MyDD bloggers look at the polling trends in the Democratic nomination fight and candidates in two congressional races. J Ro notes that the polling trend in Pennsylvania, where Hillary Clinton’s lead is shrinking. J Ro adds that the media coverage, which suggests that Obama is “gaining” support, is “misleading” since it doesn’t take into account voters’ tendency to examine candidates and make decisions as the election approaches. Todd Beeton goes to a town hall meeting held by Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn.) and finds that Shays, the only New England GOP House member, tries hard to seem more liberal than he really is. Scott Kleeb, the Democrats’ candidate for Senate in Nebraska, posts a thank you note to his online supporters and asks them for more help in a race that tilts heavily toward Republicans.
