Finally, an MN5 poll

I hoped Lee would at least be in a close second, but that’s obviously wishful thinking.

This can’t be correct, Dizzy told us that the Washington Times has reported a significant bump for Lee!

Yes, I did say the Washington Times said that.

So?
They did say that. I linked to it – I didn’t say “this is 100% airtight accurate.”

Didn’t know the “rules” were that if you linked to an article, it necessarily meant that you swore it was true on a stack of Bibles.

Or, in Keith Ellison’s case, a stack of Korans.

Some would say 22% for an IP candidate *is* significant.

Some may also say that since SurveyUSA also has Bachmann up 49-42-7 as of Saturday, we shouldn’t rely on ANY of their polls, because how could Wetterling be so far behind? (DISCLAIMER: I’m not one of the people who would say that.)

We’ll know in about 30 or 31 hours, I’m sure.

Wow, that’s very discouraging to see Ellison in the lead and Lee coming in 3rd place behind Fine. Not looking to good for Wetterling either I see. I fear the media fueled build-up for the Democrats is going to fall short of expectations tomorrow night!

Ellison is right at the 50% point I was (privately) figuring. If Bachmann wins with 4%, then I’ve really got my fingers on the pulse.

I may have to vote for Lee just to help her get more votes than Fine.

And 22% for an IP candidate in a heavily DFL district is damned respectable.

I wonder why KSTP TV and Survey USA waited until the last moment to publish a poll, regarding the 5th district race? Maybe they found out that Ellison was more likely to win as a whole and the media doesn’t want to deal with the reality for his own beneift. Other than Fine and Lee are nothing but a comical joke to the local voters there: Jesus Freak nazi versus “Republican lite.” They could pick someone that was more in synch to the public’s interests etc.

I would assume it’d be an issue of putting the polling in races that weren’t gimmes. Polling ain’t cheap by any stretch, so why spend the bucks on a race that isn’t a race?

Damn,

My prediction of Tammy getting 10% was low. I guess no one remembers how many votes the LOSER gets, so I’m off the hook.

I hope Dizzy has a big bowl of Cheesy Poofs to console him later today.
