SMELLS LIKE TEAM SPIRIT: SEAHAWKS STADIUM LEADING POLLS

          In a "stunning turnaround," Paul Allen's $5M campaign
     for a new Seahawks stadium "appears to be rushing toward
     victory in Tuesday's special election," according to Boren &
     Paulson in today's SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER.  A new poll
     conducted for the Post-Intelligencer and Seattle's KOMO-TV
     by GMA Research Corp. shows that the $425M proposal is
     leading 48-44%, with 8% undecided.  The poll surveyed 800
     "likely voters" from June 7-9.  Boren & Paulson: "The
     numbers do not yet add up to a victory for the new stadium. 
     But they represent a remarkable resurrection for the
     campaign to replace the Kingdome. ... They also demonstrate
     the effectiveness of the massive Allen-financed media blitz
     the Our Team Works campaign has mounted over the last four
     weeks."  Our Team Works, the pro-stadium group, yesterday
     reported receiving $4.8M in contributions from Allen during
     the campaign (SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER, 6/11).
