The best Thompson has done In most polls Is tied.To be far Cook was unsure what to say with WI.

To be fair the anti Dems In segment was mostly coming from Todd.

But still this would mean nothing changes In Senate.And If Baldwin wins In Wis that means a net gain of 1.I still think upseat Is possible
In ND.While Kerrey probally loses In Neb recent credable polling suggests a upset there remains a slim possibilty.

She loves herself too much. Otherwise, as tradition dictates, she should have resigned in 2010. Same with Boner - he should have been gone in 2006, when the republicans were shellacked out of the majority. That gavel must be magical.
