(I can confirm this rumor. Look for the DMN to post on this sometime after midnight... - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
I found out about this from Kuff and I feel I must pass it along.
From Houtopia:
Two weeks before Election Day, we pause for a brief respite from the campaign trail to feed a rumor mill that is churning full-force. If the whispers are true, it would appear we do indeed have a real governor's race down the stretch.
Word is, the Dallas Morning News will report tomorrow on a statewide poll conducted by Brian Epstein for Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. The poll will show Rick Perry is in deep trouble -- garnering just 32% support of those sampled -- with Chris Bell nipping at his heels at 27%, Carole Strayhorn trailing with 20%, and Kinky Friedman cratering in single digits. This is huge news, folks.
Huge? Can I say amazing? From a Kay Bailey poll? She has absolutely no reason to be bias; especially towards Democratic leaning voters.
The base is rallying, and may it continue! Former Kinky supporters (like my dad) are seeing Bell is a better vote. Some Strayhorners are probably defecting, too. |
