MA-5 Update
Written by Sam on September 12th, 2007A poll just released by WBZ-TV shows that the race in the Fifth Congressional District is surprisingly close, with Democrat Niki Tsongas up only 10 percent over Republican Jim Ogonowski.Republicans have been trumpeting the Oct. 16 election as their first chance in years to gain back a congressional seat, but this is the first sign that they are within range and could trigger attention from the national parties.
This is exciting news. I really hope Ogonowski wins this race. He is hands down the better candidate. In my opinion, the only reason Tsongas is even slightly ahead is because she is running on her husband’s name. People shouldn’t vote based on that, but many do. I’ve seen it before.

I am planning to write a check this weekend for Jim. I would encourage others to do so as well.
