Hey Lasher. I saw your thread plummeting this afternoon but instead of rescuing it I thought you deserved some adversity. :)

Looking better lately, especially in the senate with Brown a consensus leader and Chafee in big trouble in Rhode Island. The GOP has sent in a team of outsiders to rescue his GOTV for the September primary. Chafee is one of the least objectionable Republicans out there, but I'm not one to think it's fine if he wins the primary, since Whitehouse is leading the polls anyway. We can't argue that, while expecting Lamont to get a huge boost coming out of a heavily contested primary. Chafee would also. Plus he has incumbency.

In the House we're now a small favorite. Based on overall national mood more than race to race. I think Tiggeroshii is correct, the Ney departure actually hurts us somewhat, like the Duke Cunningham race in San Diego. It's better to have the scandal plagued target to shoot at, not the replacement.

We might be losing ground in the gov races. Still favored to net many races but perhaps not the 9 or 10 that have been projected. The govs are seldom mentioned around here but some of the recent signs aren't great, like Granholm in trouble in Michigan and Knowles in Alaska not the favorite if Sarah Palin wins the GOP primary, which looks likely.
