WY-AL: More Good News for Democrats
The good news keeps on coming. The Wyoming Tribune-Eagle has released a poll showing that Democrat Gary Trauner is running within the margin of error with incumbent Republican Congresswoman Barbara Cubin. That means this race is even, and Democrats are poised to pick up a seat in the heart of Dick Cheney country.
U.S. Rep. Barbara Cubin, R-Wyo., is in a statistical dead heat with Democratic challenger Gary Trauner in the race for state's lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.Someone tell Rahm Emanuel to get off of Howard Dean's back. If not for Dean's 50 state strategy (which Rahm decried as a waste of resources) Democrats wouldn't even be running this close in Wyoming or Idaho (and probably a few other places).
The statewide poll, commissioned by the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle, shows that of those who are likely to vote, 44 percent supported Cubin and 40.4 percent supported Trauner.
The poll has a margin of error of 4.2 percent.
Libertarian candidate Thomas Rankin garnered 5 percent support, and 8 percent were undecided.

Sorry, just can't help picturing Dean yelling out the names of all 50 states as the DNC argues this strategy. I'm not so sure Cubin is wrong to evoke the image of Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi is probably the main reason the Dems are looking at a gain of 30 seats rather than a gain of 60 tomorrow.

(and yes, we know that sometimes they're very, very wrong. Other times, they're right on.)
