In an e-blast from the David Harmer for Congress campaign, Kristin Heuter, Finance Director for Harmer claims the Republican candidate leads Democrat John Garamendi, according to recent polling.
The mailing claims:
- As of Monday, Sept. 28th David Harmer has just pulled dead even with his opponent. Generic ballot has shifted dramatically to 40% Republican, 44% Democratic, as compared to 29% Republican, 52% Democratic in August. When adjusted for likely turnout that ballot number moves to dead even.
- John Garamendi is carrying a significant 30% negative in this District, evidence of a damaging primary election.
- Among those voters who have heard of both candidates, Harmer is winning by a substantial 49% to 32% for Garamendi. This means, if Harmer gets his message out, he wins by a comfortable margin.
- Harmer is also leading among Decline-to-State voters by a margin of 40% for Harmer, 26% for Garamendi.

My name is Bernie Madoff, and if you’re a Republican or know one, I will double you money by November 3!
Harmer was on KSFO this morning and he said he was only 2 points behind Garamendi. What’s up with that?
You are supposed to share the e-mail. This is what the Internet is for. Little girl “she said he said” claims ought to be bolstered with primary documents.
LOL above says 25 points. You say double digits. If I were a gambling man I’d take 10 points.
Comically, any loss below 20 points, Del Beccaro and company will claim as a stunning victory for the party and the brilliant leader.
Poor David.
Harmer is sending out email stating that he is now down by 7 points. He will lose by double digits. Take it to the Bank!
I’ll take those points!
LOL…Harmer is a tool. He will lose by at least 25 points.
Now Now. Seriously! No need to get catty. Please don’t blame Alyane for my pathetic photographic skills. Afterall, it was an iPhone pic with iffy lighting.
Who’s the bottle blond in the photo? She needs to touch up those roots. Badly.
Wasn’t the ‘Harmer camp’ telling us just a few weeks ago their man was going to take it all on Sept. 1? TDGB and Caporusso must need more $$.
Anyone who believes this believes in Magic and Unicorns.
