Just saw it a little while ago on MSNBC. Lincoln Chafee, according to a new McClatchy poll, leads Sheldon Whitehouse (D) by 1%, 46% to 45%.
Darn, I wanted to lose this one. Can you imagine the agony of having a 50/50 Senate (which is the only reason to have Chafee) and then see him switch sides. Better to be rid of him AND hold the Senate anyway. Maybe our candidate in '08 will be smart enough to support someone like Laffey.

Kyl is ahead by 7%.

Kyl has no chance of losing.

Steele is virtually tied with Ben Cardin (D). 47 to 44%

Steele will win as Blacks who don't admit voting for him because he is black outnumber whites who don't vote for him because he is black. He will run 5 points ahead of polls, and get a good chunk of black votes. Only hope for Dems is massive voter fraud. Burns has made a major comeback and is now tied with Democrat Jon Tester.

Burns will win by a few. Montanans, like GOPers around the nation, are only focusing on the race these past few weeks, and they are not going to send Fester Bestertester to the Senate.

Corker is ahead by 12%.

Corker was never in trouble, that was all manufactured by the MSM.

Webb and Allen are tied.

That's a load of macaca. Allen by 5. It would be 10, but his reaction to being attacked was to emulate a deer in the headlights instead of a strong leader. Webb is a weird dude and by now everyone knows it. Allen has lost his chance to advance to national office, though.

Talent will win by 4 or 5, enough to overcome St. Louis voter fraud.

Santorum and Dewine still have a chance, but I am not counting on them. If they win, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Final tally: GOP minimum is 52, max is 56. I predict 53 and a loss of Chafee, which is a net loss of only one, since I don't count Chafee as on our side. The MSM will be apoplectic.

I'll take it ... Media will be maximally apoplectic if Santorum pulls out an upset, an outcome to be devoutly wished for!

IT'S THE JUDGES, STUPID!

Didn't we already have that 50/50 and yet, Chafee didn't switch party despite strong efforts by Dims to persuade him? I know he's a liberal. But he has consistently voted for Republican leaderships in the senate. Unless we want to have Senate Judiciary Chairman, Pat Leahy, I prefer Chafee win.
