Yup..that's the one..I'm not to worried about it either.. look, Edwards "dropped out" to run for president because he wasn't sure he could hold the seat, an if he lost, his political career is over..and Liddy clobbered Bowles last time out, and she's working really hard to defeat him again..I've become a big fan of hers..but I was just mentioning the race in the context of the polls in the articles...notice now a 5-7% lead for W is "slim" in the story...it also seemed inconceivable that Bush coudl be ahead by that marging, and Bowles ahead by an even bigger margin..it doesn't compute..
Gotcha! I wasn't clear on what you were saying. I generally don't put a lot of stock in polls, as I have found that they aren't that accurate at the local or national level. I remember a poll showing a race was "close" several years ago (may have been a Helms/Gantt race, I don't remember!) all the way up to the election. Turned out not to be that close at all in the end. All I really remember was how the pundits were left scratching their heads!
I think local polls, especially those in MY neck of the NC woods (Peidmont/Triad) are so skewed they are pathetic. I know the Greensboro News & Excuse does them from time to time and they are almost predictable before they come out. They are disgustingly left-wing in their views and are becoming more brazen about it.
I think NC is pretty safe this year in Senate and Presidential races. Now, if we could just get Tax Hike Mike out of office.....
