Right...? Anyway I am going to show how non-hackish and fair I am despite being accused of it. I think Shaw will win. Surely, we know internal polls tend to overly favour their candidate. If Klein can only claim to be ahead by 1% then I don't think he has a good chance of upsetting Shaw. A non-partisan poll recently had Shaw leading 42%-38%. Klein is well-funded and has good credentials and he will make it close but Clay Shaw has somehow managed to stay above the anti-incumbent tide this year despite the fact this District voted for Kerry. I also think Shaw is drawing additional sympathy due to his cancer.
This is an obvious fundraising strategy, was all Al was saying. Most of the public, even the donating public, doesn't realise that being tied in an internal poll is a very bad thing.
