Mahoney's Obama/Clinton poll
U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-Palm Beach Gardens, one of Florida's would-be super delegates, says he's not inclined to choose between Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama yet, because neither is actively working to seat Florida's Democratic delegates. "It makes no sense to reward Barack or Hillary without Florida," he said.
But he has talked with both of them, and says his district appears split: In a poll commissioned for his campaign last month, Clinton and Obama were running about equal. As has been the pattern elsewhere, Clinton polled better among traditional working-class Democrats, while Obama's strength came from middle- and upper-income Democrats, as well as independents and a small number of Republicans.
His mixed rural, suburban and urban district runs from Palm Beach County through the belly of the state to the Gulf Coast.





The poll also showed Mahoney losing to Tom Rooney but beating Gayle Harrell, but they don't want to talk about that.

I have seen the poll, Mahoney beats Harrell by double digits and losing to Rooney by single digits.
Don't expect that to see the light of day, but it's no wonder that Mahoney is pushing a decent portion of her anorexic fundraising.

Here’s a good summary of some reasons to consider supporting Obama.
Worth sharing with anyone you know who’s still undecided.

7:09- I'm calling your bluff.
Rooney doesn't have enough name ID yet to beat Mahoney.
Mahoney is scared to death of running against Gayle.
She's the only one who can win.
I'd expect his surrogates to spread the false rumors she's weak. Similarly, I'd expect that of her struggling primary rivals.
Besides a few blog endorsements, things aren't going to well for Team Rooney...

Since Rooney is unkown in the primary, I highly doubt he's beating mahoney. Harrell is up on him by 39 points. Its unfortunate Rooney didn't run for the state house. His future will be short when he comes in third being bested by even Valache.

Harrell: only one to qualify by petition
Harrell: raised as much as ronoey last quarter
Harrell: Has outraised rooney in the district in astronomical proportions
Harrell: WINNING THE PRIMARY
