Unfortunately the Daily Currant is satirical, like the Onion.

I kind of figured, one can still hope...

Speaking of Bachmann, apparently she is considering leaving Minnesota over gay marriage.

If I were a Minnesotan, I don't know which I'd be happier about as a gay person, gay marriage or the prospect of Bachmann leaving .

WBUR poll shows Brown with 58% approval and leading Dem Congressmen by 17 points.

If we have to go through this again, Begich and Landrieu had better win their states.

Just keep in mind that Warren started out at a similar disadvantage IIRC.

The thing with Niagara County is you have the city of Niagara Falls which is heavily black and votes like any other minority-majority city, then you have some democratic leaning suburbs of Buffalo (ie. North Tonawanda and Lockport), some cute wine country towns like Lewiston, which if I had to guess are also Democratic learning, the incredibly wealthy Escarpment area which again, I assume is slightly Democratic leaning, and then the rest of the county is farm country which is heavily Republican.  All of this makes for a very polarized county which doesn't budge from election to election.

The Republican senate candidates also lost in both Mitt and Ryan's home states.

The Democrats really need her to win.  It would look really bad if we didn't have any female governors.

Virginia President
Obama- 51%
Romney- 47%

1. Wisconsin- A Tammy Baldwin win would be a historic win on so many levels.  In addition, it would help put a hold on the narrative that Scott Walker has made Wisconsin a safe GOP state.  Her voice is needed in the Senate. And Tommy Thompson is one person whose career I would love to see end because he was just too lazy to run a good campaign in a race that should have been his.  

2. New Mexico- Martin Heinrich seems like he's someone that could have a bright future in the Democratic party.  I would certainly like to see where he goes.  

3.  Missouri- I moved from New York to Missouri to go to medical school and have lived in the state for a couple of years now.  I never particularly liked Claire... she always came across as to populist and as an old school kind of Democrat for me.  However, I saw her speak when she came to my University and she really changed my opinion of her.  In addition, the idea of having a Senator Akin just makes me slightly nauseous.

Runner ups: Massachusetts & Ohio.

I'm calling BS. I hope I'm wrong, but this is a load of malarkey.

There is now a photo of Obama underneath the sex scandal headline...

I noticed that too, but if you look at the other story with at photo corresponding to it (of DiF), the photo corresponds with the link below the picture.

Obama - Christie?

There are somethings that I cannot unimagine... and that is one of them. Thank you.

CO looks ok so far for Obama.

Remember that the final early vote in 2010 was R+6 and Bennet won by 1.

In 2008, the final early vote was D+1.5 and Obama won by 9.

Currently it's R+3 in the early vote. Which would point to a Obama 3-4% winning margin.

Remember that CO Indies are an Obama-leaning folk.

I'd just made my own thread before noticing this...why do Colorado Republicans vote early so much more than their counterparts in other states?

They don't. Republicans are outperforming voter registration in Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina.

Colorado is such that it has more Republicans than Democrats and they are soaring to the polls this time.

Tender Branson is saying in 2010, the early voting was R+6 but ultimately Bennet won by 1%...nobody's disputing right now it's R+3, which seems to imply a narrow Obama victory. I'm listening very intently, krazen.

Of course. He and you both presume that independents will vote the same in this election as they did in those. Why would that be so?

In that same 2010 election Republicans won 3 statewide offices and the aggregate house vote  by 5 points. Of course they had better candidates in those races than Mr. Buck.

I'll give you that Romney is an infinitely better candidate than Buck, I don't think anyone would deny that, but I also think that people underestimate the extent to which Obama is a better candidate than Bennett was. Lets not forget, Obama has actually won a state wide election in this state, where as in 2010, Bennett had not, and was appointed by an unpopular governor to fill a vacant senate seat. In addition, Bennett was the superintendent of the Denver public schools, not a well known figure in CO, until he was appointed to the senate, and really, until the 2010 campaign began. My point is, when we are comparing states like Nevada and Colorado which elected Democratic senators in 2010 because of flawed republican nominees, it is easy to over look the fact that the Democrats that won were extremely flawed as well, and Obama, like Romney, may to some extent be a better candidate. I will also concede that the 2012 early voting certainly makes Colorado look more favorable to the Republicans than it did 2008, but I also don't think that anyone can say with confidence that this race is anything more than a tossup right now.     

If Obama wins I hope Kerry gets SOS, I just feel like after everything is his career he deserves it.  The Dems in MA do need to make sure that Scott Brown doesn't get his old seat back though, which would entail Patrick appointing himself or a lame duck place holder to fill the seat until he runs for the seat or, as someone else mentioned, appoint a Kennedy to the seat.  

I do not need to do this. I am voting for one of His followers and chosen representatives on Earth over the follower of a false prophet and false church and his atheist-worshipping running mate.

Amen!

McCain says Mourdock should apologize and implies that he may not support him if he doesn't.

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/10/24/mccain-says-mourdock-should-retract-remarks/

Romney's not stupid... he's in the race of a life time and knows anything, including connections to an idiotic Senate candidate, can make a difference.

Mourdock will still be favored to win - a lot of Hoosier's probably agree with this statement, honestly.

Missouri is probably just as conservative, if not more, than Indiana now, and it didn't fly here (I live in Missouri now, I'm just to embarrassed to change my avatar).

Good news, but the Senate numbers are suspicious, they only have Brown up one.  And in trade is almost certainly always on crack... didn't they have Kerry up by huge margins on election day 2004?

Baldwin- 49
Thompson- 44

I'm not quite sure if this is an internal for Baldwin or not.  I've also never heard of the Feldman Group before.

If I am correct Let Freedom Ring is an advocacy group that produced multiple anti-obama ads in 2008 (such as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shYr0uCpXWA). I believe that this may be the same organization, however I'm  not sure.

Romney looks uncomfortable and like he doesn't want to be there... or he's just constipated.

I'm disappointed Mexico won't be a part of this debate.

There's still time for Mitt to mention his Hispanic heritage.

Obama killed it on that question.
