Schmidtke v Smith in the runoff, unless jere beasley's 'christian coaltion shill Brinson' funnels enough money and lies on behalf of jay love. When christians give Christians a bad name it is not unlike the force of beauty translating honesty from what it is, into a bawd, rather than the power of honesty's ability to translate beauty to permanent status. (Shakespeare, apologies for the malaprop of your excellent advice vis, hamlet to ophelia, but it is no better said!) it is all about TV.

I think the Wiregrass wants this seat worse than Montgomery and will turn out better in the extra election. So I think Smith will be strong in the runoff, although Woods could be too with his ties to the Wiregrass. I don’t think you can rule out Smith in the runoff.

It agrees that Smith will make a run off but will likely lose at that point. Post 31, maybe you should re read Post 30. It agrees that Smith will make a run off but will likely lose at that point.

That shows there is a core support that will not go away and I would guess that is coming from the Wiregrass. Far more important in these numbers are the stagnancy (after a month and a half media blitz) in the numbers of Love and the surge upward (with almost the same media buy) of Woods. An impartial observer has to concede that Smith is the most likely of the major candidates to make the runoff, and I would make Woods the favorite for the other spot (and possibly the favorite to lead the primary).

But she will not go any further. Once it is down to two the others will not split votes and she will lose. That is best as HAS would be a weak candidate against Mayor Bright as others have suggested.

She dropped in her own poll. Either her people are having trouble getting her to do what they tell her and this was a wake up call or she her campaign is falling apart. I think she will have trouble making the runoff and even if she does make it she will lose to the Montgomery vote. I appears that she is not working hard enough to win. She is trying to coast through the primary which is typical of an early favorite with a bad consultant. That is a terrible poll for Smith. She dropped in her own poll.
