A much different picture than just a few days ago when many pollsters were expecting the 'Rats to pick up anywhere from +1 to +3 senate seats. Now it appears that the worse case scenario is for the GOP to pick up +1 (not including the almost certain run-off in LA). Personally, I think +5 (including LA) is within our grasp. I think Mondale can be beat in MN. I think Allard can pull it out in CO and that Hume will win SD. Chambliss has an excellent shot in GA. Sununu now seems safe in NH. And it is certainly within the realm of possibility for Forrester and Hutchinson to pull off major upsets in NJ and AR, but even if that is not the case, the GOP can still have a very good night. All we have to do is get out there and make it happen!
The three governor races I am really watching is Massachusetts, New York and California. It appears that Romney could very well be a big winner tomorrow night. He has a lot of momentum here in Massachusetts and his advertising has finally gotten aggressive and is successfully painting his opponent Shannon O'Brien as the tax and spending hack that she is. Guiliani came into town tonight for Romney and there was a big rally in the North End of Boston. Huge crowds! As well, there are Romney lawn signs everywhere in suburbia with nary an O'Brien sign to be seen.
In New York, I would love to see Golisamo come in second and relegate the 'Rats to the third space on the ballot. (Pataki is a shoo-in.)
In California, it would be the frosting on the cake if Simon can pull it off. But if the GOP gets the senate and Romney wins in Massachusetts, my night will already be made!
