Poll surprise of the day: Barney Frank in trouble?

The Sean Bielat campaign has declared themselves within reach of unseating Barney Frank in Massachusetts’ 4th CD, one of the presumed safest districts for Democrats in the nation. The poll, conducted for the campaign by OnMessage, shows Frank falling below the 50% mark despite the D+14 composition of his constituency. Bielat comes within nine points, even though the poll shows that he still badly trails in name recognition. The memo from the pollster explains that Bielat could shock the world on November 2nd:

[Persevero]

My goodness, if we lose Barney Frank, on top of all the other possible victories, I think I will pass out from ecstacy perhaps never to return.

I just don’t dare to even hope it.

[madamemayhem]

wouldn’t it be nice if nancy, barney, harry, and babs were all replaced?

[GreenHornet]

Barney’s looking over his shoulder, but then again, he’s use to that.

MONEY BOMB!

I don't think America would have enough champagne....We'd surely have to import some.....FRink

I am convinced that there isn’t a district in the United States that couldn’t be up for grabs, if the Conservative message were presented in an intelligent honest manner.

There are bedrock issues within Conservatism that every man woman and child benefit from. We are a family values group. We support a man/woman’s right to thrive. Welfare, is not a trait of thriving.

The Democrats reveal themselves not to be family friendly. They are not community friendly. They are not friendly to a healthy national status.

Onward...

[Bullish]

November 2nd is my birthday.... So guess what I’m wishing for.

Oh you bad.

Barney is dirty on the TARP funds. Maxine Waters had him steer big bucks to her husband's bank. This is just one instance we know about. Chris Dodd is skipping town ahead of the investigations...looks like Barney may not be that smart.

[Mr. Wright]

What can we, as non Massachusetts residents and Freepers do to help? We certainly helped get the Kennedy seat to become a Republican seat - we can do the same for Barney Fa - s seat.

Brookline and Newton, though, have a lot of very moneyed people. Liberal, yes, but many of them have probably noticed they're not quite so moneyed as they used to be and that a lot of this is attributable to Barney!

[sonnysteelgrave]

You are correct, but they are true believers. Barney should carry those areas 2-1 easily. For Bielat to be competetive, he needs to do well in the Bayou (Bristol County), and the towns along 495.

Sean doesn’t have to do anything:

(1) Sean should hope the self-absorbed thumb-sucker Bwaney continues to make TV apperances. Everytime speech-impaired Bwaney’s on TV, blathering on and on, he loses about 10,000 votes.

(2) Sean might encourage running the video of Bwaney sneering at his constutuents at a townhall on O’care. Fwank stupidly told one woman that him talking to her was like talking to a chair. That alone lost him untold votes.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Chris Dodd is skipping town ahead of the investigations...looks like Barney may not be that smart.

'Tis less a matter of Barney not being smart---he is---but it's more of a matter of him being unbelievably arrogant.

[who knows what evil?]

“when he isn’t killing terrorists, he builds robots that kill terrorists."

Saw that...great line!

Let Barney Franked get booted out of office - it will be party time.

Then he can go back to his former business of pimping minor male prostitutes.

[MichaelNewton]

Chances are that Barney Frank will be back in Washington. But look at the larger picture. When super-safe Democrats are at risk, Republicans should pick up all the “middle” races.

How many races are we not even watching that Republicans could possibly win? Could be dozens...
