Woah!… Republican Van Tran is tied with far left democrat Loretta Sanchez in California’s 47th district.
Obama carried the district in 2008 by 22 points!
Guy Benson at Town Hall reported:
In a media exclusive, Townhall.com has obtained a brand new, eye-opening poll from California’s 47th Congressional District–conducted by Public Opinion Strategies:
Van Tran is tied with Loretta Sanchez on the ballot test. Fully 39% of likely voters say they are supporting Van Tran, while 39% are backing Sanchez and 5% siding with Ceci Iglesias (17% undecided). Moreover, Tran’s definite support level is higher than that of Congresswoman Sanchez (30% definitely voting for Tran – 28% definitely voting for Sanchez).
– While there are certainly solid ethnic coalitions in this race – Asian and Vietnamese voters siding with Tran, Latinos favoring Sanchez – Tran enjoys a commanding 34-point lead with White voters in the district (60% Tran – 26% Sanchez).
– Van Tran also polls strongly with Independent voters (42% Tran – 28% Sanchez) and older voters (50% Tran – 30% Sanchez) – two groups that are likely going to determine the victor here.
– Van Tran has a commanding 22-point lead over Sanchez (52% – 30%) among voters who say they are “extremely interested” in the upcoming elections

kind of off tpoic but this is just one more data point to prove the false narrative about Gov Palin being toxic.
the rally sat in CA wiht Palin has the featured speaker was in Van’s backyard. He was at the rally. He was embraced by Palin and now he is tired with the dem. This is not to say Gov Palin is the reason for his movement in the polls. I am only pointing out that according to the false narrative this type of embrace by Gov Palin in liberal CA should have been a death sentence for VAn. instead it did nothing of the sort. His numbers did not drop, the independents did not flee him etc etc.
In fact if fundraising is factored in gov Palin’s trip to Van’s homeground was a major asset.
I think the right needs to pushback and pushback hard on this false narrative of the LSM and the Gop/dem establishment about Gov Palin. By accepting the false narrative it hurts congressional candidates in liberal state who could use a shot in the arm woth fundraising that a Palin trip brings.

Sanchez will get the illegal alien vote, or, if there’s a recount, the dead convict vote will be tacked on to her total.

The polls cannot reflect the tsunami coming. Mainly because many of us lie like a cheap rug to the media.
Sandbaging to get a K.O. out of the blue. powder is dry.
T.S. commented:
Even though Republicans are expected to take Congress, there are a handful of house races that, if the Republican were to upset the entrenched Democrat, would function as shots “heard ’round the world.” This is one such race. Loretta Sanchez is just about as low-rent, corrupt and as air-headed as imaginable (with apologies to Hank Johnson, D-Georgia, of Guam capsizing fame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs23CjIWMgA ).
Sure, a Sean Bielat upset over Barney Frank would unleash a bigger shockwave. A Joel Pollak upset over the vile Janice Shakowsky would be huge too (and would position Pollack — a potential superstar who the inept Republican party has completely overlooked/ignored — for bigger things down the road). But a Van Tran upset over Loretta Sanchez would still be monumental.
Anybody who can help out the Tran campaign, either financially or by volunteering, NEEDS TO DO SO.
