How's about some good news? The Tampa Times: "The Republican shot at unseating"

This made me mighty, mighty happy to read. Happy Sunday everyone!

Sen. Bill Nelson leads Connie Mack by 8 points in new Times/Herald/Bay News 9 poll

TALLAHASSEE — The Republican shot at unseating Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is slipping away, according to a new Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald/Bay News 9 poll.

Nelson leads Republican U.S. Rep. Connie Mack IV 48 percent to 40 percent, a three-point shift in the Democrat's favor since July.

That's the good news for Mack, who is losing by double digits in a slew of other recent surveys.

(bold on "a three point shift in the Democrat's favor since July" mine. It makes me wonder if that is the DNC bounce trickling down?)

1. I think it is Romney's negative coattails...and Republican failure in everything else. n/t

2. They didn't fall for Ryan's ressurection of Palin's death panels?

Maybe the new DVDs sent out in the mail will turn them back to the GOP...

Hope not.

3. OK, good news. I thought at first someone shot a rethug!!

Some would celebrate that, but I much prefer beating the pants off them politically than seeing them killed by some looney who thinks they aren't conservative enough.
