LOL ... Ted R, you are ever the pessimist!!
"I would be unable to call winners at all in OK (leans Coburn?), CO (leans Salazar?), SC (still leans DeMint?) and FL (tossup, hopeful for Martinez)."
Tradesports have all of the above as favored GOP wins.
latest poll has Coburn up 6 points - it's over, he'll win on 60% Bush coattails and 'club for growth' help.
FL is scary poll-wise, but imho they underpoll the GOP, Martinez will win in a close race. AND BUSH WILL TAKE FL.
SC a near shoo-in, one of those Liberal wet-dreams like Ron Kirk in Texas - wont happen.
CO close but Coors is up there too. He'll win just as Allard won 2 years ago.
And Bunning? gimme a break. the dems spread pathetic lies and actually think it means something.
last, Vitter *will* win LA, either on the main day or the runoff.
What do you think about South Dakota?
A big "thank you" to Bill Owens and the GOP "losership" here in CO for undermining a solid conservative, Bob Schaffer, in favor of a political neophyte based on nothing other than name recognition.
Ken Salazar comes across as just what he is: a moderate, centrist Democrat. Pretty much Ben "Nighthorse" Campbell with a Hispanic lineage rather than Native American.
Not to be a pessimist, but I honestly think that Salazar is going to win this one.
