Talk Elections

Kirk: 46
Alexi: 42

Game over.

Game over? We've seen a ton of polls like this. I'm still not totally convinced but... my final prediction will probably be for Kirk.

If Kirk was still down in the low 40's I'd agree, but he's above 45% now. The undecideds are breaking and not in the way that we need.

Yeah, I'll also predict a slight Kirk win now.

I wouldn't completely rule out Alexi. He's still at 32 on Intrade. That's better odds than Raese has.

the early dem turnout seems good hence, the democrat can still win, especially in the Obama state...

It seems that over the last week or so a close race has become a four point race for Kirk.  I think Fox has the exact same number out this morning.  The Senate probably doesn't need either guy, but Alexi is a little young and I say that as a 33 year old.

I've said this before, but it's hilarious how this race is so close and yet has utterly failed to arouse any excitement whatsoever.

:)

Fingers crossed that once Kirk scores the win here he'll go back to being his usual moderate self.

That's what I'm banking on.....but either way, even if not.....he'd be a better Senator than the G-man.

Actually it's not very good compared to previous years. Dems have posted a 3-1 advantage in the past but this year is more like 3-2. Turnout will be critical, low numbers compared to 2006 will favor Kirk.
