(H/T: Instapundit) He’s dropped another four points in two weeks. 51% in mid-January; 47% now. That’s the lowest it’s been since 2001.

Admittedly, he’s currently up more or less two-to-one against a hypothetical Kudlow candidacy.  Currently.  As I noted last week, Schumer wasn’t exactly challenged in his last election, and his current relationship with Wall Street threatens to clash badly with the President’s unfolding plan to demonize that institution.  How well his supposed invulnerability will hold up under a real political assault has yet to be seen.  Aggressive, ambitious New York Republicans, please note…

PS: That being said: the pun in the title was so egregious it was inflammatory.

[UPDATE] Welcome, Campaign Spot readers.

Said caveats are: Internal poll, D+16 district, and Moran’s still ahead by three.  But a 44/41 Moran/Berry split at this stage is still noteworthy: add five points to Moran’s total and he still polls under 50% – which means that he’s vulnerable.  I don’t mind seeing a 40/38 split on ‘try somebody new’/'keep Moran,’ either.

Post-Massachusetts, it’s no longer reasonable to assume that anybody on the Democratic side is too safe to be defeated: so keep an eye on this race.  I’ve mentioned Matthew Berry before: if I was in his district I’d probably be supporting him in the primary right now, not least because he’s been engaging the new social media (which is a pretentious way of saying ‘he’s actively working to get support’).  And I can’t [expletive deleted] stand Jim [expletive deleted] Moran.  Watching that particular corrupt, anti-Semitic suckweasel go down in flames on Election Night would be a better present than a pony, and I’ve always wanted a pony.

As a general rule, it is not a good idea to endorse a position and policy objective on minority handgun ownership that would be enthusiastically endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan.

It’s bad when you have to hope that an advocate of a position is merely abysmally ignorant of history.

PS: “Guns don’t kill people.  People kill people.” We keep saying that because it’s true.
PPS: “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” We keep saying that because it’s true.

Err, right.

PS: Is this any good? Not that it matters, until I get a splitter that keeps the video cables away from my son the rogue.

Never mind the ostensible reason for this post; let’s focus on a 2007 scandal “involving the Hoboken, New Jersey SWAT team, which claimed to have gone on a humanitarian aid trip to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, but ended up partying it up at Mardis Gras, with ensuing photos involving Hooters girls, Jello shots, and SWAT chief Lt. Angelo Andriani posing as a member of the Ku Klux Klan.”

Wow. You need tequila for that level of idiocy. Or cocaine.  Or both!

“Bartender! Give me a cocaine Margarita!”

“A… cocaine Margarita?”

“It saves time. I’m on the road to self-destruction, and I want to take the HOV Lane.”

They got nothing to live for, nothing ahead of them to look forward to, and nothing left behind to hold them back.  So why the hell not?  You call this life?

Residents of an Eastside neighborhood may have found relief from a gang that laid siege to the area over the past few months, kicking and biting at people, jamming up traffic and chasing terrified residents into their homes.

The gang – that’s what the U.S. Geological Survey calls a flock of wild turkeys – went after 68-year-old Carol Herzog on Monday, she said.

Officers with the state Department of Natural Resources took down both toms in the gang of six Tuesday morning, likely putting an end to the gang’s rampage.

“If you’re attacked by a person, there’s usually some reasoning, but a turkey has no reason.”

So, basically, this:

Only with turkeys.
