Unexpected Chance

Ben Quayle, the man once thought to be the prohibitive favorite in the race for Arizona's 3rd district, looks like he may be starting to lag. Now, I'll be the first to admit that this poll was done by a liberal group, the Daily Kos. But with 10 percent undecided, and Mr. Quayle down, 44 points compared to Jon Hulburd's 46, in a heavy Republican area, it is still interesting. It's even more interesting considering that, while only 7 percent of Dems will support Mr. Quayle, 19 percent of Republicans will support Mr. Hulburd. Independents back Hulburd 50 to 36. And it may all be because Mr. Quayle has been accused of writing for an adult site, called Dirty Scottsdale, under the name Brock Landers. So far, 52 percent have an unfavorable view of Mr. Quayle.
