Survey USA's poll showing Nikki Tsiongas only leading Jim Ogonowski 51-41%, has given me (and should give Democrats) some pause.
And frankly, the Democrats have underperformed in
special elections this year. In GA-10, the runoff was between two Republicans. We lost a seat in the NY state assembly. Additionally, the
Dallas mayor's race was a terrible result.
If this seat goes Republican, especially to a candidate who says we should be in Iraq indefinitely, this may be a bad omen for holding on to the House next year.
Given that the GOP has their strongest possible
candidate with 9/11 connections (his brother piloted one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center), is this a race to worry about? Comments appreciated, especially those with some local knowledge.
