Wetterling Pulling Away

::sigh:: Oh how sweet it is to be a democrat in October of 2006.



A BRAND new Star Tribune poll (released for 10/17) shows Wetterling with a relatively commanding 48-40% lead, on the heels of a Survey USA poll that has her up 50-45. When she arrives in congress, Patty may want to write a nice thank-you note to Mark Foley. Before the scandal Wetterling was consistently underperforming-- now she has been catapulted into the lead.

I would take this with a grain of salt though. The Strib Senate poll gave Klobuchar a fat 21 point lead (55-34) over Mark Kennedy. While I'd rather see Patty up 8 than down by 8, you can be sure this race is closer than advertised.
