— DrewM The Winston Wolf Rule is in effect but oh yeah, this is the good stuff.
With one week until election day, Chris Gibson has surged to a nine-point lead over Rep. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls, in their race to represent the 10-county 20th Congressional District. Gibson currently leads 51 percent to 42 percent, the survey finds.A poll released by Siena College showed Gibson, the Republican candidate and a retired Army colonel from Kinderhook, advancing from being unknown and trailing Murphy in previous polls to sliding ahead. This rise has been especially pronounced among Republicans and independents since Siena's previous survey of likely voters in the district, in September.
We're going to see a lot of good polls in the next few days but that doesn't mean we let up. It means we push down harder. Nails+Coffins-Some Assembly Required.
We're doing a Be The Wave event in the district from Noon to around 4 (I guess, not really sure) and then drinks or something afterward. If you are going to be in the Clifton Park area on Saturday, sign up! We have 10 people so far, which is way more than I expected to get for such a blue district.
Here's the list of candidates.

I see where another member of the most ethical congress ever just happened to forget about a million dollar house on her disclosures (Babs).
I guess this is what they mean when they talk about congressional oversight. What else could it mean?
You can call me senator because I worked so hard for that title says, "The truth is for little people."

I think this "Greg" may be a sock. At least, his hash has changed.
Greg so clearly outed himself a week or so ago that I don't think his mobying is very effective. He can't even keep his "concerned" schtick going from one thread to the next.
The one I hate is the christine odonnell/not a witch one. That one really went into some super obnoxious religious shit the other day. I'd vote for yanking his ability to comment.

Cool. Toomey is up on Sestak.
Here all along I was thinking that the Penns were kind of infatuated with their lying, dishonorable, piece of shit, opportunist bastards.
Who knew?

Greg is the type of person who, as a kid, was annoying. Finally, after being annoyed enough, you caught him in the parking lot of school, bloodied his nose and thought that was the end of that. Of course, the next day, Greg comes to school and brags he won the fight because while you bloodied his nose, you did not break a rib, blacken an eye or split his lip. All options, of course, you now wish you had done.
Don't give Greggy too much credit. He's an idiot and no one takes him seriously.

29 I think the big push needs to be for the Senate campaigns in Illinois, Nevada and Pennsylvannia. We have the house. If California and Connecticut break Republican even better.
We're (collectively) stupid in PA, but even we won't vote Sestak into office. Right, guys? Right???

We have a more complete list of Republican House challengers at Fire Fifty. One hundred twenty five on the list, 83 seat pickup (gross). We also have all the polls in one handy table
Find some Republican challenger on the list that you've never heard of and send them $25. Then send Obama an email and tell him you paid to sit in the front of the bus.

Yup. Besides, we like playing with him......like a cat swatting a mouse around before eviscerating the little disease-ridden rodent.

No, but when some precincts in Philly report more votes then voters Toomey needs 6% to overcome Philly and Pittsburgh.

No argument there. And my good friends the Black Panthers will surely be manning the polls again.

Yeah and there is no way that was a "stomp." If the person who placed his foot on her had actually stomped her, she would not have been giving interviews looking perfectly fine after the obviously staged fakery incident.

Clifton Park is really that blue?
I thought that's just where everyone from Albany moved to in order to escape the crappy city public schools.
Posted by: Lewis at October 26, 2010 09:33 AM (Y3uPw)
Not Clifton Park or Saratoga County as a whole but it's still NY. To get 10, now 11 morons together strikes me as a big deal.
Posted by: DrewM. at October 26, 2010 10:16 AM (HicGG)
Drew, I think you'd be surprised at how conservative this area(NY20) is, outside the urban centers. The people ARE conservative in the best sense, regardless of party affiliation. Something too many miss.
Murphy's gone.
Posted by: irongrampa at October 26, 2010 10:38 AM (ud5dN)
I'm pretty familiar with the area, I guess I was thinking more about the morons.
I know there's one or two Capital District folks around here but 10? That go my attention.
Part of it was just relief....I won't be alone or feel foolish for setting it up and have no one sign up.

So when you can you make it down to Albany for some beers, DrewM.?
I'll buy.
Heck, I might even be persuaded to cover cab fare.
Don't sweat it, this'll be just another example of your tax dollars at work! (In case that's a tad obscure, just imagine who my employer might be ...)

Oh yeah, and my kids' Halloween party that day prevents me from being the wave.
Unfortunately.
Or conveniently, however you want to spin it.
