Very hopeful. We need just a little edge to take this seat.

This is very disappointing. I had figured that Louisiana was about the only chance for a GOP pickup to offset the expected GOP losses.

This is the one possible bright spot among the Senate races this year, it looks like.

Insanity. Elect the loser who was partly responsible for the failed response in New Orleans. We are now LBJ’s vision of the “New Society.” But it is the “New Welfare State.”

Looks like the Lousiana voters simply don’t learn.

Let not your heart be troubled. An incumbent senator only leading a relatively unknown challenger this early in the campaign by 3 percentage points is very promising. The campaign has not even begun yet. I do remain cautiously optimistic.

However, let’s hope the Louisiana Republican don’t screw this one up.

I agree on this one. What model of LA population are they using for construct their sample? Only after the 2010 census will we have a reasonable idea who the voters of LA are post Katrina.

I see it's now summer and "Republican" John Kennedy STILL has yet to list a single issue position his website. Kinda like the RINO nominee we have in Illinois, Kennedy's entire campaign is based on "I'm not the incumbant". He honestly must be the only major party candidate in a highly cotested U.S. Senate race right now who has NO issue positions.

Perhaps it's easier to say nothing than explain to the voters how he woke up one day and suddenly had heartfelt Republican "values" after running to the left of the Chris John a few years ago. Pretty sad that this craven opporunist is our "best shot" at defeating an sitting RAT Senator right now.

More than ever, this shows conservatives should be backing Paul Hollis for the seat, an actual consistant conservative Republican with extensive policy positions to prove it.

I suppose all the freepers cheering on John Kennedy will be "shocked" when he "betrays" them in office and do the usual "gee whiz, we had NO idea he was like that" denial , just like the Mel Martinez cheerleading squad did here despite that it was PROVEN during the primary that Martinez's political career showed he was an "former" leftist trial lawyer who had NO principles and did the bidding of whoever was in power at the time (not to mention the fact he was a hand-picked Bush sock puppet and Bush's position on amnesty was well known in 2004).

The Arnoldbots are even worse with their selective amnesia causing them to forget the dozens of threads that documented how Arnie was NOT the "fiscal conservative" he purported to be during his race against Tom McClintock.

Oh well, let threads like this serve as evidence. This time you guys can't pretend you weren't warned.

Too early to tell yet but this is close enough for a win later. I think the so called blood bath for Republicans is overstated but the silver lining may be that we get rid of the RINOs. We look to loose Dole in NC but thats not a great loss.

As your NW Indiana neighbor, I didn't even realize the republican party had a nominee over in Illinois.

I have a distrust for party switchers. Is he a RINO or is he a Conservative? I think that he is just another opertunist, professional politician. Why can’t we get good “conservative” candidates.

I’ve never liked her. I always thought that she was as big an opportunist as Hillary Clinton, just not so up-front about it.

Didn’t she replace Jesse Helms?

Right now (it’s early) this poll is just name recognition.

If an incumbant is not over % this is usually trouble.
