I still wouldn't bet on these races, especially RI, where Bush has a 20% approval rating
Guess someone ought to explain to the Democrats pretending to be Conservatives, Bush is not on the ticket. According to Gallup only 36% of voters see this vote as a vote against Bush. So not even about 1/3 of the Democrat base buy this "it all about Bush" nonsense the Democrat Noise Machine is spewing forth.

Well, for what it's worth, the Dems have shifted resources to R.I. and Montana. As well, Kos expressed concern.
If I had to wager a guess I say Montana is close, but the leanings of the state and Rep turnout pull it to Burns.
DeWine is still a bit behind. Depending on your POV, his chances of pulling this out a) depend on his last name or b) incumbancy.
Some analysts think the name is still a big draw. It's the main reason he won before. Me? I think if he pulls this out incumbancy is to credit.
I'm still pulling for him to lose.
