news of the day you may want to have another drink before reading "In Colorado, Ritter Maintains Big Lead In Colorado's gubernatorial race, a new Denver Post poll shows Bill Ritter (D) way ahead of Rep. Bob Beauprez (R-CO), 50% to 35%. "Ritter is beating Beauprez in every region of the state, including Beauprez's own congressional district... It also shows Beauprez's unfavorable rating at 40 percent, 8 percentage points higher than those who view him favorably. As a result, political watchers say Ritter should continue what he's doing, but they also predict the final four weeks of the campaign season will be ugly." Former Page Claims Liaison with Foley "A former House page says he had sex with then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) after receiving explicit e-mails in which the congressman described assessing the sexual orientation and physical attributes of underage pages but waiting until later to make direct advances," the Los Angeles Times reports. Though the relationship happened when the former page was of legal age, the account offers "a glimpse of possible predatory behavior by the congressman as he assessed male teenagers assigned as House errand-runners." Newsweek: "The secret world of Mark Foley -- and the denial and bumbling of the House leaders who possibly did not want to know too much about that world -- is beginning to emerge in bits and pieces of lurid detail." In NY-26, Davis Pulls Away from Reynolds In New York's 26th congressional district, a new Buffalo News/Zogby poll shows Jack Davis (D) "has opened a significant lead" over Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY) in a contest "fueled by Reynolds' association with the Mark Foley sex scandal." Davis now leads Reynolds 48% to 33%. In Michigan, Race Swings Towards Granholm Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) has engineered a 9-point swing in the polls, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey. Though Granholm trailed challenger Dick DeVos (R) by two points a month ago, she currently leads 49% to 42%. The poll also contains other good news for Granholm. "This is the first time Granholm has held a significant lead since January." In addition, 42% "are certain they'll vote for Granholm on Election Day,” while “only 32% say they're certain to vote for DeVos."
