Hmmm, if Simon leads Davis 47-45, then isn't he two points ahead?

[Gophack]

THIS woman doesn't like Davis, either!

By the way, a 4 pt lead among women isn't good for the Democrats ...

Nope.

Thanks for the ping! Great News! The message is simple:

Now where can I get my bumper sticker?

LOL It'll make it harder for Davis's "Presidential run" if he's kicked out as Gov. (Go Simon GO!)
