Some more reasons<\/a> for optimism in the CD-22<\/a> race between Claudia Tenney<\/a>, Kim Myers<\/a> and Martin Babinec<\/a>.\u00a0 I believe Tenney is leading the group.<\/p>\n

First, there are two biased polls, one by the DCCC<\/a> and another by a Republican-leaning group<\/a>, which indicate Tenney is either tied or a little ahead of Myers.<\/p>\n

Second, a Democrat super PAC is doing a big attack ad campaign<\/a> against Tenney.\u00a0 If Myers were out in front they would not be doing that.<\/p>\n

With it being a three-way race a candidate only needs a plurality of votes to win.\u00a0 Tenney had some issues<\/a> with local Republicans, but appears to have gotten past that.<\/p>\n
