Oh great.  Does anyone know what happened?  Has Kennedy started running ads?  I still believe Klobuchar will win though but I thought we could count on a victory with Klobuchar getting around 52%-54% of the vote to Kennedy's 44%-45%; perhaps it will be more like Kerry's 51%-47% 2004 win?

Nothing happened. Polls this early in the cycle fluctuate and are not very reliable.

Klobuchar will win this race. Minnesota will not send another conservative Republican to the Senate, when they already have one neocon in Norm Coleman. Also, Bush is extremely unpopular in the state and Kennedy doesn't differ from him in anything.

I haven't seen any. It's just polls fluctuating. Note the high undecideds. Those should break against Kennedy when they see he's just a Bush clone.

Though I'm not as confident of Klobuchar's victory as others Tongue neither candidate has done anything of any importance.

True. I continue to wonder how Klobuchar will do in the northern part of the state, outside of the St.Paul-Minneapolis area, since she's never run outside the cities before.  There are many gunowning, pro-life Democrats living up there.  Another wild card is the margin in the fast growing suburbs around the Twin Cities, some of which Kennedy represents.  It was larger for Coleman than it was for Bush.  So this race will defintely become more interesting in the months ahead.

Memo to DFL: Please find a decent candidate. Or is it too late for that?

Too late, Klobuchar has overwhelming DFL support.  Hatch would have been a great candidate, but he has his eye on the governors mansion.

I almost wouldn't be suprised if he won that (new poll is basically a statistical tie isn't it?) while the DFL picking another lousy Senate candidate costs them what should have been a fairly easy hold...

She may not be the best candidate but she's certainly no worse than Kerry, and we saw how that turned out in Minnesota.

That's Tammany Hall land. opebo would win there. Note that it was actually St. Louis county that was Kerry's best in the state, not either of the Twin Cities ones.

Kerry didn't win by much and that was a Presidential election year. Midterm turnout usually benefits the GOP across the country. I'm sure that's the case in Minnesota.

People need to stop bumbing up polls from 8 months and 9 months ago.
