Reminder: Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) is likely to easily win re-election in November no matter the effort put out to defeat her. I am therefore encouraging California conservatives to apply their efforts to better effect elsewhere, and have personally chosen the Arizona Senate race of Kyl v. Pederson.
The latest email from the National Republican Senatorial Committee linked to a
short post claiming that incument Republican Senator Kyl is winning the "crossover battle":
The latest Arizona Senate poll,
conducted by the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass
Communication at Arizona State University and Eight/KAET-TV, shows
Senator Kyl's lead stands at 10 points, 46% to 36%. "Poll director Dr.
Bruce Merrill says, 'Kyl is maintaining his lead over Pederson by
winning the party crossover battle and by attracting socially
conservative voters to his campaign. In the 'crossover' battle, 22
percent of all registered Democrats are supporting Kyl while only 11
percent of the Republicans are defecting to Pederson.'"
The linked news article at All Headline News doesn't go into details on the reasons that people are crossing over.
