Nothing up on the SurveyUSA website yet, but the word is that their latest poll has Democratic challenger Jeff Merkley leading Republican incumbant Sen. Gordon Smith, 49-42. This would be a huge pick-up for the Democrats, in race that most experts considered to be a longshot just 10 months ago.

This is great news and continues Merkley’s big mo. Clean out the Repubs.
Oh, and Sen. Stevens is guilty on all seven counts, latest Repub crony to fall. This will help Merkley. I could almost feel for Smith, he is a decent guy as repubs go, but its time to sweep the rubbish out.
And for Rasmussen watchers, a very conservative but fair pollster (auto dial, not perfect, but I think its an improving technology), note that at 3 PM our time today, we get updates on Prez trackers in six battleground states.
This week will be fun. Keep running hard.

Great news. Maybe Smith can return to the family frozen foods business.
Do a fav for me Gordo – knock off a quarter or two on the price of a family pack of California-style veggies. I love those. A dash of extra virgin and a splash of white balsamic, a little salt…
Mmmmmm. Great with a pan-cooked chicken breast.

Funny how Smith started out as a big time conservative, and has basically morphed into a liberal R in recent years.
The Christian Right has contributed to the demise of many Republicans in recent years.
We need to keep those freaks active!
