I happened to come across this poll over at Rasmussen on the Maryland Senate race:
…The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Mikulski picking up 54% of the vote, while Wargotz earns 38% support. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and another four percent (4%) are undecided…
So, done deal, right? Wargotz hasn’t got a chance – and, indeed, Rasmussen considers this race “Solid Democrat”. But a bit further in the poll results is this:
…Wargotz holds a 10-point lead among voters not affiliated with either major political party…
10 points! That is a lot – and even in deep Blue Maryland, you do need Independents to cobble together a majority. Meanwhile, a search of the past showed that in 2006 Mikulski picked up 65% of the general election ballot. She’s back 11 points from her last outing, and trailing among Independents. This race has not been put to bed, yet – and Wargotz is just our kind of guy:
…Like you, I am outraged by career politicians who care more about their political lives than those of the folks who elected them. Our government, founded in our U.S. Constitution, provides the means by which we can and will correct this. The line has been drawn and “We the People” is the battle cry for election 2010. All of us have had more than enough of “business as usual”…
Anyone who can help Wargotz out, should – there is much to draw our attention these days, but we must leave no stone unturned in fighting against Obama and his liberal Democrats. Especially if you live in a State with no Senate race, or your GOP candidate is cruising to victory, this is the time to stand up and be counted. A little bit now could be a lot, later.
If you do want to help out, you can go to Wargotz’ website.
