The survey says….

Minnesota Democrats Exposed has posted a memo from the Republican Party showing an 8-percent gap between frontrunner Amy Klobuchar and Mark Kennedy.

I admit, it's a bit of a head-scratcher having a campaign -- or a party -- putting out numbers that show their candidate is behind, but it's been that kind of a campaign.

I don't much trust polls from campaigns or parties but other than Zogby, I can't seem to find any that show a competitive Senate race right now. Apparently, neither can the Republicans. On the other hand, if you were going to cook the numbers, wouldn't you show the race a bit closer?

And they can't very well hold Zogby up as a legitimate poll (even though I still contend it is) since both the Kennedy camp and the GOP (and my pals in the blogosphere) have ripped me good for citing it during the present campaign.
