Too sanguine. He lists Minnesota, Colorado, and New Jersey as leaning Republican. Minnesota and N.J. are now leaning Dem (no recent polls show Coleman and Forrester leading), and Colorado is still a toss-up (Allard and Strickland tied, both stuck in the low 40's).

Definitely a bunch of "wishful thinking" here... NH is still in play.

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.

Yeah, I agree with you. NJ and Minnesota are now leaning Republican and I expect the GOP to lose Arkansas and Colorado. With the GOP winning South Dakota and Missouri - we are back at a tie.
