Soares Leads in Poll, People Want Reform

It looks like all the negative ads by Cusick and Clyne haven't had their desired affect. Although Clyne is pulling support from the Republicans so perhaps the ads are having some affect. Either way the most telling thing is that 66% of the undecided voters says that Reform of the drug laws is "important". If I were funding Cusick or Clyne and saw that number I think I'd stop writing checks. Soares crushed Clyne in the primary, he has a huge lead in the polls, he is offering what the majority of decided and undecided voters want, and he is the Democratic candidate. And this is Albany. Hopefully other politicians will take note of this "surprising victory" after Nov 2nd and we will actually get the Rockerfeller Drug laws reformed. It's what the majority of the people want.
