This is going to be a disaster in the House.

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.

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 Sad  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.

     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.

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

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

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.

Herseth Sandlin and Pomeroy will both lose.

You can cry about it later...
