Rex Kickass Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Virginia Senator George Allen is in hotwater. As is the case, an operative of his opponent's campaign was there with a videocamera to catch any crazy thing that the Senator says. (From my experience in campaigns - just about everyone does this now BTW). The Senator referred to the brown skinned camera man as "Macaca" during a stump speech. Macaca is a type of monkey. It's also a slur sometimes used by White Power afficionados for African Americans in place of the more traditional words.

Balta1701 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Allen's lead drops to 3 points. 48-45, down from a 19 point lead in an identical poll in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Internal poll Here, so take with a grain of salt (usually there's some level of truth to internal polls that are relased, but only the good internals actually are released), but it is quite consistent with a recent Rassmussen poll showing the race dramatically tightening. Yesterday evening, I posted exclusive numbers on a new poll that came out showing Congressman Ford coming now leading Bob Corker, after being down by 7 points in the last round of polling. Ford now leads Corker 44% to 42%, with 13% of the electorate remaining undecided. Further, Ford's favorable ratings have soared in the past two months. As the polling memo noted: Since June, Congressman Ford’s favorable rating rose from 47% favorable/31% unfavorable to 55% favorable/29% unfavorable. During the same period, Mayor Corker’s favorable rating rose from 43% to 48% and his unfavorable rating more steeply – from 16% to 26%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Linkityinkitybinkity. Former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker on Thursday received a subpoena to allow attorneys to take his deposition in an environmental lawsuit, according to Hamilton County Chancery Court records. Mr. Corker, Republican U.S. Senate nominee, is scheduled to testify at 9 a.m. on Oct. 18 in Chattanooga. The case involves the construction of an access road to the Brainerd Wal-Mart Supercenter... Environmental activist Sandy Kurtz, the Coalition for Responsible Progress and Tennessee Environmental Council Inc. filed the lawsuit in 2003. Along with Corker Group Inc., other defendants are Bright Par 3 Associates, Osborne Building Corp., Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust, Chattanooga and DBS Corp., the construction company for the project. The lawsuit centers on the alleged breaking of a conservation easement to build Greenway View Drive, an access road to the shopping area from Brainerd Road, records show. A conservation easement is a contract that limits property development and transfers development rights to a municipality. Mr. Corker began to receive environmental approvals to develop the site in 2000 before he was elected mayor. "All of his actions were completely ethical and consistent with the public good," Mr. Mitchell said. A company that Mr. Corker owned sold the property in 2003 for $4.66 million to Bright Par 3 Associates. In June 2003, then-city Public Works Administrator William C. McDonald agreed to modify the easement after Osborne sought a five-lane road across the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Rex, have you seen anything on the Braley-Whalen matchup in Nussle's vacated seat? It's like the only contested seat NE Iowa has seen in 10 years with Nussle, plus Grassley and Harkin having those seats for as long as they want, it seems.

Rex Kickass Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Montana is a Senate race that isn't polled much either, and it's hugely competitive. If the local TV outlets or papers don't want to pay for the polling, it will get done very infrequently there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Depends on the poll. Zogby Interactive methodology isn't good, and the other CT polls are showing the race much closer - within four or five points. I also don't buy Webb's 1 point lead over Allen. Most of the others look similar to other polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHAMBARONS Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I still think Jim Peterson can pull the upset of Kyl here in Arizona his very pro Bush record is coming back to hurt him. And his huge pro big oil record of getting them tax breaks and all of the money he has received from the oil companies while AZ residents are paying close to $3.00 a gallon isn't sitting well. Also governor Napolitano is leading the democratic ticket and is uber popular so she will bring democratic voters to the polls as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
