Fight for Senate Control Down to Five States

With six weeks to go, the fight for control of the Senate is down to five states, four of them currently held by Democrats.

Republicans must win only two of those contests to guarantee the 51 seats they need to control the Senate for the last two years of Barack Obama’s presidency. And they need to win only one of the Democratic states if they hold the only GOP seat at serious risk.

While things could still change — and national polls continue to show an environment that may produce a substantial GOP wave in the House and Senate — the Senate battle has boiled down to two reliably red states and three swing states.

Well, 9 points counts as a single digit.

Great article on Gillespie’s campaign and Warner’s potential vulnerability:

Seems to be closing.

Of course that shitebird marxist faux-libertarian Sarvis is back on the ballot for part 2 of his Perot act. I hope someone leaves a flaming bag of poo on his doorstep this Halloween.

Remember Sam Garst?
