real news of the day now we may never get to hear crazy conrad explain gw's "secret" plan to win the iraq war "In Montana, Tester Leads by Eleven Points Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) has fallen behind challenger Jon Tester (D) by double-digits, according to a new Montana State University poll. Tester now leads Burns 46% to 35%, "with respondents saying they believe Burns is running the more negative campaign and that he did something wrong in his relationship with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff." In FL-16, Judge Rules Against Negron GOP hopes of holding onto Rep. Mark Foley’s (R-FL) 16th congressional district seat hinged on a recent plan to hang up signs in polling locations informing voters that any vote cast for Foley would count for the new Republican candidate, Joe Negron. However, CQ Politics notes those hopes "endured another hit Wednesday when a state judge, ruling on a lawsuit brought by Democratic activists, barred state election officials from posting signs at voting locations and delivering notices about the ballot situation to 16th District voters." The judge "ruled that a state-run information campaign to inform voters about what critics argue was an internal Republican Party foulup would do ‘irreparable injury’ to Democratic nominee Tim Mahoney and his supporters."
