I’m glad to see Indiana’s best is doing so well.

Abdul over at Indiana Barrister has also received the “leaked” poll results which he considers indicative that Burton has something to gain by “leaking” the poll.

Yes, he has something to gain. Show people he’s kicking McGoff’s butt.

Wow, I honestly thought it would be a lot closer. He’s really spanking McGoff…at least according to his poll.

Even after all the bad press?? That’s impressive. And I read that McGoff had a really bad fundraising quarter. Of course, that’s probably why they held the press conference on the Cadillac.

Someone told me this poll was taken in April or May. Which would make since because McGoff wasn’t known at that time.

For being a county elected official who was in office for eight years in the state’s most populous county and city and a person who was being courted to run against Bart Peterson, name ID wouldn’t be much of a problem for him.
