Does the Republican party have a chance for a huuuge upset in Massachusetts’ special election for Marty Meehan’s House seat on October 16? Patrick Ruffini writes, “a SurveyUSA/WBZ poll out last week had [Lt. Col. Jim Ogonowski (Ret.)] within 10 points of entrenched Democrat Niki Tsongas, widow of the late Senator and presidential candidate. That’s remarkable against someone with 100% name ID… in the current political environment… in Massachusetts!”

Rightroots is making a push for Ogonowski.
