National Campaign Tracking Blog Calls Corker "Frontrunner"
Conservative blogger Gerry Daly of Daly Thoughts has this to say after reading Chattanoogan.com's article on the latest Ed and Van squabble:
The Hilleary camp also says the “most recent scientific primary survey” shows him with 33%, Bryant with 15%, and Corker with 4%, but gives no details about who did the survey and when; frankly those numbers do not seem likely to be correct to me– particularly Corker’s numbers. That has the look of a campaign survey, where before asking preference they asked several ‘framing’ questions first, and gave only Hilleary and Bryant as choices (but recorded volunteered responses of Corker). Perhaps not, but I am very skeptical of those numbers.In any case, the money race shows that Corker is building a sizeable warchest, and as such I am starting to view him as the frontrunner, regardless of what the polls currently say. (Emphasis added by ed.)
Daly tracks an unthinkable number of polls and fundraising reports, and provides some of the most reasoned commentary on 'Tier A' campaigns that I can find.
He also says, of Tennessee's Conservativer-than-thou duo, "I expect to see more spitballs flying between those two campaigns over the next two months."
It is kinda fun to watch these two fight for second place, so I hope they keep up the schoolboy act.
