Yet another reason I expect Haley to have no problems securing a second term.

South Carolina deserves Haley in any other state this race would be Likely D with all of Haley's baggage.

This is wonderful news.

Fabulous.

I thought this was a poll. But anyway, this was gonna be obvious the moment Jason Carter announced his rumored run for the GA governorship. The DGA is focusing more on picking up governorships in the Midwest, and the only southern incumbent they're really focusing on (not counting Florida) is Deal. Haley is fools gold.

Huh?  Nikki's had a few missteps here and there, but nothing unusual and nothing so extensive as to constitute baggage. She's turned out to be a better governor than I had expected.  Of course, my expectations were low enough that despite that I'll probably end up voting for Vincent again.

Is the gap of money more important than the gap of competence? I should hope not!

Not true. There are GOP governors with more baggage that are likely to be reelected again in democratic-leaning states: Walker, Snyder, Kasich, Scott (not that likely, let's see how FL develops).

I'm shocked considering how unpopular she is (although I don't know why.)

She really isn't that unpopular here though.  She has good approval ratings with Republicans, and her ratings with independents aren't that bad either.

Haley wins 57-40 over Shaheen.

I expect the Democrats to pick-up Florida while Republicans pick-up Arkansas

Pennsylvania is too close to call and its possible the Dems up there could blow this

Go run a lap

[IceSpear]

No it isn't.

Of course, anything's possible.

Last polls on Pa and Fla were about same 44-37 in Pa and 47-40 for Dems in Fla.

Pennsylvania is not too close to call, stop with the nonsense.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It goes along with conservatives on this forum thinking that Toomey isn't ripe for picking either when we have a very strong chance of picking off Wisconsin, IL, and Pa in 16 senate races.

[Rocky Rockefeller]

I think the Dems will almost certainly pick up PA.

Corbett is finished.  Stick a fork in him

So how are you a Democrat again?

[ElectionsGuy]

Not with Corbett. Unless they get another republican from a primary challenge, Dems have this pretty secured up actually.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Bridgegate will give a slight movement towards D's in 14 and 16, where the GOP possibly could of won Pa.

A local New Jersey scandal will effect other races such as PA

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Christie was the clear front runner in Pa over Hillary, could of won Pa. He was leading Hilary by the same 4 pt spread Toomey was leading Sestak. I said a slight movement. It does affect their reform message of not being Obama, in 2014 and Bruce Rauner wanting to reduce the min wage by a dollar.
