Based on our Enzi/Cheney numbers so far I think the Harper Poll might have been a little charitable...to Cheney #bloodbath

A previous poll from the GOP firm Harper Polling showed Enzi way ahead of Cheney among primary voters, by a margin of 55-21 percent. And Republicans have been quick to denounce her run as carpetbagging, among other things.
