I'm going with Jerry McNerney because I detest Richard Pombo's environmental extremism.

I'm also rooting for Gary Trauner and Tessa Hafen to pull off the upset.

Ehrlich and Kinky.

In the Senate, I suppose Mike DeWine.  He has a pretty good voting record.

Ehrlich's not that big of an underdog. I call that race a tossup that ever so narrowly tilts Democratic.

O'Malley's been leading for awhile, although the race does seem to be tightening.  I doubt anyone would predict Ehrlich to win at this point though.

On you list of House candidates-Diana Irey

On the list, I choose Vernon. I love rabble rousers.

Off the list, I choose Michael Steele. He's the GOP's Obama. I'd like to see them square off in token black senator debates.

Of those in the poll, Trauner.

Otherwise, Ford, though alas he's likely to fall just a hair short.

The fact he accuses every opponent he ever has of homosexuality does not get old after awhile?

McNerney, although it would also be great to see Trauner win.

I picked Victoria Wulsin cause Jean Schmidt is just batsh**t crazy.

Why isn't Raj Bhakta on here?  You drive through some parts of the district you wouldn't even know Schwartz is running.  I hate to admit Raj ran a great upstart even I was impressed.

Do you think Bhakta might pull off an upset? I haven't see any polls out of this district at all.

I'd give it a very outside chance (5%), but what I'm seeing on the ground is making me a bit nervous.  PA 13 should have had more attention.

How can any Democrat not love the idea of a poor black man with negative cash on hand knocking off a racist ultracon whose too arrogant to even campaign?

Fleming it is, easily.

Most Democrats nowadays aren't LaRouchites like Fleming and you.

Angelides.

Not so much that I strongly support him, but because Arnold has shown himself to be very hostile to my chosen profession (teaching).

Scott Kleeb in NE-03

Although Kleeb is the better candidate in this race, which is why leading conservative-leaning papers, like the Omaha World Herald and the Lincoln Journal Star, both of which endorsed Bush for President in 2000 and 2004, have endorsed him glowingly and while an internal poll had him leading Adrian Smith by 46 to 40, given the fact that NE-03 is overwhelmingly Republican, he's still the underdog in this race

From the comments I've read, it's more about who will best represent the interests of the District rather than whether the Democrats or Republicans control the House. Kleeb has the vision, the ideas, while Smith would be slavishly in hoc to the Club for Growth, which wants to abolish farm subsidies in a district where farming is integral to its economic well-being

This is a district were Democrats, independents and enough Republicans may look beyond party labels and vote for the best candidate
