But I hope Barkley wins.
Just wanted to point out that I was a little off about the Rasmussen polls… they’ve been within three points of each other since May, not March.
Barkley is doing well and may even reach into the 20s in the actual election, though he’s a long shot to win. I can’t say I care which one of the other rotten candidates he “spoils.”
Who are you talking to Spence?
Yeah, goddamn those pesky localized third parties that can actually run viable campaigns.
It is a very close race. Coleman and Franken have been within three points of each other in Rasmussen polls since March!
Damn. Barkley playing spoiler to Franken would just be the absolute worst case scenario in this race.
