Knock me over with a feather: Rubenstein polling well among Independents
The breakdown of the 9 News poll is up at SurveyUSA. The number that jumps out at me? Herb Rubenstein, who made his mark early in the campaign by calling for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, is doing better among Independents than he is among Democrats.
Perlmutter overwhelmingly wins the Democratic vote; Herb pulls just 9%. But among Independents, Herb's number shoots up to 20%. That's the problem with mudslinging. In a two-way race, it's fine. But in a three-way race, it may drive otherwise undecided, uninformed voters to search for an alternative candidate.
The hat-tip for the SurveyUSA link goes to Square State.

I know a lot of us Dems have only unopposed candidates in our districts, but we should all still vote in the primary. An unusual turn out in districts where we don't even have a choice will send a message. We're serious about taking back our state and our country.
