[The Person]

One striking thing about watching the MN numbers is that they are VERY consistent. It looks honest, no big jumps, no big strategic withholding. The consistency of this looks very good for the Repubs in MN.

OK, I'm calling it a night. If anyone else wants to continue the updates:

Thune/Johnson race

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Thune is creeping toward a 3,000 vote margin. That would put +3 in the bag (and +5-8 in the House to boot). And LA can still get us one more...

That's a little tiny bit better than the -30 historical average in an off-year election (and we had to win 20-14 60% in the Senate just to break even, so what this means is that we may win the Senate races 24-10, or at least 23-11, in a year we were supposed to lose big).

That's a bigger win than '94 in my book.

Hope Dick Morris and John Zogby are too embarrassed to show their faces for a few years...nah, that's hoping for too much.
