1. Pres Obama cleared the field for her.

She was once a Blue Dog in the House, but since she was appointed to the Senate her voting record has taken a decidedly liberal bent. That plus her double-digit lead makes this a success story.

4. Which tells me when she wins she will take a hard turn to the right

could be wrong, don't know much about this race.

5. That was my concern initially and we certainly have no guarantee.

Let's just say so far so good.

7. I don't think so

I'm one of her constituents and my feeling is that she leaned - not really right but less left when she was in the house because of her specific district which was more conservative than say....Manhattan. I think we're seeing the true Kristin now which is fine - her job is to represent her constituents and she did so as both a Rep and a Senator.

2. Not really worried about NY. I am concerned about Nevada, Colorado, Washington and Illonois

we really need to win those or we are in trouble.

6. I worry about KY. The teabagger is going to win on his daddy's name. nt

3. Much better than the Suervey USA poll, but too close for comfort.

I gave up worrying about CT just a couple days ago... let's not add a new one, hmmm?
