  1. Looks promising. I think if there’s one state where the convention wisdom that undecideds would move en masse to the challenger holds true its KY.

    In Mississippi, we have to get the African-American vote up to 39-40%, otherwise Wicker will win.

    I stated earlier that I think Gordon Smith has already lost and I think the early voting numbers sugggest that’s the case.

    The polls have shown the MN race to be all over the place recently. I think the combination of Obama, same day registration and the timing of this clothing scandal should be enough to take Franken over the top.

  2. While we have been focusing so heavily on Martin and GA, I really think our path to 60 has a possibility with Lunsford.  I’d rather have Martin in the Senate but this run-off business does not bode well.  Good numbers for Lunsford, let’s hope he pulls it off.

    I don’t foresee us winning MS.  However, I’m sure plenty of people will be heading to the polls not knowing who to vote in the Senate race and then since party id wont be on the ballot, I’d hope Musgrove has the better name id and should get the vote, hopefully.

  3. We win OR and NC and lose MS and KY. MN’s the tossup but Franken’s closing strongly and the Democrats are running home. Barkley is hurting Coleman. That’s what I’m seeing canvassing in Minnesota. I think we’re going to pull this out.  

  4. Should Georgia go to runoff, I think it would help matters to get to 60 on election night.  It would completely negate the “stop the Democrat [sic] monopology on power” argument as we would already have that monopology and would strengthen our “Who would best be able to get things done for Georgia” argument: a Senator from an almost powerless party or one from the party in control of both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue.

  6. I know Inouye and Stevens are friends, but this is shameful.  Stevens has been convicted on every single count and is now a felon.  So not only does Inouye still believe he’s innocent, he thinks the guy will get re-elected?!?!?!  Shame on Senator Inouye for this.

    Dem. Inouye: Stevens will return

    ANCHORAGE-In an unusual move, one of the Senate’s most senior Democrats is lending his name to the embattled reelection bid of its longest-serving Republican.

    Hawaii’s Daniel K. Inouye, a Democrat, in a statement issued by the campaign of Alaska’s Ted Stevens, a Republican and longtime friend, answers criticism from Stevens’ Democratic opponent and predicts Stevens will win reelection Tuesday and later be exonerated on an appeal of last week’s verdict finding him guilty of hiding gifts.
