INTERNAL POLL DUMP (PUT ALL INTERNAL HOUSE POLLS HERE)

[Torie]

Here is one where Norm Dicks (WA-6) is down by 4%, 48-44.  Whatever.

Hahahaha

FWIW, Rossi in 2004 in the governor's race, carried WA-9 by one basis point. So, if his current race statewide is skin tight ... and this election is totally nationalized ?

WA-09 or WA-06?

You also need to keep in mind that voters have been familiar with Norm Dicks since the Ford Administration. To much of the older generation voting against him is simply unthinkable.

WA-9.  Rossi lost WA-6 by 7,000 votes, or 2.5%.  (Yes, I mixed up the CD numbers.) Anyway, that must be why Magnuson won in 1994 - respect for political fossils. Oh wait ...

Yes, I had a soft spot for Slade - not as soft as for Alan Simpson, with whom I was in love, and who should have been POTUS - but a soft spot nonetheless.

Time flies when you are having fun. It seemed to me that I was savoring Magnuson's defeat just yesterday, as it were.

POS has Mike Fitzpatrick (R - PA 8 ) up ten - 50% to 40% - over incumbent Pat Murphy

I never believed that other poll a week or so back, that showed Murphy's political corpse was re-animating. There was no reason for him to rise back from the dead.

Whether it is an external or internal poll I don't know, but it appears that the neck choker has fallen behind.

RCP list this district as "lean Dem" by the way, as does Stu Rothenberg. Sabato has it "likely Dem." Will NC-2 migrate to a new place on their lists?

And I just can't resist adding this little lagniappe from Stu Rothenberg, in his most recent essay, which has overtones of close to a nervous breakdown on his part:

[quote]The magnitude of the GOP victory could be evident relatively early in the evening. If Republicans defeat Democratic incumbents Joe Donnelly (Ind.) and/or Ben Chandler (Ky.), or if North Carolina Reps. McIntyre, Shuler and Etheridge fall, massive Democratic losses are likely.
