TO THIS POINT, IT'S NO CONTEST. A NEW POLL BY POLITICAL BLOGGER JOE MONAHAN SHOWS MAYOR RICHARD BERRY BEATING HIS MAIN OPPONENT, PETE DINELLI, BY A 3-1 MARGIN, WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN A MONTH TO GO IN THE RACE. MONAHAN TELLS 770 KKOB BERRY HAS 56 PERCENT SUPPORT.
MONAHAN SAYS DINELLI HAS 19 PERCENT, LEAVING HIM WITH ONLY ONE HOPE: THAT HIS TV AND OTHER EFFORTS IN THE FINAL MONTHS ARE EFFECTIVE, HE'LL WORK TO HOLD BERRY UNDER 50 PERCENT SUPPORT AT THE POLLS, FORCING A RUNOFF ELECTION. IF THERE IS A RUNOFF, IT WOULD BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 19TH.
A THIRD CANDIDATE IN THE RACE, FORMER COP PAUL HEH, GOT 4-PERCENT SUPPORT IN THE MAYORAL POLL.
