Let's talk about the Senate: Who's gonna win? And, will Walsh and West still be around?

Looks like Akin and Mourdock are going down. Will Baldwin win? Anyone know? It also wasn't looking too good for Walsh (awwww) but West was ahead last time I heard.

Kaine gonna pull it off?

That is CT and Mass.
McCaskill in Missouri looks pretty good which is amazing since it looked before the summer like she was in huge trouble. Thank you, Todd Akin.
Berkley has a shot in NV, Heller seems to be a bit weaker per Jon Ralston. But it leans to the Repub in the polling.
Donnelly looks like he can beat Mourdock in Indiana.
Will Tester hold on in Montana? It will be very close. Same with Heitkamp in ND.
King will most likely win in Maine as a left leaning independent.
Allen is a bit ahead of Allen in VA (thankfully).
Baldwin has a slight lead on Thompson in WI. PPP was Baldwin plus 3 recently.
In Ohio, I think Sherrod Brown takes the seat. Josh Mandel is no match and Brown has been ahead since the beginning.

We might lose the seats in Montana and ND but pick up the seat in Mass and have an independent that caucuses with Dems with King in Maine. And we might pick up the Indiana seat, something no one saw coming.

My mind was mush.

Kaine is leading Allen by almost 2 points in the average polling. http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2012-virginia-senate-allen-vs-kaine

Only the JZ Analytics/Newsmax (run by Zogby) poll had Kaine up by 8, everything has been closer.

I saw some recent info here in Fl saying he's slightly behind his opponent. Wouldn't be anything happier than that asshole getting the boot.

I am a great inventor. There's just one problem. Whenever I come up with an original invention it turns out it has been around for years.

When I was a kid I thought it would be a great idea to have a vacuum cleaner that ran through the wall.

Already done!
