There's still plenty of time. Barnes leads in cash. The only thing Deal really leads in is amount of skeletons. It should be an interesting race.

The only thing Deal really leads in is amount of skeletons.

And amount of utter HP-ness.

[Barnes]

Tut, tut, tut. Well, Barnes certainly has something to attack Deal on, and don't think he won't use it. It's still, unfortunately, lean Republican.

[Eraserhead]

Ugh.

There's still time for Barnes to catch up.

Plenty, especially when Deal's skeletons start falling out of the closet.

Yeah. Don't mistake this poll as saying this race is over. It just shows that Barnes has to lead a strong campaign to win. Which we basically already knew.

Problem is, Barnes lurched strongly and publicly to the left in the primary, far more than he needed to win the nomination. That helps explain why the Independents tilt 56 to 33 for Deal in this poll.

I suppose. However, he's strongly centered his campaign around education, jobs, and cleaning up the state, all of which can appeal to independents.

[Yelnoc]

Gah.

If I could vote I would vote for a third-party candidate in protest, probably Al Bartell (http://www.albartell.com/).
