Fawcett tied in CD5. And that's no joke.

Is it surprising that Democratic CD5 nominee Jay Fawcett is tied with his Republican opponent, Dishonest Doug Lamborn? It shouldn't be. Fawcett is a decorated military veteran while Lamborn is a strident political careerist who has alienated his entire party. From the Post:

Fawcett and Lamborn each have 37% of the votes, while 26% of voters in the six-county district remain undecided. The poll was conducted Oct. 3 through Saturday and included 400 likely voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Daily Kos, MyDD and Square State are also covering the poll. Lamborn's response? Probably something like, "Keep your mouth shut."
