WASHINGTON -- Republican Rep. Joe Wilson and Democratic challenger Rob Miller could be headed for a repeat finish of their 2008 race as a new poll shows the congressman up by 7 points over the former Marine Corps captain in the nation's richest race.

The 46-39 percent margin for Wilson in a poll commissioned by the Miller campaign roughly mirrors the 54-46 percent outcome when the two men faced off two years ago.

Earlier surveys by Anzalone Liszt Research, a Montgomery, Ala., firm, showed Wilson, of Lexington, leading Miller, from Beaufort, by 15 points in May and by 10 points in September.


Gaah - I want Miller to win so bad. You Lie has it coming. And he will just be even more emboldened to act a damn fool if the Repugs take the house.

1. That puts him in striking distance.

I hope he wins!

9. Me too

But can he close that tiny gap? Also on his conference call earlier this week the campaign didn't seem to have a quick response to an African American woman from his district that is convinced there is going to problems for blacks being able to vote/challenges.

11. You can't take polls too seriously.

The best a poll can do is show if a candidate at least has a reasonable chance of winning. So this one is good news.

I hope his campaign has plenty of poll watchers in black precincts.

2. Grrrrrrr. This is not good news. Rob Miller is such a good candidate.

I'm on his email list and I like what they say.

3. Tell us more about SC than anything else.. States send what

mirrors themselves.

4. And I grew up in SC, so I can say this...

5. He picked a terrible year to run

His prospects could be far better in 2012 with presidential level turnout.

After running a losing twice in a row you start to look a little like a gadfly.

6. Also having Alvin Greene at the top of the ticket does not help.

7. It's so absurd isn't it.

Add the nut job witch, Angle, Bachmann and a few others who I want to forget this election is the craziest I've ever seen.

Wilson needs a macaca moment.

8. I'm in SC, and Rob is running a great campaign, truly superior....

But what can you do when you're surrounded by assholes? Assholes that vote.

10. That's the rub eom
