Time For A New Senate Rundown
With only 5 days left to go, I thought it would be a good time to take another look at the Senate and where things stand.
Tennessee - The Ford campaign seems to have petered out following his disasterous attempt to crash a Corker press conference. This seat is pretty safe Republican now.
New Jersey - Kean has been unable to capitalize on Menendez’s corruption problems. Not a huge surprise given the area. This seat will most likely stay Democrat.
Montana - Once written off by the NRSC, this race has come back into play. Tester (D) still seems to have the edge, but polls are consistently putting Burns within a few points.
Maryland - There hasn’t been any polling since Steele picked up major endorsements from local Democratic leaders and it’s unclear what effect, if any, they may have on the race. He’s within reach in this heavily blue state, but the odds are against him.
Virginia - Allen may actually be in trouble in this usually red state. Running what both Republican and Democrat insiders called the worst campaign of the year, Allen may be on the verge of losing this crucial state.
Missouri - This race is a dead heat. Though the ongoing fraud investigations, and the possibility of ACORN submitting 35,000 potentially fraudelent registrations will raise serious questions if Democrat McCaskill, whose campaign benefited from illegal ACORN activism, manages to win.
Pennsylvania - Oft maligned conservative Rick Santorum is down, but not out. Polls have shown him crawling back, and a strong on the ground campaign may be able to turnout supporters above the level pollsters are predicting.
Rhode Island, Washington, Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan all look to be easy Democrat wins.
