The poll was taken in January, published in February. A lot has changed since then.

"The Republicans jigger the questions to come out like they want, just like the Democrats have done in the past," Reid said.If the Republicans had jiggered the question, Reid would be trailing. But it's nice of him to admit that the Democrats do this.

The thing is, Reid is probably correct. The poll is conveniently skewed to have a +- 4% MOE when the Republican candidate is behind by eight points. And he's not even a candidate yet which makes the poll even more spurious.
Of course, if the challenger behind by eight points was the Democrat and this was produced by the CBS/NewYorkTimes/WashPost/ABC/CNN/Gallup/USAToday/Pew folks, the leftist media would be calling this a "dead heat". And, no, I'm not exagerating.

Well I wasn't polled, but Gibbons has my vote and my husbands as well.

What's the low down on Gibbons? How is he as a candidate and electability? Reid seems like a pushover and appears to lack the will for a real fight. If we let the White House steer this one and blame Reid for everything that's gone wrong in Nevada recently, this could go very well for us.
