This race has remained pretty stable for months now. The only question is whether people will abandon Cahill at least last moment and, if so, who will they move to. Still plenty of undecided in this race too.

This poll looks pretty great for Baker, considering it is only a Registered voters poll. Also, Cahill has a high percentage in this poll. According to rasmussen, people who break from Cahill support Baker over Patrick.

According to Ras, everyone in the country hopefully would vote Republican.

Patrick's got this.

It has been consistent that Deval has had the lead, but the only thing that could concern me is if Cahill pulled out of the race. He sort of reminds me of a south Boston version of H Ross. Perot. He is unconventional, and not the most polished as a politician. Some voters like that.
The 2012 Democratic senate primary has already started. By 2012 the GOP may be so unpopular that the only way they can have a chance to beat Obama is a Scott Brown/Susan Collins ticket.

South Bostonian politicians who are Democrats usually have their problems with both progressives ad Rebublicans in Mass. Usually the GOP candidates in Mass are independently wealthy fiscal conservatives who run on big tax cuts, and in many cases the Democratic candidates tend to be well funded or independently wealthy. Cahill is a former blue dog bostonian Democrat, and I don't think he is crazy about either party or candidate. I doubt he'll pull out.

Oh! What do you know: New York Times now has Dino Rossi as the odds on favorite to win the Senate seat... Follows in suit with electoralmap.net, RCP, the primary results when combining all challengers, and every recent poll aside from this joke of a poll. Face it, the DSCC is pouring 2 million into Murray because they are scared and rightfully so. And why would Rossi pour tons on signs on the East side? He is going to carry that region regardless and his turnout will be high. My friend who goes to Centrsl has seen a few signs so I would not say that there is not a single one. Where I am, there is nothing but large Dino signs at every major intersection. The only laughable nelcon is that you seem to be dillusioned into thinking this is slam dunk for Murray, but unfortunately you are going to be in for a rude awakening when reality kicks in Nov 2
