Frank Holds Comfortable Lead


Rep. Barney Frank's (D-MA) personal loan of $200,000 to his congressional campaign made some think he might be in trouble for re-election, but a new WPRI poll shows Frank leading challenger Sean Bielat (R) by double-digits, 49% to 37%.

2. Incredibly good news.

I'm really hoping, after the billions the rich repugs have spent, that they lose BIG.

3. For him to be polling under 50% is still disturbing

Barney won't lose, but this is still annoying.

4. 19% of the people in his district would vote for a dining room table. n/t

5. I'm just used to seeing Barney win with 75%

....or not even have an opponent.

8. Not too late for the Teabaggers to throw some more money

into the sinkhole of the GOP wilderness.

Spend, baby, spend.

9. Whew!

I wasn't that worried, but it was concerning that his name was even mentioned as a potential person in trouble.
