Poll surprise of the day: Barney Frank in trouble?
Hot Air ^ | 9/22/10 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 09/22/2010 11:29:10 AM PDT by Lou Budvis

The Sean Bielat campaign has declared themselves within reach of unseating Barney Frank in Massachusetts’ 4th CD, one of the presumed safest districts for Democrats in the nation. The poll, conducted for the campaign by OnMessage, shows Frank falling below the 50% mark despite the D+14 composition of his constituency. Bielat comes within nine points, even though the poll shows that he still badly trails in name recognition. The memo from the pollster explains that Bielat could shock the world on November 2nd:

“So far, she has been wise to stay out of races where her involvement would hinder rather than help.”

True, except for AZ...;) Even though that race was not close. Oh well, she’s done nice work mostly.

I believe you are correct. Scott Brown won Bawney's district by a healthy margin. Even the libtards in Massachusetts aren't keen on trading a relatively small state-based fuster cluck like RomneyCare for a large national fuster cluck like ObamaCare.

A state based fuster cluck has the possibility of getting bailed out on a national basis. But there is an insufficient national tax base to bail out ObamaCare when it crashes and burns.

but they are true believers.

Hmmm . . . true believers have been known to lose their "faith" when it hits them in the wallet! ;-)

Only time will tell, though.

On Nov 3 we’ll all be “Dancing In The Streets”


We can hope. I just posted yesterday that the surprise of the election would be that Barney Frank almost got defeated. Maybe I was too conservative. If any race could unite all of us, it would be any race against Barney Frank. If Barney is under 50%, he can be beaten. Let’s beat him. (Not literally, he might like that). Beat him by helping out his opponent Bielat.

If Barney goes down (sorry about that), we are looking at a 100 seat victory.

Did somebody say “moneybomb”?

I just sent in a donation. Barney Frank is emblematic of what is wrong with our Senate.

“Few things would make me happier than seeing Barney get his comeuppance this November.”

Only thing I would enjoy more would be PelosLIE going down...

Warm grease and chitlins

Fleshy buttocks puckered

Tightly wadded fists of old cash

IMO, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are the two legislators MOST RESPONSIBLE for having caused this subprime crisis that caused our economic collapse.

And guess what ? They’re still at it with their recent Frank-Dobb “Financial reform” (NOTE THE QUOTES) bill that does NOT address the problems of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

At least Chris Dodd has the minimal decency to quit. Bawney Fwank still wants to stay there to torment this country.

Funny.

The woman he is running against is the same woman he told he’d rather argue with a kitchen table than talk too.

And the left HOWLED with laughter.

Wonder if they’re still laughing. :)

There’s a reward out for anyone who hears campaign Bwaney say “Obamacare, bailout, TARP, summer of recovery.”

A bonus is awarded if anyone sees a Coakley-like Obama last-minute fly-in.

I hope Sean gets a chance to pull a "Rand Paul."

Rand was debating his opponents who called Rand an extremist.

Rand shot back, "You are a Democrat."

That remark sent Rand's numbers soaring to a 15 point lead.
