I agree on Illinois. And I would not write off Nethercutt in Washington State.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Nethercutt has a snowballs chance in H--- to win this one. I am neighbors with Patty and she is a screwball, but Murray is tolerated by the Capital Hill/Queen Anne nuts. Washington is trending more and more leftist...
As for NC, a poll just came out that has Bowles ahead of Burr. All the numbers before had Burr running away with this. Any NC posters have a take on this?
