I'll leave you with this analysis to ponder: Democrats could virtually guarantee holding the Senate by picking off a seat currently held by the GOP. As the midterm election picture began to take shape, the conventional wisdom informed us that their best opportunities to do so were: Florida, Missouri, Ohio, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Kentucky (after Paul was nominated). Follow any of those links and you'll start to smell what Charlie Cook is cooking.
UPDATE: Ho hum. Another national poll shows a record lead for Republicans on the generic Congressional ballot among likely voters.
