CA-51: Perhaps the toughest GOP candidate of the cycle, Nick Popaditch, vs. incumbent Democrat Bob Filner in a district with high unemployment and serious housing-bubble fallout, and the polls say . . . nothing. This is one of the few interesting House districts with not a single poll released.

NY-22: Incumbent Democrat Maurice Hinchey had some soft numbers earlier in the year, and now he’s in an altercation with a reporter. Republican George Phillips has his work cut out for him, but it’s not impossible.

If Hinchey can't be defeated now, when he's bumbling around demonstrating his double-digit vocabulary and thug tendencies, it's still a sad state of affairs.

Just like here in Maryland..... lots of pockets of people who vote for the big “D” no matter what, and hard-wired socialists. They are wilting though... we need to stay on them!

Popaditch has his team organized on the ground. I hope that can make the difference.

“MD-1: The Hill puts Andy Harris ahead by 3 over incumbent Democrat Frank Kratovil.”

That’s Doctor Andy Harris, who should flatten Kratovil. This district is Maryland’s Eastern Shore with a sliver of Anne Arundel County thrown in.

To give the readers an example of how gerrymandered Maryland is, Anne Arundel County, which is where Annapolis is located, is as Republican a county as there is in Maryland.

It is represented in Congress by four different Democrats.

AZ-7: In one of the great shocks of this cycle, Republican Ruth McClung released an internal poll showing her ahead of incumbent Raul Grijalva among likely voters. The DCCC suddenly decided to spend money here recently.

I pray to God this is true. We cannot take one more term with that traitor Communist scumbag Grijalva as our rep.
Please let this be true. This is the only report I have seen on this race. Tucson is the key in this race because it is the population center of District 7. Yuma and La Paz counties do not have the numbers to counter Tucson. But if this is true it looks like the people in Tucson have opened their eyes.

Thanks for posting this.

Anna Little is doing a lot better than reflected in that poll.

Here is a link to NJ Politicker, she is only down 1

http://www.politickernj.com/back_room/national-research-poll-shows-pallone-barely-ahead-little-44-43

Btw, I went to that rally and Christie was GREAT!

The second best presentation of any kind I’ve ever seen.

I understood why people think he should run for President.

And he is fighting for Anna Little as are hundreds of us in NJ District 6.

Pallone has got to go.

If you can help support Anna, here is her website.

“AL-2: Public Opinion Strategies puts Martha Roby ahead of incumbent Democrat Bobby Bright by 2; Bright is already declaring he won’t vote for Pelosi as speaker...

GA-8: The DCCC would have you believe that incumbent Democrat Jim Marshall is ahead by 12 over Republican Austin Scott, but Marshall is loudly proclaiming he won’t support Nancy Pelosi as speaker again, suggesting he’s at least a little nervous.”

Yeah, nice try Dems...too bad both of these buffoons voted for Pelosi to be Speaker:

FL-8: The one outside poll conducted in this district shows Republican Daniel Webster beating the Devil, a.k.a. Alan Grayson, by 7.

LOLOL! :-) I cannot wait to see Grayson's reaction to getting kicked to the curb!! Will he be gracious, or go out kicking and screaming and whining about how it's not fair!!! he got beat, like the little 2 yr old he is?!? Wait, that's an insult to 2 yr olds everywhere.

Here's that district (NY-22)...

Check out that gerrymandering, with that tentacle reaching out over the Republican voters--and then going up to grab all those Democrats in Ithaca to smother all the GOP votes.

The convict Mo' Hinchey used to present himself as a "conservative" coming from a rural district, but now he has dropped the facade and is one of the furthest left reps out there. Pull the string on his back and you get lines something like:

Benishek only has less than 700,000.00 to campaign with in MI (formerly Bart Stupak’s seat) 1 Congressional District and only is up 3 (margin of error). Lots of benishek signs Enough is Enough in yards in my travels (medical appointments) through MI’s Upper Peninsula. Talk about ObamaCare, more physicians are leaving UP of MI. I have to travel 252 miles for one surgeon, because of the previous tracheosteomy surgery. another surgeon in 525 miles away in Detroit Metropolitan Area. It takes it toll on vehicles.

[KS-3: Not much polling in this district, but Republican Kevin Yoder is heavily favored over Stephene Moore, the wife of the retiring Rep. Dennis Moore.]

Even the KC Star endorsed Yoder (who is not nearly conservative enough for me) in an attempt to look moderate after endorsing the far-left liberal Rats for state Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State. KC Star also endorsed Jerry Moran Senator. Probably because the Rat candidate has no chance.

Working polls in TN-5 for David Hall against Jim Cooper. Feedback has been positive. Watch TN-5 as a possible upset. Cooper is having a rough time. :-)

I really loathe all the gerrymandering done by both parties over many years — every congressional district should be required to include populations as geographically contiguous as possible.

Aren’t there some states which have passed laws requiring a statistical basis for determining districts which are geographically rational?
