McCaskill race is looking more positive than ever, but TN, VA, and even MT (slightly) are worrisome to me. Ford unfavorable rating is about 10% higher than Corkers, and Burns favorable rating has jumped up somehow. Webb also seem stuck at 43% for awhile and still needs help forming an identity to votes.

Bernie Sanders being in the Senate. That will really make me proud. A Democrat we can rely upon. Having to adhere by the senate rules giving so much play to the opinions of the likes of Tom Coburn. I am surprised Sanders would want to be in the Senate. In the House you can be somewhat more honest with such thugs. Bernie. Make us proud. How are Sanders' polls. I should be ashamed, I have not contributed to Sanders' cause.

Here's a link conducted in VT Senate race.

Although it labels Sanders as a (D) instead of an (I), Sanders has the majority of Dem. support and will vote for with the Dem. caucus as senator.

But Sanders is an Independent, not a Democrat. He caucuses with the Democrats, but is generally more liberal than a lot of Dems. I like him just fine though. I'm looking forward to his strong progressive voice joining the Senate. :)

A vitally needed voice to offset all the repugs and demo sellouts like Liebermann. Bernie, give us a little truth. The repugs better keep at their sides more tums.

richie rich. And that with all the money rr has poured into his campaign. Bernie will winn with over a 25 point margin.

We need all of these states!

Most polls still show it neck and neck, but with Ford ahead.

Of course, either way, it's within the margin of error.

Also, Ford's negatives probably were higher when this poll was taken because of a juvenile ad against him run by the RNC. That ad had garnered national attention, now, and proven to be a bunch of crap. Also, Ford is now dumping his advertising budget. I used to see three Corker ads for every one Ford add, but that's been changing since this past weekend.

Oct. 19th: Corker 45%, Ford 43% (Mason Dixon)
Oct. 10th: Ford 48%, Corker 46% (Rasmussen)
Oct. 9th: Corker 48%, Ford 46% (Survey USA)

I'd go and say dems will win them all. The undeciders will break heavily to the democrats in all the races.

These are red states where there's a lot of discontent for the Republican Party, but not enough to make them vote for the Democrats. While some of these people will stay home, some of them will turn out to the polls and cast their vote for the Republican, though when a pollster calls them at home, they say they're undecided.

Undecideds will undoubtedly break for the Dems in NJ, PA, and OH.

The election will probably be won or lost by November 7th.

GOTV efforts focus on getting out the vote in Early Voting.

In our county we've had 2,700 voters already, about 60% more than four years ago at this time.

Our phone bank efforts show there are some Dems voting for our Dem Governor and Dem state legislative candidate but not Ford and won't say why. Hmmm, color?

Oh well, we keep trucking on and we're making good progress. Hope it's enough to elect Ford.

a month ago. We'll take the House but not the Senate. Allen will hold, Corker wins as does Talent. Dems hold NJ, take RI, PA, OH and MT. MO is a toss up.

Don't mean to nitpick.

that ain't nitpicking. I need more coffee- or something.

Or our Hart Interactive black box machines.

I live in East Tennessee - a very Republican stronghold - but I live in the largest city in East Tennessee, Knoxville (not a rural area). I see about three times as many Ford signs in yards and on cars than I do Corker signs. In fact, in my neighborhood, there's two yards with Corker signs and the rest are at the Pilot gas stations (because the man who owns Pilot is Corker's finance chair). In other words, there are more REAL people with Ford signs in their yard than Corker signs. The Corker signs are all at the Pilot - a business - and in grassy city/state rights-of-way.

If you go by the unofficial yard sign tally, I'm saying that Ford will pull enough votes out of East Tennessee to win. The way Bredesen won the governor's race is that he carried West and Middle Tennessee and pulled enough out of East Tennessee to carry the entire state. I'm hoping that's what Ford is attempting to do.

Bredesen, who is VERY popular here, is now putting out ads for Ford, which will help him. Many "undecides" remember what hell this state went through, financially, under the Republican governor, so they may actually break Dem this time as they did for Bredesen in 2002.

Bredesen is very popular, even among some Republicans. I'm glad he's supporting Ford, that could make the difference for Ford in this part of the state.

Unfortunately, racism is also still here and that has some effect, even among Democrats. I'd like to think it isn't so, but it's showing up among a few voters in our phone bank work. So, for every one who says something, you know there are many more who feel it but won't talk about it.

TN Corker 49- Ford 47 Ras
