Yesterday I noted some Democrats were nervous about the Gabby Giffords House seat in Arizona. The latest survey by Public Policy Polling — a Democratic firm — suggests this nervousness is unjustified. PPP shows Democrat Ron Barber beating Republican Jesse Kelly 53 percent to 41 percent, even with a Green Party candidate taking 4 percent. Kelly narrowly lost to Giffords in 2010. The special election is tomorrow.

That's right, so if you were going to vote for Kelly go ahead and stay home. The Democrat sponsored poll said so.

Never underestimate the idiocy of the average American voter.

I've got $100 on Jesse Kelly that says this poll's wrong, or at least I hope it is!! Just because you feel sorry about what happened to Gabby Giffords (and who doesn't feel sorry for her?), doesn't mean you have to give her old seat to another Democrat!! I think this one's going to Jesse Kelly!! But we'll see tomorrow night, huh?

Why isn't this election held in November? Or will the seat only be good until January and there will be another election in 5 months. This makes no sense, Arizona.
