1. If you look at last month's poll

Blouin was at 36% to Nussle’s 41% in Feb’s poll and now is at 34% to Nussle’s 41%, so he has lost 2% the last month. Fallon’s has stayed in the same margin as last month after gaining 5% the month before. Culver went from a 1% lead over Nussle to a 2% lead.

2. Yeah, someone said that over at Chris Wood's page or Drew Miller's

I can't remember which.

Blouin is coming out as the fat, angry, old candidate who position-switches at the drop of a hat. (Who also attempts to use past records to attack his challengers - what you say? Challenge Mike Blouin? How dare you? - but roars that his record cannot be questioned because it is so old except for when his record can be used for his advantage). I'm so fricken dizzy just from writing that!

I like that Chet is still up there - knowing that anything can happen in the next 60 days as soon as Nussle unleashes some of his cash to influence the primary.

Does anyone know when the next reporting period is? How much money Blouin and Culver have will dictate how messy the next couple of months are going to get. Fallon proved at the ISU Forum that he won't get into it. I think that will influence the undecideds very much so.

:hi:

Sorry, I am on repeat mode today. :crazy:

4. I didn't know that was you! I'll have to keep an eye on your wandering

'round the internets ;).
