Granted the economy is one of the two big wild cards in this scenario, the other is Afghanistan.<br /><br />So I'd turn it around and suggest that Burr's continuing to poll below 50% against all comers suggests that he is a long way from out of the woods.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-48768692920913653502009-10-08T12:30:06.046-05:002009-10-08T12:30:06.046-05:00If Burr continues to work with McCain and Graham o...If Burr continues to work with McCain and Graham on the Cap-and-Tax bill in the Senate on a "compromise" with democrats he won't get my vote.

And why do you continue to poll seniors at such a low % when you have posted in the past that senior turnout in off year elections is always higher? Thank you for your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
