Texas, Colorado, New Jersey, Minnesota, Arkansas, South Dakota, all seem within the Democrats reach. Perception of a lack of Republican interest in America (it really is the economy) and a fixation on foreign interventionalism doesn't help the GOP.

Of course, the Democrats have ignored the economy until now and taken the losing side on the Iraq issue (this squandering valuable campaigning time.)

Maybe the big demonstrations planned by the green-peace-labor-democratic-peoples-front-movement this Saturday will make a difference one war or the other.

I disagree. He marks Texas as Safe Republican, and I'm betting you will see a major sub-story on election night. I don't think he'll get 40%, and I'm betting the Libs actually make some headlines at his expense.

Don't sweat Texas. Its a statewide Pubbie sweep except for possibly the lite guv. race. The State House will go GOP for the first time and the Senate will greatly improve its GOP majority.
