This would give a real idea about the chance of everyone for this race.

I'd disagree with the commenter above who said to do "generic tea partier" against Snowe, since you've already done that, but you seemed to say you're planning on Dodge and D'Ambroise anyway. Given the CPAC press, Dodge probably has more recognition than D'Ambroise starting out, though Dodge has already made clear he is neither a social con nor a Paulist, which could give D'Ambroise an opening down the line.<br /><br />Also, if you do poll the general, could you mention Rosa Scarcelli for the Democrats?
