John– Yeah- the governor’s race just tightened a bit- but the gooper is still ahead.

There are a couple of strange possibilities out there- including a real melee- like

Dems win five seats and Spectre changes parties to give dems the ability to reverse the fucked up death to defendant’s rights bill- followed by Ol Joe switching sides to give balance back to the goopers. Could be interesting.

Best outcome is that dems just win it outright- but it’s still not clear where the damned sixth seat will come from.

RWCole – was listening to NPR today. A national pollster was saying that all the major polling firms understand that the polls they do for state elections are usually not terribly accurate. Their methodology is developed to determine national trends, but not state by state.

You seem to be very focused on polls and I would just say (as a former pollster) please take them with a grain of salt. I certainly wouldn’t make any pronouncements about any campaigns based on Zogby or Q-polls, Rasmussen, or any of the others.

I am impressed with Christy Hardin Smith interaction in the TV with the other blogger, Paul Mirengoff. Actually, I’m not interested about submitting this comment or make some reaction through the internet. I’m a new comer and just want you to know that this time I will change course by voting the democratic candidates.

Junior – today is Christy’s birthday and I’m sure you’ve made her day. Isn’t she terrific? We are so lucky to have her provide her legal and political insight every day.

The newest Zogby shows a 6-point difference.
Certainly the Courant is taking a principled stand and demonstrating Lieberman’s hypocrisy at every possibility. GOTV!

That’s great if it’s true. It only has to get within 5 points for Lamont to win – and he’s going to surge the next three weeks.

Actually, the Q poll is coming out tomorrow. It will probably show Lieberliar with an 8 point lead – again, not bad news at all.

rw, imho, the Governor’s race in Idaho is critical. I’m betting ID-R Larry Craig announces before January 2007 that he is going in for “alcoholism” treatment. That means AFAIK, that the ID governor appoints his replacement. Anyone know which way that race is headed?

JC–regarding ID governor’s race, Evergreen Politics has some interesting links that ultimately take you to Charlie Cook.

Also, there’s a new thread.
