SUSA: Harry Within MoE!
A new SUSA poll is out!
10/13-15; 509 Likely Voters; MoE +/- 4.4%
Hayworth: 48
Mitchell: 45
Severin: 5
Undecided: 2
This is amazing. J.D. has given this all he got, and it's getting him no where. He has tried bringing up "dirt" on Harry from the 1980s. That didn't work. Then he has hit Harry on immigration with threats of amnesty or giving illegal immigrants Social Security benefits. That hasn't worked. Expect J.D. to get even more vicious with his attacks and expect lies and spin.
This is about ground game now. I cannot stress this enough:
Volunteer.
Reserve election day to help Harry GOTV. Go canvassing on the weekends and even if you have an hour, stop by his HQ and phonebank.
This isn't in the bag, yet, but there is no way Hayworth is going to gain any more ground. This poll indicates that Republican turnout will not be as high as past elections. J.D. has already pissed off some in his anti-immigrant base by rescinding his Pearce endorsement. Now, let's get those voters out and hopefully by December, J.D. will be looking for a new sportscaster job.
Other news:
- Geo covers Radar's "100 Dumbest Congressmen," with J.D. coming in at #4. Yeah, #4. We are represented by the fourth dumbest man in Congress. Geo, the nice guy that he is, says J.D. isn't dumb, he's "critically insight-challenged." It's well worth the read.
- FactCheck.org has refuted J.D.'s assertation that Harry's immigration plan (the same as McCain's, Flake's, Kolbe's, and Bush's) will give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens.
- Craig has all the details about tonight's CD-5 candidate forum.
- Harry's website reports he has received the Rural/Metro endorsement.
Have a good Tuesday evening, everybody!

Tim, any truth to this, any legs?
Pulled from Daily KOS:
Unable to defend his repeated praise of Henry Ford's anti-Semitic "Americanization" program, U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth bailed on a scheduled campaign appearance Tuesday evening only to send in his place surrogates who repeatedly lectured the audience at Temple Beth Israel in Scottsdale and proclaimed that Hayworth "is a more observant Jew" than those present. [Source: Arizona Republic, Oct. 17, 2006]
The comment by Jonathan Tratt, a spokesman for the Hayworth campaign, drew loud and angry boos and caused nearly three-quarters of the crowd of more than 200 to walk out in disgust. After the walkout, another Hayworth surrogate, Irit Tratt, stood on the Temple's bimah as she told members of the audience who gathered to ask questions, "No wonder there are anti-Semites."
