Beauprez wasn't tested?...
I know, right?
Hick is polling in the low to mid 40s as an incumbent in a right-trending state with a rock star Republican at the top of the ticket for Senate and Hick is comfortable? Maybe as comfortable as a PETA activist at your local Outback.
Besides, Beauprez is a slight favorite to win the nomination and he was inexplicably left out of this poll.
I say Hick has whatever advantage incumbency gives you, but it isn't much.
Ok where did you hear this? I would prefer Gardner over Beauprez, he had a terrible year in 2006, don't forget. Lost by 15 points if IIRC.
