Now looking into the numbers, this can be a little generous OR it can be a great sign of things to come.
Regardless the State Democrats need the national party to get its act together soon. Only then can a strong unified effort be applied to this vulnerable Red seat in the deep South with any chance of success. If we are to hope the DCCC notices Southern states outside of Virginia that is (sorry I was in NC in 2004, still bitter.)
Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 5/19-21. Likely voters. MoE 4% (12/10-12 results)
Wicker (R) 46 (47)
Musgrove (D) 42 (39)
That splits the previous poll's margin by half, well within the poll's margin of error. Not as delicious as the DSCC's poll released earlier this week showing an 8-point Musgrove lead, but still enough to suggest that this is now legitimately a top-tier race.
Enjoy and Happy Memorial Day!
It's good to see! We can win this seat. Thanks Nick!
ReplyDeleteMusgrove better hope that the Kos doesn't endorse him. Funny how Dems who are winning these days are having to run on conservative issues like being pro-gun and even pro-life. They actually sound like Republicans. Honestly, I'd like to see a more conservative Democratic Party.
ReplyDeleteDems winning in the south are, but that's how they've always been. It's the same as there being pro-choice, pro gun control republicans in the Northeast.
ReplyDeleteThose issues are more regional than party.
Dems winning in the Midwest, West, and North-East ran on a more traditional Democratic platform and won.
I'd say I agree with Gene Taylor and Travis Childers on more than I would a Barbara Boxer or Pelosi, but all those name do better for our country than Wicker ever has.
If being against the war, for fair trade, for S-CHIPS, and against the big money oil and health industry lobby is the new conservative, then I am more conservative than I thought. Honestly, I'd love to see a more progressive Republican Party.
