WEDNESDAY'S CAMPAIGN ROUND-UP.... Today's installment of campaign-related news items that wouldn't generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers. * In Pennsylvania, a Franklin & Marshall poll shows former right-wing Rep. Pat Toomey (R) looking surprisingly strong in this year's Senate race, leading incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter, 45% to 31%. In the Democratic primary, Specter leads Rep. Joe Sestak, though most voters remain undecided. * A Rasmussen poll in Delaware shows Rep. Mike Castle (R) with a huge lead in this year's Senate race, topping New Castle County Executive Chris Coons (D) by nearly 30 points. Coons nevertheless appears to be gearing up for the race. * In Florida's gubernatorial race, state Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) now leads state CFO Alex Sink (D) by 10 in the latest Quinnipiac poll, 51% to 41%. * Speaking of Florida, Gov. Charlie Crist (R) appears to have ruled out an independent Senate bid this year. * Former right-wing Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who is taking on Sen. John McCain in a Republican primary in Arizona this year, is apparently a "Birther." * In Illinois, the latest survey from Public Policy Polling shows state Comptroller Dan Hynes (D) taking the lead (pdf) in his primary challenge against incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn (D), 41% to 40%. * Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) shot down retirement rumors today, and said he will seek re-election. * And in Pennsylvania, Republicans have successfully recruited former U.S. Attorney Tom Marino (R) to run against Rep. Chris Carney (D-Pa.). —Steve Benen 12:00 PM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (6)Comments
How ironic would it be if Palin endorsed Hayworth? Let's not forget the monster ultimately seeks revenge on Dr. Frankenstein. Posted by: RolloTomasi on January 27, 2010 at 12:26 PM | PERMALINKRegarding the poll out of Delaware . . . if Chris Coons runs a solid campaign, he'll be able to close that gap. All it reflects at this moment is name recognition. With that being said . . . Coons is a rather bland candidate. Someone, please, get him a copy of Drew Westen's The Political Brain, stat!

None of the Ds listed are beating Rs Posted by: koreyel on January 27, 2010 at 1:52 PM | PERMALINKRollo, @ 12:26, Palin has endorsed McCain. Some Teabaggers are really, really, ticked off and are no longer talking about Palin for 2012. Ah, the fickle love of the mob... Posted by: exlibra on January 27, 2010 at 2:59 PM | PERMALINKhow many birthers think palin would be president if Obama were really born in Kenya? I bet most of them believe that. Every wingnut I know hates McCain. Posted by: merl on January 27, 2010 at 3:37 PM | PERMALINKI don't have any love for Specter but Toomey is unacceptable-- no Pat Toomey, no, no, no. Looks like I might have to sign up to support Specter (or Sestak) just to try and stop Toomey. He's worse than Rick Santorum! ugh.
