A new poll paid for by the Defenders of Wildlife (and performed by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner) has Pombo trailing to both Filson and McNerney. (Kinda blows that electability claim out of the water, doesn't it). (Hat-tip to McNerney Blog)

And generally, people prefer ANYBODY else over Pombo 52-35-18. That's down from (37-46-18). That anybody else character is a great candidate, eh Rich?
At this point the people of CA-11 want to get rid of Pombo, no matter who the candidate was. Jerry McNerney took a stand 2 years ago to run against Pombo when nobody else wanted to. Jerry is the true progressive in this race. If we are going to win anyway, let's look to the guy who has supported the grassroots of the party.
Now, I'm not saying that this seat is in the bag, I know Pombo is going to come out swinging with all of the cash that he has accumulated while in Congress. But Jerry will have the support of the people of CA-11. Who do you beleive in?
