Ford now leads Corker by 1% in Tennessee
(* I see Dems picking up 4-5 seats making it a tie in the senate, but with a few progressive moderate GOP senators who we can work with. I see Dems taking back congress, but just hope some of the dirtiest rat righwingers get the bounce, like Pombo, Doolittle, Jerry Lewis and the like, all mired in corruption scandals. I also see Dems picking up governorships, including some very big ones.)

Harold Ford Campaign Says Poll Gives Lead Over Corker posted July 24, 2006
A new poll released Monday by Zogby Interactive shows U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr. opening a lead over Republican Bob Corker, the Ford campaign said.
Ford leads Corker 43.6% to 42.5% in the poll results, published on the Wall Street Journal website.
One month ago, the same poll showed Corker with a 1-point lead, 42.4 to 41.4 percent, and two months ago, Corker’s lead was four points at 43-39, Ford officials said.
"Voters are responding to Harold Ford Jr.'s call for a new generation of leadership to reach across party lines and get things done," said Ford campaign senior advisor Michael Powell. “On the other hand, the more Tennessee voters see of Bob Corker's untruthful advertising, the more they realize he is more of the same. And you can’t have change with more of the same.” |
