Ba-boom!

Summarizing the big poll dump the NRCC just provided the Washington Post:

•FL-8: Daniel Webster (R) 46, Alan Grayson* (D) 30
•PA 3: Mike Kelly (R) 56, Kathy Dahlkemper* (D) 39
•OH-15: Steve Stivers (R) 51, Mary Jo Kilroy* (D) 39
•WA-3: Jaime Herrera (R) 51, Denny Heck (D) 38
•NY-20: Chris Gibson (R) 48, Scott Murphy* (D) 45
•MA-10: Jeff Perry (R) 44, Bill Keating (D) 42
•IL-17: Bobby Schilling (R) 44, Phil Hare* (D) 41
•PA-10: Tom Marino (R) 44, Chris Carney* (D) 37
•VA-9: Morgan Griffith (R) 44, Rick Boucher* (D) 44
•OR-5: Scott Bruun (R) 44, Kurt Schrader (D) 42
•OH-6: Bill Johnson (R) 40, Charlie Wilson* (D) 40
(* = denotes incumbent)

All of these results sound pretty plausible, but if you want to take some salt with an NRCC-commissioned poll, that’s fine. I would note that any Democratic incumbent who’s polling in the high 30s or low 40s in a cycle like this is probably doomed or close to doomed.

Bye-Bye Alan. The VA-09 race is looking nice. Boucher’s arrogance is catching up to him.

[nina0113]

Griffith’s tied with Boucher? Excellent!

A small part of me likes having Alan Grayson there as something I can point at and say “Look, see how bat$h!t crazy liberals are!” But, it would be unfair to the people of Florida for him to remain in office...

[BookmanTheJanitor]

If there ever was someone made for MSNBC...Grayson is it.

[Signalman]

Grayson, I hope you're looking at the FR website right now because I just want to say to you..., and I say this with love...GO SUCK ON A LEMON!

[bassmaner]

I’d replace ‘on a lemon’ with ‘yourself’, and the verb with something very similar-sounding ...:^)

Yeah I was going to type that but this IS a family website, LOL.

•PA-10: Tom Marino (R) 44, Chris Carney* (D) 37

Some good news. Take that NRA.

El Diablo looks like the above photo. Grayson needs the hat.

Well, we also have "Crazy" Al Franken, in the Senate, to make fun of.

[DPMD]

Isn’t that insulting the devil?

[TribalPrincess2U]

I’ve noticed many leftist are demon-eyed, sour-puss, unhappy condescending elitists? It’s absolutely amazing.

MA-10: Jeff Perry (R) 44, Bill Keating (D) 42

An outside group is airing ads that dredge up a couple of incidents when Jeff Perry was a police sergeant and one of the officers under his command was involved in strip searchs of teenage girls. Perry initially defended the officer involved, although ultimately the officer was found guilty of misconduct.

Perry never misrepresented facts nor went beyond the normal loyalty a good supervisor would show a subordinate when facts are in dispute, but his opponents are trying to use the case in a desparate and vicious attempt to smear him.

[TheConservator]

My vote for Jaime Herrara has already been cast!

[jjsheridan5]

I am surprised at the Griffith - Boucher results. I had all but given up on that one.

The eye of the hurricane has passed, and now the true size of this wave is showing itself.

[rrrod]

The NRCC is almost worthless this cycle so Id take this with a grain of salt.
Listen to people talk...thats the key.

[Alas Babylon!]

Some polls for you!

[Crichton]

Yeah, that Griffith-Boucher result is the most surprising by far.
