Johnson rebuts Kissell poll

Republican congressional candidate Harold Johnson today dismissed a poll done for his rival, Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell, calling it "a desperate move."

The internal campaign poll, by a Democratic firm, showed Kissell with a 17-point lead over Johnson and wider spread over Libertarian Thomas Hill. Kissell highlighted the survey in a fundraising letter last week.

"I'm putting no stock in it," Johnson said today at a GOP rally in east Charlotte. "It's a desperate move to convince people they should forget (Democratic House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi, forget his vote for stimulus."

In his fundraising letter, Kissell quoted from an article about the poll in Roll Call, a Capitol Hill paper. "Kissell said Thursday that while it was nice to have a favorable snapshot of the race, he has no plans to slow down on the campaign trail," the article said.

You go, "Big Guy!" I just wish that I was a resident of NC and could vote for you. Hope everything turns out well for you in this election.

I will never vote for larry Kissell again, I have spoken to many people who feel they were misled by Larry Kissell. I just wish I could vote for Harold Johnson twice!

I am a Tea Party conservative, but I am voting for Kissell. He voted against Healthcare, stood his ground and has (what I ahve seen) done what he said he would do. He also is against amnesty and illegal aliens.

Kissell must be using that new polling firm set up by Tim D'annuzio

A Kissell win means another vote for Pelosi to stay SOTH. That is enough reason there to vote him out.

Has you seen the Kissell interviews? He is a very nervous incumbent. I hope he did not let his teaching certificate expire.

The angry mood of the country likely dictates here. This one is much closer than the Kissell staff wants to admit. My advice to Larry:
1-don't renew Washington apartment lease
2-renew your NC teaching certificate.

Kissell may be about to feel the same unemployment 25,000 folks in his district are feeling.

It is a shame that one of these will be our next Representative.

Like it or not Johnson just may be our next US Rep. I for one am willing to give him a chance. Can do no worse than Kissell.

Ha, ha, ha. That Kissell guy that lives here and worked in our mills has no idea what Tom Fetzer is sending from Iredell County that was on the TV.

SCREW YOU DALLAS WOODHOUSE.

We vote our own.
