The coverage of this race is constantly linked to the race in Connecticut. The claim is that they parties the development in Connnecticut counterbalances the development in North Dakota.
Yes, I noticed that's the goofy MSM and 'Rat spin. According to their strange logic, two incumbent Dem senators choose not to run for re-election, leaving two open previously Democratic seats. Now, as they see it, if the 'Rats keep one and lose the other, they cancel each other out. But as we see it - if that was the result - it's a net +1 for the GOP and -1 for the 'Rats. In addition, there's still a possibility that the national tide will be so strongly anti-'Rat that CT will be a GOP pickup even without Dodd in the race.
