PoliPundit.com — Another poll finds Doug Hoffman leading in NY-23! Meanwhile, two new polls show Christie leading in New Jersey, and two more polls show McDonnell leading in Virginia by double digits. November 3, 2009, could be eerily like November 2, 1993, when Christie Todd Whitman squeaked by the incumbent Democrat governor in New Jersey, and George Allen crushed his Democrat opponent in Virginia. Those results presaged the 1994 Republican Revolution.

Poll Gives Hoffman the Lead in NY-23

Hoffman Pulls Ahead in NY23– Leads Scozzafava By 20 Points
Gateway Pundit — Conservative Doug Hoffman now leads his democratic opponent by 5 points. He leads the GOP candidate by 20 points. Real Clear Politics reported: For the second time in two days, a poll released by a conservative group finds Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman leading the Nov. 3 special election race for New York’s 23rd District. Neighborhood Research polled the district for Minuteman PAC, the political arm of the Minuteman Movement, which has endorsed Hoffman and is airing ads on his behalf. Hoffman leads Democrat Bill ...

Brainster's Blog — ... Why? First, because his opponent is not a moderate; she's a liberal. She supports card-check (elimination of secret ballot for union elections), for Pete's sake! Second, where I have pushed for the moderate candidate, it's in elections where the race was tight, and the GOP needed to attract independents. That's not the case in NY-23; the latest polling shows the Democrat, Owens, with only 29% of the vote. There's no reason to suppose Hoffman can't win that race, or that a strong showing by him would result in Owens winning a squeaker. Scozzafava looks like a loser in that ...
