changes due to other poster's opinions here:

switched Colorado to Democratic as it appears we Dems found a strong candidate there. I still think it will be very close though.

Move Louisiana from tossup to lean Republican. I think Landrieu is in big trouble there right now.

Joyfully moved South Dakota to the strong Democratic category. They seem to love Tim Johnson out there very much.

Moved New Mexico back to the lean Dem category. I still love our chances there though as once again we seem to have a strong candidate there.

Dole is having a harder time in North Carolina than I thought she would. She still will be very tough to beat though....

Move Maine into the lean Rep category right now. I still would not be surprised if Collins loses though, even though most on here seem to disagree with me on that.

I still think Mitch McConnell will lose in Kentucky, even though it seems again that I'm alone or close to it on here.
