And not surprising, Arlen Specter has been the invisible man in this campaign. For some reason, Santorum campaigned his ass off for Specter last time, but Specter is nowhere to be found now. ...
NOT TRUE!
Toomey has done a radio commercial and probably more that I don't know.
Specter has done everything he could to help Rick. He has made calls, written opeds, raised money, held fundraisers, spoken to group after group, taped ads, gone on talk radio, on tv and everyplace else he could go to make sure Santorum is reelected.

I don't know, the democrats and the Washington Post put an all-out blitz on the guy, and he didn't help himself with his campaign.

In VA we have been treated to a ton of cheap political ads that have turned people off. Allen has done a pretty poor job of convincing people he's their man even after the success he had as governor. That the media has teamed up with Webb to take Allen out of office has hurt Allen tremendously. This state has gone democrat for the State House for the past few elections and NOVA is overrun with demorats. I think Webb takes it by a nose unfortunately.

..but out in the real world (outside the Beltway), I am sure that the Dems will come up short.
Hey, I even think Chris Shays is going to make it.

Chafee should lose, he will defect to the Democrats so fast that Mitch McConnell's head will spin if it comes down to it.

Only if it makes a difference. If we keep a strong majority he can't do anything but stay where he is, Rino hell.

Old George has not run a good campaign in a state that has been trending Blue. If he wins (which I am inclined to think not at this point) then he does it by a hair.

The Marriage referendum in Virginia will put Allen over the top. The Christians will be out to vote for the amendment in Virginia banning gay marriages. This is what will save Allen. I have thought this all along, yet there has been very little mention of it. Evangelicals will be voting in force with this amendment on the ballot.
To: Popman
Can someone explain to me why Santorum is so far behind? Two words: Pat Toomey
Rick's support base collapsed after that fiasco and has never fully recovered.
To: NittanyLion
Prop 2 - yes
Prop 5 - no ??

Lincoln Chafee has pulled even in the polls. It puts RI conservatives in the ironic position of helping reelect someone they're reluctant to have supported in the first place.

Worst sign for Republicans? Another poll showing Virginia nearly tied, M-D showing Webb by 1. It's gonna be a close race, and from my mailbag, the NoVa Democrats are fired up. Allen had better hope his get-out-the-vote effort works a heck of a lot better than the rest of his campaign has worked so far.If the Pubbies across the river are doing what we are doing here in Maryland Allen will prevail handily. I was so impressed today by the folks around me and those managing GOTV effort for Erlich and Steele. It's an honor and a joy to be part of it.

M-D has Missouri close (surprise) but the trend is interesting, from McCaskill up 3 late last month to up 1. I'm hearing that Talent's internal numbers are fantastic - for whatever that's worth - and that the cloning referendum has the GOP base revved. That may be the only good thing about the cloning ref, but we are optomistic.

Let's not forget that we can thank the MSM for much of this, since it's them that's being feeding Harold's ego by treating him as if he's already won the 2012 presidential election.That was before they discovered Obama. "The MSM giveth and the MSM taketh away."

I think Allen holds on; with the WAPO ombudsperson today stating that they now admit they have been unfair to Allen, that may (or may not) have an impact. I'm sticking with my original, no change in numbers in the seante...a few face changes, but we will still have a 55-45 majority. I think we keep the house as well, but the margin is only 2 or 3 seats. Punch Foley for Joe is really working in that district and I think pubbies hold there, despite the dem/press attempts to steal it away.

This and the ABC poll actually have me slightly concerned. Yes, there is some good news for the GOP in both, however by reporting it accurately this could stimulate the otherwise apathetic democrat base (at least I've read a few places that the democrat base isn't anywhere near as fired up as the MSM would lead us to believe). I'd rather have the dismal outlook reported straight through Tuesday just to help keep the dems at home.
To: Oakleaf
Actually, these have always been the numbers...we've or they have been looking at nothing but SKEWED NUMBERS BY THE RAT CROWD. They've been trying to convince Republicans they can't win so why vote. This tactic is actually done more good for the Republicans...with those lies being put out there by the rats...early voting has brought out HERDS OF REPUBLICANS to VOTE. On Nov. 7th...there'll again be HERDS OF REPUBLICANS voting.
WE, REBPUBLICANS WIN, the dems lose again.

Wall Street (Barron's) predicts holding the house by 1 and losing 2 in the Senate.I trust Barron more than anyone else on the planet. Do you have a link or something where I can see his predictions?

I may be in incorrect on this one, but I seem to remember in previous elections when Rep. are down about 2 to 3 pts in congressional pref. polls we actually pick up seats. Pollsters can be wrong for 6 months but when they publish their accuracy of results it's only the final polls that matter.
To: Laverne
We hold the Senate by 52-48 but lose the House. Given my druthers I would rather hold the Senate simply due to judicial nominations.
