Version: 8

Washington state is useless.

Version: 7

Margins and confidence again.

Version: 6

Changes in margins and confidence, and giving Washington state to the GOP. Dino Rossi is polling very well there.

Version: 5

Giving North Carolina back to the Reps.

Version: 4

Oy vey.

Version: 3

Updates in confidence and margins based on recent trends and switching North Carolina to the Dems.

Version: 2

Changing margins and confidence, but no change in winners.

Version: 1

The 2008 presidential election, with either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket...will have a big effect on the down the ballot races...governor included. Dino Rossi will win the office that was quite literally stolen from him four years ago, and voters in North Carolina will oust the Democratic regime for the first time in many years...change indeed.
