, and way down the list after that, mebbe campaign warchests. (maybe.) Polls, like ol' Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, are for children. They're fun to play with but they don't reflect reality. If, on rare occasion, they are indeed accurate, they are only useful as an "indicator." Polls are at the bottom of the list of things to consider in making any "predictions" about any race.

In the previous Victory thread, I laid out a few things for the consideration of the naysayers, moles and gloom and doomers.

Read 'em and get yerself an edumacation. ;O)

At this point in the Irey race, it is all about voter turn-out. They need to have every Republican in the district they can possibly find to go to the voting booths on the 7th and vote. After that, the normal percentage of
"cross-over" voters will assure victory.
