Keller in trouble?

Alan Grayson, a Democratic lawyer running to unseat U.S. Rep. Ric Keller, R-Orlando, in the 8th congressional district, is touting a new poll by the Kitchens Group showing him up by 4 points, 44 percent to 40. The poll found 16 percent of voters undecided.

Grayson ran in 2004 but didn't survive the primary. This year, he dumped $1-million into the primary campaign and won.

The poll, conducted Sept. 3-6, shows Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama tied, 44 percent to 44 percent. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 points.

[Support Lobbyists vote GOP vote Bush/McCain/Keller]

Senator McCain has been in Washington for twenty-six years and hasn’t lifted a finger to reform the regulations that could’ve prevented this crisis.

In fact, the Bush/McCain/Palin campaign is run by some of the very same lobbyists who fought against these regulations and worked to put special interest giveaways in our federal budget.

Sen. McCain and Rep. Keller want to continue the failed Bush policies that have created large debt and economic instability.

Likely this poll is inaccurate considering around 10 polls show McCain is up on Obama in Florida & there are talks Obama may be pulling out of Florida.

It's time for mavericks to go in & change Washington D.C.

Mvericks McCain & Sarah are the only hope for America for real prosperous change.

Keller is in trouble. So weird cause Grayson is a Nancy Pelosi liberal. Keller should be stomping him.

[It must be the maverick lobbyists supporting Bush/McCain]

Bush/McCain are continuing to push failed policies . . . the same policies that the Bush/McCain team had been paid lobbyists for . . .

Grayson's platform is that he stopped war profiteering, but ask him how he made his money----from lawsuits AGAINST the war profiteers. One would think if he was noble enough to stop people who were gauging us, he would give the money back to us...but not Grayson, he found a way to make a dollar

Grayson is a crazy man. Keller wins.

Grayson should send Todd Long a thank you card.

Todd's campaign showed that Keller is a very weak incumbent.

If Long had gone after Keller's family issue he would be facing Grayson now.

This poll is complete BS. There is no way that McCain is up in Florida by seven points and is tied in this district. The flaw is right in their own press release, the idiots.

agree with 6:09. NO WAY McCain is tied in that district. If I had to guess I'd say McCain would be up by 10-12%. Which means the poll is underperforming for R's by the same amount which would put Keller up 4-6%. That seems about right.

The Pelosi/Kennedy/Obama ticket will increase our taxes and they wanted us to pull out of Iraq. We are now winning the war thanks to the surge and McCain.

Another Democratic lawyer in Congress, just what this nation needs. No thanks. I have not been happy with the Bushbot Republican years but I am more willing to take my chances with McCain setting the GOP agenda than Obama setting the UN agenda.

Top Ten Reasons Why Ric Keller Should Be Re-elected

10. He's smarter than the last guy

9. He's got the toupee vote

8. Ric will replace Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke with briefcase babes from "Deal or No Deal"

7. He will take full advantage of the free food that comes with the job

6. Fox News is on his side

5. He will appoint a Secretary of Donuts

4. He will be the Secretary of Donuts

3. His middle name isn't Hussein... anymore

2. He's been endorsed by Mayor McCheese

1. Keller will convene committee hearings to find out what the hell is wrong with Paula Abdul

I don't understand the logic that just because Keller narrowly one in his primary that the conservative base is not going to vote for him in the general. Barack limped out of the democratic primary, does that mean he is a weak candidate going into the general. I don't think so. Second republicans had higher turnout then dems and that's going to happen again, and Grayson is going down.
