Fall of Ralph Watch.

According to a new poll out today in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Ralph Reed is dragging down the (Gov) Perdue (Lt.Gov) Reed ticket by 8 points among likely voters.

Actually, as long as we’re on the topic. I’m trying to think of the list of pols whose careers appear to be ending or near ending as a result of the Abramoff scandal.

So far I’ve got Ralph Reed, Conrad Burns, Katherine Harris and Bob Ney. Tom DeLay is another obvious contender. But that’s muddled by the fact that his own independent crimes appear to have brought him down first. Who am I not thinking of?

Late Update: Okay, my bad. This is an occupational danger of tracking all the various threads of GOP criminality. It’s the Duke Cunningham scandal, not the Abramoff scandal, that seems to be putting the nail in Katherine Harris’ political coffin.
