The Pundit Press Editorial Board has just projected Senator Dan Coats (R) the winner in Indiana's Senatorial election to replace the retiring Evan Bayh. Coats previously served two terms in the 1990's, after he was appointed to replace then-Senator Ben Quayle after the Bush-Quayle ticket routed the Democratic opposition in the 1988 Presidential election.

Considered it didn’t take them long to announce, that means it’s going to be a very bad, bad night for the Dem’s.
What’s the call based on?
With <1% of Precincts reporting:
Senator Dan Coats (R) - 49.9%
Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D) - 45.5%
It has not been called yet officially has it? What tv show? Fox News or CNN has not called them yet. In fact, they have it at 1 percent so far.
“Pundit Press”? hmmm
woo hoo!
Excellent!
EXIT POLLS:
IL 49-43 Kirk [R] ... KY 55-44 Paul [R] ... NV TIED...
Arkansas: Boozman (R) over Lincoln (D)
Ohio: Portman (R) over Fisher (D)
North Dakota: Hoeven (R) over Potter (D)
Wisconsin: Johnson (R) over Feingold (D)
FROM DrudgeReport
Coats has been up by over 10% but since official polls don’t end until 8:00 pm they can’t call it yet (it’s straddling two time zones)
How can they make a prediction like that with 2 hours left at the polls?
CNN- INDIANA SENATE: Coats-R 50% (7,083 votes), Ellsworth-D 45% (6,455 votes).
Every silver lining has a dark cloud attached to it.
1 down 9 to go.
Early polls look like Indiana is picking up quite a few Republicans.
I don’t like seeing that NV Tied in Exit.
“Pundit Press” what happens when a RINO falls over on another RINO.
With 13,000 votes the error is:
1/sqrt(13000) < 1%
and Coats is winning by 5%.
So he’s a shoe-in ... if the 13,000+ votes collected so far are representative of the state as a whole. If they are overly Republican then he could be toast. If they are overly Democrat then he might go on to win in a landslide.
