John Tierney, You Know You’re in Trouble When…

John Tierney, you know you’re in trouble when…

… you push back with a four month old poll. Yesterday it was reported that a new poll shows John Tierney losing his race by 7 points. Tierney’s response? A campaign aide pushed back with their own poll… from January. Here and here.

… a highly respected political analyst says your opponent could be your “worst nightmare.” Last night WBZ-TV CBS Boston political analyst Jon Keller filed this report highlighting just how vulnerable John Tierney is this year.

… another expert says your seat is a ‘very reasonable takeover opportunity’ for Republicans. Last week, non-partisan and widely respected political analyst, Stu Rothenberg wrote that John Tierney’s district is a ‘very reasonable takeover opportunity’ for Republicans in November. As Rothenberg noted, Republicans have some “interesting opportunities in unusual places,” which includes this district north of Boston.

NRCC Comment: “John Tierney’s outdated poll numbers and tone deaf partisan rhetoric show just how badly his campaign is taking on water. Tierney still refuses to answer the questions voters want to know about his family’s gambling empire and experts are increasingly in agreement – John Tierney’s reelection chances are sinking.” – NRCC Spokesman Nat Sillin
