Thanks for posting this, VOR.
Arrrg... it refers to "early polls" showing that Bright is competitive and can win yet it doesn't cite the polls themselves. Has anyone seen any polling data in this race?

In contrast with past downturns, he also suggested voters in the current political climate do appear more concerned about economic than cultural issues. "Those are our wheelhouse [core] issues," he says. |
Dear Mister Man, thank you for seconding everything I've been saying on this damn forum for six months now, haha.

Now that's SEXY! He should put it on his campaign literature.

That one is still a mystery to me. I keep hearing/seeing reports which state he has a chance to beat Rogers, yet, he has no name recognition, has held no office previously, etc. It is a fact that he's raising enough money to compete, but that *alone* doesn't upend an incumbent. It's possible if people are *that* fed up with Rogers, but I haven't seen that sentiment at all.

Maybe people are finally looking at the approval rating of Congress.... It's way up there at 9%, hell even Bush has a 27......
A lot of people are getting real tired of these incumbents.....

Yea whata I agree their approval rating is low but normally the way that works is that most people are sick of all of congress EXCEPT their particular congressman. So you would be sick of Pelosi but love Rogers.
I'm with Cap I dont understand how he is competitive at all. He is basically a nobody. ATleast people know Bright whether you love him or hate him. This guy is a no name.
