2006 Midterm Election Update #7















17 days left until the 2006 midterm elections, and candidates aree working around the clock to get votes. The race for the control of Capitol Hill has become the closest since the Mark Foley scandal. Polls show most races in a dead heat. In Maryland Senate race GOP Lt. State Governor has gained a little ground against Dem. Congressman Ben Cardin. Cardin now leads 49-44%. In the Virginia U.S. Senate race George Allen is still just barely holding on to his lead in his bid for reelection. Jim Webb is still putting up a good fight. Can this close reeleection bid effect George Allen in his possible White House Run. In Governor races across the country Charlie Crist has developed a double digit lead in his bid to succed Jeb Bush as Florida governor over Dem. Congressman Jim Davis(50-39%). In Iowa Dem. Secretary of State Chet Culver barely ahead of GOP Congressman Jim Nussle is his bid for governor. Nevada GOP Congressman Jim Gibbons is likely on his way to becoming the next governor beating State Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus 51-43%. In Wisconsin, Democratic Governor Jim Doyle is leading GOP challenger and congressman Mark Green, 51%-38%.
In Wyoming, Incumbant Democratic Governor Dave Freudenthal is demolishing his GOP challenger Ray Hunkins 63-30%. He has increased his lead to double Hunkin's showing in polls. Also In my homestate of Wyoming, popular U.S. Senator Craig Thomas (R) is crushing his opponent Dale Groutage (D) 67-26%. That is all for today, but stay tune to politics-central as the clock winds down to Election Day!!!!!!!!!!
