question?

the governor's race had a %40 threshold to avoid run-off last year; does the %40 threshold apply here? my feeling would be that IF lundsford is held BELOW the %40 threshold that he would lose in the subsequent run-off

Nope

a) the 40% law didn't apply to anything but the Governor's race, making it utterly pointless.

b) the 40% law was repealed this year.

Note to SurveyUSA

do you really need to attach an option for "Others" when your question includes every candidate on the ballot?

the SUSA poll, I find this interesting

QUOTE
Filtering: 1,600 state of KY adults were interviewed 05/03/08 through 05/05/08. Of them, 1,454 were registered to vote. Of them, 595 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the 05/20/08 Primary. Kentucky's primary is closed; only Democrats may vote.
how many of those register to vote are actually republicans?
I wonder how the 595 likely voters would have polled?
I've never been called on these survey, and I always vote.
