Hmm, 3/4 say they have already voted and Rossi leads by 5 among them.

Probably change this to a Rossi win in my predicition.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

This must mean that they have Reid up by a solid margin in Nevada. That or Jensen is just being a total prick with his tweets.

PPP doesn't always have the most favorable results for Democrats. See also the poll with Feingold down 9.

He could be up (and hopefully is), but if you are referring to the retain the Senate tweet it could mean 50-50 with Biden being the tiebreaker they still have control.  That tweet could have been about West Virginia and California being out of reach.

Since Boxer is almost certainly winning, Taliban Patty biting the dust is the only acceptable consolation prize.

[Tender Branson]

Taliban Patty

LOL. Explain plz.

[Guderian]

It's the nickname derived from her belief that Talibans and Bin Laden built daycare centers for kids in Afghanistan.

[I left.]

I will put Murray just as vulnerable as Russ Feingold now.

That would be a stupid thing to do...unsurprisingly.

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

[J. J.]

  It is, however, only one poll and I'm not too happy with PPP this year.

[Invisible Obama]

She does lead 51-45 with those who haven't voted yet, so I think that's where her win is at. Two points isn't insurmountable with that sort of margin with people who haven't vote yet.

[Lief]

Ah, so it really is game over then. I presume Joe Lieberman is already drafting a press conference speech for Wednesday morning about his intention to switch parties.

[oakvale]

FWIW, Fox actually has Murray with a narrow lead, so who knows?

[??????????]

Well, at least we know who bgwah voted for.

[Whacker77]

This race is a falt out tie.  I say that because the polls are close, but, more importantly, half of the polls favor Murray and half of the polls favor Rossi.  For Rossi's sake, I would hate to see him defeated in another brutally close recount.  I guess King County won't be relasing their vote totals until the rest of the state is 100% in!

[auburntiger]

Fingers are crossed for a GOP pickup. I've changed it on my prediction map. It would be nice to have a victory in the west coast for a change.

[Meeker]

I think we're going to lose this.

[Fuzzy]

I think we're going to lose this.

Murray has a 2 point lead with the Fox news poll. And this poll doesn't include cell phone voters.  Don't say that. 

[SPC]

I say that Rossi wins by ~30,000.

[Fuzzy]

One poll shows a Murray lead of 4% before the election and it's "too close to call" or something, but when Rossi's up by 2 in one poll Democrats are like "Oh my fkn GOD!  SHE IS SO SCREWED!"  


Snap out of it.  Murray's not screwed. It's going to be a close race, either candidate could win.  

[SvenssonRS]

...motherf'er. It's PPP, too - post-Kos PPP.

Maybe this race won't disappoint me after all.

[The Vorlon]

I say that Rossi wins by ~30,000.

Rossi wins, initially anyway, by about 100 votes less than the net change in King County after the "recount"....

But seriously.....

Race is damn close, I have Murray barely holding on, but it's a 52/48 thing... tossing a coin is at least as accurate as I can be on this one.

[oakvale]

It's weird that PPP is showing Rossi ahead and Rasmussen is showing Murray ahead, considering it's usually the other way around.

[bgwah]

Ahh, run for higher ground Patty!!!



On a more serious note, I don't believe PPP polled WA much (if at all?) in previous elections, so I don't know what their track record is here. These numbers are still quite unsettling, though. If this thing is close, we won't know who won for a while.
