Charlie Cook also said the race was very tight, and close to dead even because of the possibly very high minority turnout. He said he felt very nervous about the race. He also said NC was dead even a week ago, but since then Dole has pulled away a bit. Everybody on the panel thought Allard was dead meat, which doesn't surprise me. He was a terrible candidate. There were disagreements among the gurus on Georgia and SD. Hutchinson and Forrester were also put into the dead meat category. NH wasn't discussed.

As for minority turnout, it's not there. Kirk is running as Republican-lite which is hardly inspiring. Sanchez hasn't energized the hispanic vote as planned; he's going down in flames.
I don't think the Texas senate race is seriously in play.

I'm sorry, the Houston Chronicle shows Cornyn with a 6 pt lead, not 8.
