Burner, Reichert in dead heat, poll says

[flamingyouth]

The Republican lock on suburban Seattle's 8th Congressional District may be weakening, according to a non-partisan poll released Wednesday.

Freshman Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., and Democratic challenger Darcy Burner are "neck and neck," according to a KING5/SurveyUSA poll.

Of the 536 likely voters interviewed between Thursday and Monday, 50 percent would vote to re-elect Reichert, 48 percent would vote for Burner. The poll's margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.

The 13-point lead Reichert held in a similar poll conducted by the same firm last month has disappeared.

1. Go Darcy

he's going to be tough to beat. after all, he 'caught' a retarded mass murderer years after he stopped killing.

2. I really like Burner's TV ads

They're quite a bit better than Cantwell's frankly.

Knocking off Reichert would be awesome.

3. I am definitely donating to Darcy

This is the district I grew up in (although my childhood home has now migrated into district 01...), and I'll be glad to see it turn blue.

4. Wishing her luck. Yesterday saw a RNC attack ad on her, today on Cantwell.
