The panel is skeptical, as am I, of threats of a third party conservative should Rudy be the nominee. They also reiterate the liklihood of Democrats picking up seats in the Senate. Unfortunately, the numbers make it hard to disagree there, as well.

It doesn't bode terribly well for Supreme Court appointments no matter who wins. This hits home with me since I was fortunate enough to meet Justice Scalia over the weekend, and heard his speech on originalism vs. the "living constitution." This looks to be a tough few years for the constitution.

We are not ready to conceed CO to the Democrats just yet. The US Senate Dem candidate is the US Rep from Boulder which is just about as liberal as CO can get. The GOP candidate is a past US Rep, who signed a pledge to retire after three terms and he did that instead of going against what he promised to do. The Republican is Bob Schaffer and CO will be interesting to see if we Republicans can win again. CO has more Republicans than Democrats but we have not nominated very conservative candidates in the past few years.
