Buckeye Firearms Assoc. endorsee Peter Corrigan polls within margin of error against F-rated Dennis Kucinich

by Chad D. Baus

The theme for incumbents in the 2010 elections seems to be that "no one is safe," and that sentiment is exemplified in recent private poll results revealed by The Weekly Standard for an Ohio congressional race.

According to the report, Buckeye Firearms Association endorsee Peter Corrigan, a Republican who earned our highest grade possible as a non-incumbent (B*), is polling with four points of Congressman Dennis Kucinich - within the margin of error.

From the article:

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has obtained the results of a private poll conducted last night in Ohio-10, the Cleveland-area district held for seven terms by Democrat Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich has been widely viewed as safe—even though he fell short of 60 percent of the vote in 2008, and the district has a Cook PVI of only Dem +8.

The poll (based on a small but respectable 319 person sample, with a margin of error of 5.6 percent, weighted to eliminate gender bias) shows Kucinich ahead of his opponent, Peter Corrigan, by only 4 percent. The profile of undecided voters suggests they may break for Corrigan by about 3-2. And Corrigan's 4 percent deficit turns into a 4 percent Corrigan lead when voters are given information on Kucinich's ties to corrupt local Democratic leaders, and on Kucinich's support for illegal immigration. These are signs that undecided voters could be pushed to go Corrigan’s way. Furthermore, Corrigan is running even with Kucinich among those who've already requested their absentee ballot, as early voting has already started in Ohio.

The story goes on to say that Corrigan is doing all this with less than half of the campaign cash that Kucinich has. He is sticking to direct mail and radio ads because he can't afford television.

Kucinich is rated "F" by both BFA and the NRA. He has called for a ban on handguns and semi-automatic firearms, and he supports the implementation of a gun ownership licensing scheme. (http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Dennis_Kucinich_Gun_Control.htm)

If ever there was a race where a little bit of support for a pro-gun candidate could make a big difference, this is it!
