I think Gizzi is a little optimistic but in line with possibile election outcomes on Nov. 2. I am skeptical about his belief that David Vitter will win in LA though it is nearly certain that Vitter will poll more than 40 percent in the Nov. 2 senatorial "primary" in LA. I still think Breaux-Landrieu-Blanco will put Chris John over the top in the Dec. 4 "general election."

I was not even aware that Bayh, Mikulski, Leahy, and some of the others were even on the ballot this year. The GOP gave many a free pass, but the Democrats contest most offices that they can.

We're gonna pick up 4 then, because we arn't going to lose Colorado.

I would switch LA and CO. I think Coors will win but Vitter will not get 50%+ and will not win the special election. Too bad.

I think there's still a chance for Coors to pull it out. Would require good GOP turnout, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wins.

Many of the poor and dispossessed in LA are "afraid" that Vitter will take food out of their mouths and will stick with the Chris John school of politics!

Just as well throw in South Dakota and make it 5.

The Democrat in this race is, of course, trying to take advantage of the Republican on the gay issue. They are shameless. The Democrat's strategy may be working with Gizzi; but, voters warm up to quasi-libertarian Republicans. The overwhelmingly majority of Americans actually think it is possible to treat all people with dignity AND uphold the family. Remember, Coors did unexpectedly well in the Republican primary, even compared to the last minute polls. He's already even with the Democrat in the polls, and can carry this state if we stand together. Don't let the Democrats split us up by playing the gay card

Pete Coors should announce a "keg party" for the entire state if he wins..

Gizzi has no idea what's happening in Colorado. Our GOTV effort was shockingly effective in 2002 and we have three times as many volunteers this year. Coors GOTV in the primary is going to be in the 'how to run a campaign' textbooks for the next 20 years. Our internal polls are just fine. And, as long as we are even on election day, we will win by 5-6 points .

The GOP got a big old ground game going this year. Think 2002 off-season surprise. This year it is better....

If that's the case, I'd rather kick Chafee out and make it 4.

I pray that the good people of South Dakota will realize that, even though Daschle's clout may be good for bringing $$$ to their state, he is a huge hindrance to America as a whole. His hateful and obstructionist ways have been very hurtful to us as a nation.

People in MD would devote a holiday to Mikulski if given the chance.

No, people in Prince George's County, Montgomery County, and Baltimore City would devote a holiday to her. The rest of us can't stand her.

By the way, E. J. Pipkin would make a great senator. He's the anti-Mikulski, a man who is right on just about every issue.

In Alaska both parties are accusing the other of failure in ANWR. Gov Murkowski is taking govern type action to get the state into ownership of the TransAlaska Natural Gas Pipeline, which may encourage building it, and to allow slant drilling under ANWR. This may make the points moot although gov't ownership of the projects are questionable on ideological grounds. Sen Murkowski and Tony Knowles are dead even, not a trend for the Rs.

You work for the Coors campaign?

Anyhow, yah, I agree. the GOP GOTV machine will push Coors over the top. Coors is either ahead or within the margin anyway, Allard was supposedly behind by like 6pts going into the election in 2002 and he won easy.
