11. But Tuesday's Wall Street Journal opened the door for a possible upset in the making:
Lets hope that the ground does not shake in CA as Fox would so love it.

But Tuesday's Wall Street Journal opened the door for a possible upset in the making:

Mr. Harmer said internal polling showed him behind by only 2 percentage points. A lower turnout could benefit him, because political scientists say larger electorates tend to be more liberal...............


After all, will it really be a shock if a conservative wins in conservative upstate New York? Or if Virginia, which almost always goes opposite whichever party is in the White House, does it again with Bob McDonnell?

And given New Jersey's high unemployment and income tax rates, how surprising will it be if Jon Corzine isn't re-elected?

By contrast, if the underdog Harmer, in a Democratic district in the highly liberal state of California, can pull out this upset, the ground will be shaking from coast to coast.
