It almost pains me to see Session's approvals so high.

[Verily]

Surprisingly bad numbers for Smith and Brownback (though Brownback's not up for reelection until 2010, and he's clearly not winning the Presidential nomination). The others are uninteresting or expected.

Ohio seems to have become the new New Jersey: they hate everyone.

They seem to love Strickland.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I'm surprised no one's paying SUSA to poll Graham's popularity yet.  While the lack of any hint of a credible challenger might have something to do with that, one would think it would at the least be an interesting crosstab for the presidential primary polling (along with support for DeMint and Sanford).

[HardRCafé]

I am amazed Brown has net negatives.

[Frodo]

Virginia:

Warner: 57-33 - Up for Re-election 2008
Webb: 48-42

Why are Jim Webb's numbers so mediocre?  Nothing readily comes to mind since I haven't heard much from him since he took office. 

[HardRCafé]

The only thing in the world he had going for him was not being George Allen.  Virginia has shifted, but kiddie porn and misogyny are still a tough sell there.

[Reaganfan]

I am amazed Brown has net negatives.

I'm still rather shocked he defeated Mike DeWine. DeWine was such more of a well known name around Ohio...and Ohioans tend to elect the better known, better talked about candidates. Many...including myself...had no idea who Sherrod Brown was...and I actually pictured an African American woman when I heard the name (as did Rush Limbaugh, coincidently). To have him win a double digit victory against a well known Senator DeWine...it was a bit of a shock.

Since then...he has done nothing...and hopefully won't be in the Senate too long.

[Boris]

kiddie porn

Insert obligatory refutation here.

[HardRCafé]

I'm not.  DeWine did nothing to distinguish himself and acted as if he were trying to lose by a larger margin than Santorum.  (Close, but no cigar.)

I'm sorry Brown won, but I'll miss DeWine less than Allen, Burns, Santorum, and Talent.

Ah yes the Allen "kiddie porn" attack... that worked out real well for him.

His victory and the margin shouldn't have been much of a surprise.....

That's strange.  You seem to have forgotten Lincoln Chafee.

[Person Man]

Lol, the only thing some of these hicks have is slander. Are the media who reported on Foley kiddie porn peddlers?

Perhaps b/c he is a mediocre Senator?

I know that comment is tongue-in-cheek, but for the sake of argument, why do you say that?  How is he mediocre?

Sam Spade dislikes Democrats, Frodo.

It was only tongue-in-cheek, Frodo, nothing meant by it.  He was (and still is) not one of the best new Democrats on my Senate list for 2007 - but that is nothing different from what I have said in the past.

[Person Man]

Bob Casey is, right?

[HardRCafé]

That's strange.  You seem to have forgotten Lincoln Chafee.

You seem to be deliberately dense.
