Here's tonight's run-down of the Congressional races:Another Poll Shows Tight Race For Murtha A new poll from the Las-Vegas based Dane & Associates, commissioned by GrassrootsPA.com, shows Jack Murtha with a bare lead of 46%-44% over GOP opponent William Russell, within the ±3% margin of error. GrassrootsPA.com is a right-wing site, but it should be noted that Dane is a non-partisan firm that has done polling work for politicians of both parties from across the country.New Mahoney Ad: He's A Jerk, But Look At The Other Guy Rep.

Lunsford Releases The Hounds On McConnell Senate candidate Bruce Lunsford (D-KY) has this new ad against Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, resurrecting an old McConnell campaign motif to show a man and his hound dogs chasing a frightened McConnell, with the hunter yelling at the incumbent for his record in Washington:The ad is a remake/parody of an ad that McConnell himself used way back in 1984, when he first ran against and defeated Democratic Sen.
