Typically in Southern states when a black Democrat takes on a white Republican in a major statewide race, the undecided white vote tends to break strongly for the white Republican candidate. But it's been a number of years (since the last serious black candidacy in the South) and attitudes may have changed.

You get that? All Southerners are bunch of racists..... BTW, I am a brown Asian, and I lived 3 years in Kentucky. Loved the South!

Corker won. It is over. Now if we could get Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Missouri over to our side that would be helpful.

No doubt we should. But, you did not get the memo of complacency and turnout in TN?

I'm hoping this will be the case in many other races, also. I've never trusted polls, and in this election, the media bias is more blatant than ever, and that's saying something.

"If the Republicans can win both, they'll have a 50-50 tie"

Is this guy saying that he believes that Lieberman is going to lose? I can't get behind a pollster who can't do basic math or call a lead pipe cinch.

The real bigots are the elitist leftwingers who think any American in 'heartland America' is an uneducated inbred racist 'hick'. I'm guessing they are 0 for 4 with you. :-)
Cheers.

Great news about Corker, I'm just hoping the other races have moved up too. (dont want to look at polls, my nerves are shot over them!)

I saw Ford on Hannity and Colmes last night and Colmes was interviewing Ford as though he was a Republican, he hit him on abortion, religion and something else, and then asked him if he was going to caucus with the Democrats if he won. Ford didn't back down, but said yes, he would always be a Democrat. So, maybe the angry left won't be voting in that race.

"God is a democrat" won't fly in Tennessee

Neither will "Kerry apologized - Rush didn't - Let's move on...." (an outright lie about Kerry)

Arrogance on his face and in his voice on H&C

Watch the pollsters suddenly "discover" that Republicans are "surging" as we close on the elections and they realize their fake polls didn't work to get Democrats elected, so they have to tell the truth to save their reputations.

Zogby says Corker is winning? Uh-oh . . . That's sort of like having Dick Morris predict you will win. I hope Zogby is actually right for once.

"Tennessee and Virginia are going to be the two states that, right now, are going to control the outcome in the Senate. If the Republicans can win both, they'll have a 50-50 tie and Vice President [Dick] Cheney breaks the tie. But if they lose one or the other, it looks like chances are pretty good they'll lose control of the Senate," J. Brad Coker, managing director of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, told Knoxville.com.

Is that intended to be a serious analysis? Evidently, Mr. Coker believes that (1) the Dems will hold NJ and MD (which could happen--but is far from guaranteed); (2) that the Dems will score pickups in PA, OH, and RI (which seems like a reasonable projection); and (3) that the Dems will also engineer takeaways in MO and MT.

It is that last part that leaves me a bit bewildered. One does not need to be a cheerleader for the GOP to observe that it seems a bit premature to assume a victory for McCaskill in MO; every serious analyst I have seen puts this one squarely in the tossup category.

As for MT, Burns is clearly not the most eloquent speaker ever to come down the pike--and his former ties to Jack Abrahamoff have certainly been of no help--but the momentum does appear to be going Burns' way. This is likely to be the upset of the evening in the Senate. At the very least, the race is highly competitive; yet Mr. Coker seems to have decided that Tester's triumph is a foregone conclusion.

Perhaps Mr. Coker has simply bought into the "Democratic tsunami" narrative. That is the only explanation I can come up with for his numbers.

No, he is saying that Lieberman, who will be elected as an Independent, and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who will be elected as a Socialist, will both caucus with the Democrats. Because they will.
