Poll-itics: $793,000 later, Joe Wilson trailing Democrat

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I posted about Rob Miller's raking in the big bucks after Joe the Mouther's little outburst. By the way, as of this writing, his ActBlue intake is now up to $793,329.

Seems those two little words, "You lie!", worked some more magic:

The poll, commissioned by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, shows that Wilson trails his Democratic opponent Rob Miller, 44 to 43 percent. A sizable 62 percent majority of voters said they disapproved of Wilson’s actions, with only 29 percent approving.

Keep shouting, Joe the Mouther. We're at about $400,000 a word now.

“In a matter of seconds Joe Wilson turned himself from a safe incumbent into one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country for 2010,” PPP pollster Dean Debnam wrote.

Poof! Cautious optimism:

It’s a bit premature to be writing Wilson’s political obituary yet. The congressman won the district with 54 percent of the vote last year, a number depressed by the record level of African-American turnout in a presidential election. And it would be useful to see additional polling in the district before drawing any firm conclusions.

Sure, but nearly $800,000 is nothing to sneeze at. The playing field just got a whole lot more level.

The pimple on the ass of progress may be coming to a head.
