The new Survey USA poll out today shows that Republican Coors leads Democrat Salazar 51%-46% amongst likely voters in Colorado ...
Wow!
Alaska is going to be close, unfortunatley. Hopefully the pub will pull it out.
They are hyping Alaska like it's close, but it's not. The Dem challenger might get it into single digits (7-9), which would be great for a Dem in Alaska, but they don't have a prayer to win that seat.
Good news. Now, how's Thune doing against (D)a$$hole??
"Good news. Now, how's Thune doing against (D)a$$hole??"
I caution people for reading too much into South Dakota polls. In 2002, Zogby had Thune beating Johnson and he lost. And other polls have been off (remember the landslide Stephanie Herseth was supposed to have?), so I'm not so worried about Daschle's 5 point lead in the latest Mason-Dixon poll. Other polls show him down, and he should be doing far, far better right now than he is.
The latest poll has Daschle up by five points. Last week Thune was up by three. What's up with that ?
The Dems are not going to get Colorado. Bank on it.
I'll drink to Coor's good poll numbers
It will be close.
Different pollsters, different numbers.
Bush is going to take AK, SD and OK big time. The question is can he help these Senate candidates?
I think as we get a week or so out, if we look strong, then GWB will at least make it to SD and OK. Personally I think a little love from the Big Chair will lock those two states up, but who can say for sure?
Certainly Rove knows full well the importance of winning those seats....certainly all 3 are possible GOP wins. Unfortunately only one (SD) would be a pick up...The otehr two are holds. But he knows we need them so look for some resources to be sent in if all is looking good for GWB come late October.
Does anyone agree or disagree?
If it's within 3 points in South Dakota and Bush is up by 8, I'd like to see him there on Sunday evening or Monday morning before the vote on Tuesday.
I expect him to either be in Florida or Ohio on Saturday. A final diversion to South Dakota on Sunday night or Monday morning before heading to Crawford to vote might be enough to move the dial in SD.
I hate to say it but IMHO SD is still a long shot, Dash-hole has been able to pull the "I'm a SD conservative" for several election cycles now.
It would take a week or two to really pin Dash-hole on the judges but that is the area I think that Bush could directly attack him on the weekend before the election.

Well, we need to remember what happened in Colorado in 2002. Most of the polls (except, very interestingly Gallup and SUSA) showed that Senator Allard was dead meat in Colorado. Yet, Governor Owen swept to huge landslide re-election victory and helped carried Allard through by a comfortable margin.
I think this will probably happen in Oklahoma, at least because of President Bush's presence on the ballot. The prez leads by about 30 points in most recent polls and, if that weren't enough, there's a gay marriage ban on the ballot, too, which should help Coburn. I really struggle believing that Carson can pull it off in OK. The same could happen in Alaska where Bush will sweep, too.
South Dakota? Probably. I sure hope so. If Daschle loses, the Senate Democrats are going to run around like chickens with their heads chopped off.
i had forgotten abot the allard win in 02. that was HUGE! and unexpected!
on a related note, owens is hot. i still remember how he beat a "moderate" woman statewide elected official in a swing state to become guv. this was a race tailor made for the D's! they "should" have won it. but owens prevailed...very impressive. were it not for the divorce, i think he would be very very strong in 2008 for pres. my friends tell me, by the way, that he is running for sure. maybe i'm wrong about the divorce. we'll see.
I live in Boulder County CO.,Longmont to be exact. I drove past the Republican Headquarters today and the large Bush/Cheney sign out front had been spray-painted over with the F word. I stopped in to see what they planned to do with it. They said they were going to leave it up for a couple of days to illustrate the kind of mentality that we are up against.
The peaceful and open-minded Libs at it again!
Excellent news. I hope Karl is right about picking up those Senate seats. I hope it is more than four new Republicans in the next Senate !
I'll drink to that.
Boulder is such a lovely groovy peace-nik kind of place, no?
After the trustafarians gave hundreds of thousands to Dean and millions to Kerry, they might be a tad peeved that (insert expletive used for POTUS) is going to win, in spite of them and their "Money is a tool" line.
I hope they put a camera on the next sign & stake it out, to catch the perps.
