Will Weld break 40%?

[WalterMitty]

and this reminds me of the Republicans who thought Obama was beatable

He was. Just not with the trash that we put against him.

Obama was a shoo-in from day one. Pre-scandal breaking, he led his original opponent by 10 points.

and we all know a 10 point gap never closes.

and we all know a 10 point gap never closes. 

Presumably Senator Bowles told you that?

that's right. 

by the way, bowles is set to become president of the 16 campus unc system.  a pretty prestigious job.  perhaps his political career isnt over yet after all.

Who do you think Weld voted for in 2004?

bush.

i saw him interviewed during the campaign.  he didnt have too many flattering things to say about kerry.

im pretty sure he was also at the 04 republican convention.

[WalterMitty]

Let's pretend there was some House seat. The first poll from it said that the incumbent had a 60-20 lead over his likely challenger. Wouldn't most agree the incumbent would be a shoo-in? Or that polls could change and the challenger could still somehow close that 40 point gap.

only one problem with that analysis.....this isnt a house seat.
