...Symms has raised an estimated $1.2 million, half of it from out-of-state conservatives. Church has accumulated $1.4 million, most of it from liberals heavily concentrated in New York. While Symms has whittled down Church's early commanding lead and a Republican poll gives him a slight edge, the race is too close to call.

Ford also goofed by urging that the candidates debate; apparently no one had told him that Abdnor, who has a slight speech impediment, has repeatedly refused to do just that...
