GOP Amodei Holds Large Lead Over Dem Marshall

From the Reno Gazette Herald: Republican Mark Amodei holds a 13-point lead over Democrat Kate Marshall and wider leads over two other candidates in the race for the open seat in Nevada’s 2nd U.S. House District, according to a survey commissioned by a national conservative advocacy group with a branch in Nevada.
If the election were held today, Amodei would beat Marshall, 48 percent to 35 percent, according to the poll commissioned by Americans For Prosperity, based in Arlington, Va. Tim Fasano of the Independent American Party would get 4 percent of the vote and non-partisan Helm Lehmann would get two percent. Eleven percent said they were undecided.
If the special election set for Sept. 13 was strictly Marshall vs. Amodei, the Republican from Carson City would hold a 51 to 36 percent advantage.
"The results are consistent with what we hear," said Fred Lokken, a political science professor at Truckee Meadows Community College. "It reflects the split with the Republicans and Democrats right now, with Amodei with the stronger support and Marshall with the softer support."

Some silly Democrats think they have a chance to win this seat, but they would be wrong.
That's not to say that Amodei is a great candidate- he isn't. He's a RINO with a big horn on the front of his face.
But Marshall, who I had thought was independent is turning out to be a Crybaby Harry Reid clone (sex not withstanding) who just spouts the tired old Democrat line.
So, the GOP will hold onto the seat and maybe in 2012, we will have a more conservative candidate in the primary.
