He exceeded expectations against Cornyn in 2008, and may do better in a statewide race, expecially if the Republican loser declares as an independent (which is unlikely, but we said the same thing in 2006). Also, you should add Florence Shapiro to the list on the Senate Republican side. She has a pretty expansive exploratory committee already, and may get a lot of media attention this session by chairing the Senate Education committee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-67154116962543958902009-02-17T00:12:00.000-05:002009-02-17T00:12:00.000-05:00In addition to what David said it would be interes...In addition to what David said it would be interesting to put in matchups for Kinky Friedman, he said he's seriously thinking about running as a Democrat this time and was a pretty big factor as an indy in 06. It would be very interesting to see how he'd fare as a Democrat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-46956870833935415642009-02-16T22:53:00.000-05:002009-02-16T22:53:00.000-05:00Tom, since it looks like you'll be doing a full sa...Tom, since it looks like you'll be doing a full sample for TX, how about testing <A HREF="http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4421" REL="nofollow">Tom Schieffer</A> vs. KBH and Rick Perry for Gov? I doubt he has much name rec (except for people mixing him up with his much more famous brother Bob), but at least he'd establish something of a Generic D baseline.DavidNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014375473989377030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-15373079393681007082009-02-16T16:47:00.000-05:002009-02-16T16:47:00.000-05:00Delaware is losing massively, so it looks like you...Delaware is losing massively, so it looks like you won't be testing those races... which I find very unfortunate and I urge you to ask us about DE again in the future.<BR/><BR/>Not only does a Biden-Castle and Castle-Carney race look like definite possibilities (it looks like we'll have at least one of the two), but everyone in DE has heard about all three of these politicians - and that would make an early poll there very valuable (compared to the TX surveys which are sure to have lots and lots of undecided voters!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-58434895008514898542009-02-16T11:23:00.000-05:002009-02-16T11:23:00.000-05:00Will do.
