[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

This is going to be a disaster in the House.

[Rowan]

IA-03 surprises me.

[Lief]

Eh, I won't really miss most of those people. The good guys (Boswell, Pomeroy, I guess Herseth-Sandlin) also seem to be hanging in there.

[Former Moderate]

IA-03 surprises me.

Lousy GOP candidate.

[Senator X]

I'm glad that Boswell, Hill, and Pomeroy leading (especially Hill), but I'm really sad to see that Spratt is trailing (he's a really good Congressman and a real Democrat, despite his district).  I had been hoping that Spratt still had a chance, but (at least according to this poll) he seems to be a goner  I'm hoping the SC-5 result is an outlier and that Spratt narrowly wins (perhaps someone better acquainted with the district could inform me as to whether Spratt still has a chance).  Herseth-Sandlin is one of the more annoying blue-dogs and I feel rather apathetic about her fate this November (although I'd rather keep the seat than lose it, obviously).

The reason Herseth-Sandlin winning is important is for her to replace Tim Johnson in the Senate. That is her purpose in life.

Fair enough

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     ND-AL & SD-AL surprise me. Those polls are showing the GOP doing worse than other recent polling of the races.

I'm surprised Earl Pomery is ahead too.

Both Pomeroy and H-Sandlin are going against heavy GOP coattails in the Dakotas.

I'd give H-Sandlin better odds than Pomeroy.

The only polls I ever see of those races are Rasmussen so it's nice to get more polls of these districts.

Yeah, I didn't see Spratt's numbers. That sucks.

[Sibboleth]

My hope is that Spratt wins by about three votes. More likely is that he loses, obviously.

[Gravis Marketing]

Well, he wasn't going to stay in Washington forever, anyway.

2010 will be the final nail in the coffin in the very slow funeral of the (rural) Southern Democrat.

[rob in cal]

The scary thing for Democrats about the demise of rural white southern Democrats is that those seats are so much tougher to win back.  Its one thing to lose a California 11, or a suburban Philly or outer Chicago area seat, those can be taken back in a solid Democrat year, but losing some of these southern seats is like losing forts deep in enemy territory.

Indeed, many won't be going Democratic again until there is another 2006.

[timmer123]

Herseth Sandlin and Pomeroy will both lose.

You can cry about it later...
