Down To The Wire
It's crunch time for the Senate. Let's hope it's not a tie:
"Democratic challengers are leading Republican incumbents -- in some cases narrowly -- in Missouri, Montana and Rhode Island, according to the USA Today surveys. Other polls show Democratic challengers ahead in Ohio and Pennsylvania."

"Even if Democrats sweep those five races, however, they would fall one seat short of the six needed for majority status. Two GOP targets, in Tennessee and Virginia, now lead by 3 percentage points among likely voters."

* Missouri: McCaskill 49%, Talent 45%
* Montana: Tester 50%, Burns 41%
* New Jersey: Menendez 50%, Kean 40%
* Rhode Island: Whitehouse 48%, Chafee 45%
* Tennessee: Corker 49%, Ford 46%
* Virgnia: Allen 49%, Webb 46%
I've seen other polls showing Webb ahead of Allen and Chafee ahead of Whitehouse.

It's all going to come down to turnout. If Dems turnout and Republicans sit on their hands, we win. If not, who knows.
