Good commentary on and analysis of these races at the site.

Some confirmation out of Illinois for your polls. All are within the margins, but this is after the Dems redistricted in their favor.

Of interest to your list.

Regardless of what happens Downstate, all the Electoral College votes are going to Obama.

That's why Chicago doesn't want Voter ID. They would actually have an honest election, and the concept frightens Democrats.

I’m in Schillings new District (Don Manzullo was gerrymandered out) and have met him a couple of times. Good guy, and I think he’ll pull it out, being virtually tied and with 8% Undecideds. Much will depend on how de-motivated Obama’s voters are, and how well the GOP can GOTV.

This would be a big win, because his opponent Bustos is a personal friend of Dickie Turdbin and I’d love to see this one blow up in his face.

The DNC is seriously worried about the down ballot impact of the Kenyan and Plugs performances. It could easily become a RNC hat trick.

Speaking of Chicago, does anyone know if Oprah has campaigned at all with or for Obama? Just curious to know if even she’s given up on him.
