Voter polls sample from Miami region which is more favorable to Bush so no telling. But Bush is not looking as good as he should.
Thanks for the info. Do you know anything about Dem of VA, Webb and his service?

The Republican nominee, Guy Hunt, won election after Democrat Charlie Graddick solicited Republican crossover votes in his runoff primary election against Bill Baxley. Graddick won the runoff, but the Alabama Democratic Party threw out the runoff results and made Baxley the Democrat nominee.

Siegleman was convicted on a corruption charges.
The media even FOX won’t let that happen.
