Okay, I screwed up my biggest prediction last year, so don’t wager on anything I’m saying here. Disclaimer aside, here’s how I see things playing out today.
–Sen. George Allen will pull his race out by the skin of his teeth. I say a three point Allen victory. Far closer than it should [...]

I guess Sen. Allen’s campaign has been getting good feedback about the other two addresses, because they’re doing it again. Senator George Allen and Senator John Warner will be making a final statewide address on election eve.
Either way, it can’t be a bad idea to be seen next to Sen. Warner at this point [...]

Yep, that’s a dream scenario, alright. I wouldn’t hold my breath, though.

WashTimes:
The Big Three television networks have used unprecedented midterm election coverage to bash the Republican Party with negative stories, and plenty of them, a study says.
Only 12 percent of election stories that aired on NBC, ABC or CBS were favorable toward Republican candidates, according to a study released yesterday by the [...]

Boy, Harold Ford’s Senate campaign in Tennessee appears to be tanking (and we’ve been treated to some nasty ads in that race down here), but I can’t really argue with him here. I like football and girls, too.

When the congressional page scandal broke last month, Democrats across the country saw a chance to lambaste Republican leadership - including Diane Farrell, who called on House Speaker Dennis Hastert to step down.
But when Sen. Edward M. Kennedy came to [...]

The Hillary Train rumbles along….
UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds is disappointed. “I was actually hoping for a Warner/Giuliani race, as something that might defuse the polarization a bit.”
