Arizona poll shows Kari Lake leading

 PJ Media:

...

A new poll from The Trafalgar Group in collaboration with The Daily Wire shows that Republicans are not only very close to keeping Arizona’s governor’s seat but might also oust Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly.

The poll has Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake leading her Democratic opponent, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs 49.2% to 46.4%, which is within the margin of error. Still, Lake has led in the RealClearPolitics average since mid-September, and her chances look very good. Hobbs has come under fire for being afraid to debate Lake, and Lake has shown remarkable prowess in handling a hostile media. Former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard also endorsed her, which is bound to help her appeal with independents and maybe even some Democrats who feel their party has become too extreme.
...

But one race that didn’t look as promising was Republican Blake Masters’ campaign to oust Sen. Mark Kelly. Throughout the campaign, Masters has trailed Kelly, but the polls have tightened, and the Trafalgar Group/Daily Wire poll shows Kelly up only one point. Masters has likely benefited from a solid debate performance with Kelly, in which he effectively tied Kelly to Joe Biden, who is extremely unpopular in the state.
...

With the recent history of polls underestimating GOP votes, I suspect both Lake and Masters have a good shot at winning.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
