According to accounts out of Texas, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) N.Y. told a group gathered at a fundraiser that internal polling shows Ben Chandler vs. Sen. Mitch McConnell in 2008 would be a virtual dead heat. Congressman Chandler won't run against McConnell, he's eyeing Jim Bunning's seat, if anything. But Schumer's poll numbers show McConnell with a 45% to 44% lead over Chandler, if they should square off. Schumer says a second question tied McConnell directly to President Bush and the war in Iraq and showed Chandler leading 55% to 42% in that type of "push polling." No mention was made of a hypothetical matchup between McConnell and Charlie Owen. |
