Corker has rebounded a bit here. The race is still a tossup, I think, but this is good news.

The Governor's race is over. Breseden will win.

Corker needs to play a little offense here to put this one away. I don't think Ford did himself any favors in the debate.

Survey USA tends to tilt to the Rats. Corker leading in their poll is encouraging, but it is still a toss up at this point.

Great news!

This poll leans Dim.

Why is the Guv race so heavy favoring the Dim?

Yes they do. Polls are only a snapshot at a particular time. The can and do change.It looks like it is a deadheat in my Red Homestate.

Bredesen is more like a Democrat than the Bolshecrats at the national level.

And the RNC is pouring money into Corker's account. He will win.

They're debating right now, Corker and Ford. Ford's an idiot.

I think the polls will overestimate Ford's actual vote.

I was pleasently surprised that Ford didn't acome across that well in the debate. He's a dangerous cookie go head to head with, but Corker came out OK.

Let's hope Corker can pull this out.

Ford scares me... glad to hear Corker performed well, though.

I dunno.but if its a 1 0r 2 point race, then its doable. The libs just WANT to you to think it's a done deal.

He'll win in the end barring a total Republican wipeout.

He isn't doing himself any favors though. I hope he gets it into gear.

We need to hold this seat or we may lose the senate. Stuff the RINO talk. We need to hold this seat or it's Majority Leader Reid.

boy just when you thought it was all over. Just as it seemed a couple of weeks ago that the republicans had turned a corner we had a slew of bad polls including this one. And then the Foley scandal hit and they got worse. Now just as I was about to give up I go to Real clear Politics and suddenly the polls shown there today are good for us. What a crazy up and down world we live in.
