[…] top of it all, every single Senate poll shows Franken closing the gap, maintaining a tie, or starting to edge ahead […]

TwoPuttTommy: I agree. Dean Barkley got some DFL votes in ‘96 because A) Democrats were bored and restless that year, and B) polls showed Wellstone ahead by a comfortable enough margin that it looked safe to throw their votes away. Some very different dynamics are at play in 2008. It looks like the Senate race could be a nail-biter, and Democrats really aren’t in the mood to lose a third presidential election in a row.

This is, of course, assuming that Barkley wins the IP primary. At seven candidates, that’s half the IP’s remaining members running for the seat.

Please send Al Franken to Woodbury. We Republicans would love for him to be the face of the Democrat party in the 2008 election. Especially in Woodbury.

The Senate race will go down to the wire. This is getting interesting.

AS IS the Presidential race in MN!! Rasmussen (yes, Rasmussen, traditionally generous for the Dems) has Obama 4 pts ahead of McCain, within the 4.5% margin of error!!!

It’s getting interesting!

Patrick, what I’m hearing from the independents and moderates is that they’re mighty (cheney)in’ sick of the attack ads bein’ run by both Team Franken and Team Smokescreen.

And I’m hearing a lot of them say “a POX on BOTH of their houses; I’m voting for Barkley.”

Questions: Will the continued negative ads help Franken more than Coleman, if the volleying drives moderates and independents towards Barkley?

I’d guess it’ll help Franken more than Coleman.

While this poll is a little better than previous polls, once the primary is over and the Republicans are assured that Franken is their target, I expect more dirt to be exposed. This poll will be the best Franken showing from here on.
