This is great, but I’m a bit concerned over the reports that Feingold has closed the gap. Anyone have a feel for what’s going on there?

Every week we hear about the 'silver lining' in the polls showing that the Democrats are going to lose big in Nov.

Talk about wishful thinking!

They must be doing some fuzzy math to have Obama at 49%approval rating.

I am crossing my fingers for not another “Dewey defeats Truman” headline on Nov 3rd morning.

Encourage every one in your circle of friends and
relatives to be sure to vote! Polls do not win elections.
Turnout is the deciding factor.

The dimensions of this year's Republican sweep are only beginning to become apparent.

Turnout, Not Polling, Will Determine 2010 Outcome

EXCERPT The danger here is not overconfidence but underconfidence, and that Democratic incumbents who could be defeated will skate to victories. Despite a massive victory in the offing for Republicans, there could be great gnashing of teeth when they see how narrowly some of the icons of the Democratic Party are re-elected.

While groups like Karl Rove's American Crossroads, Americans for Prosperity, 60+ and the National Republican Congressional Committee are pouring their resources into the same 60 districts, there are 40 more out there where they could pick up seats. These groups may just be adding to their margins in the 60 and ignoring the potential for victory in the other 40. I am working with superpacusa.com to focus on the outer 40, but few other groups are aimed at these targets.

Going after the more distant Democratic targets will also force the Democratic Party to pull its money out of the more marginal races as newly endangered — and very influential — Democrats start demanding help in fending off new GOP challenges. Already evidence indicates that some of the Democratic lions are in jeopardy.

South Carolina's John Spratt, chairman of the House Budget Committee and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell are both trailing their Republican challengers. Even House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Banking Committee Chairman Barney Frank might be within reach.

Our candidates need to win by 4-5 percentage point just to overcome the fraud we all know will be there.

It's already started.
