This one has you up by 24pts. 4pt gain in a month with 5 months to go. This is going to be a great race! I was told the last poll you did had you guys up by 28 pts.

Local pols like Kenney, Perzel, O'Brien, Taylor and City COuncilman Brian O'Neill stay getting reelected by big majorities (with the exception of Kenney who did not get a big majority last time) because they are literally all over their districts with responsive constituent service and have been for atleast two decades and in a few cases three decades. Saying Boyle is a perennial loser is ridiculous. If you knew anyone from Somerton you'd know he ran a extraordinary campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent. The proof is in the numbers. Before Boyle ran Kenney was winning by 35% to 40% in literally every reelection attempt but one. Boyle's last attempt in 06 got within single digits of Kenney. This was majorly impressive to everyone here. Why do you think Boyle ran uncontested in the primary even though it was an open seat? By the way, Taubenberger has no shot. There was a poll I just saw done by a national polling firm that has Boyle ahead 54% to 30%. I know Boyle is a worker so he won't rest on his big lead.

If you had come out you would know Brendan Boyle's race was specifically discussed. Your input about other races would have been welcome as well. Just sayin'.
