Rossi Now Beating Gubment Lifer Pat Murray

Incumbent Democratic Senator Patty Murray is now a point behind her Republican challenger, Dino Rossi, in Washington state’s race for the Senate. The latest Rasmussen Reports poll has Rossi picking up 48%, while Murray gets 47% of the vote, 2% prefer some other candidate and 3% are undecided. 

Just two weeks ago, Murray held a 51% to 46% lead and prior to this, the candidates were within two points of each other. These more distant polls gave the impression that Murray would handily win, but now that supposition has proven very tenuous. And if Ann Coulter's piece http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=39211 were required reading, Rossi would push past 50% quite easily. Apparently, she's said quite boneheaded things in the past.  For instance, after 9/11, Murray said this about Osama bin Laden:

He's been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. He's made their lives better.

Whah?  I hope we hear more from her in the next month.
