Seven states are in the Toss-Up category (California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Wisconsin, Washington and West Virginia. All seven Toss-Ups are seats currently held by Democrats

Republicans have the edge in five Democratic-held Senate seats--Arkansas, Indiana, North Dakota, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

At the moment, no Republican-held seats appear headed for the Democratic column.

Oops. Old news. Rasmussen moved Delaware from leans R to leans D last night.

Old data.

Delaware is listed as “Lean Republican” based on a September 7 poll.

But after yesterday, it is now considered “Lean Democrat.”

OK, but someone needs to fix that Delaware entry. GOP doesn't have the edge there anymore.

This has DE as Leans Republican as of Sep7. I’m sure today they’ll change that... but you know what... I bet they were right the first time. DE Leans Republican.

It takes a Carter to give us a Reagan (and it takes an 0bama to give us GOP senators in California, Wisconsin and Nevada).

I am taking that Tuesday and Wednesday in November off from work. This is all I’ll be paying attention to. I won’t be able to think clearly enough to work anyway.

Don’t forget - Obama also gave us a GOP senator in Mass. and good governors in NJ and Virgina.

There hasn’t been a poll yet. Moving to “leans Dem” is just speculation for right now. Give it 3 days and a new poll and I think we’ll see it back to the “leans Pub”

Tim Kaine was on “Fox and Friends” this morning claiming that the Tea Party successes have improved the Democrats’ chances of winning some seats which six months ago they expected to lose. Of course he is head of the DNC and was putting the most optimistic spin on things.

If so, then the corrected version is:

Dem 48, GOP 45, Tossup 7 (and GOP LEADS in 6 of these 7).
Final score: Dem* 49, GOP 51.

* 2 of the 49 Dem are not actually even Dem, but are independent/3rd party.

46 locked + 5 Likely = 51

So what this means is that getting rid of Castle is not the end of the world. Wow who would have thought from the pundits last night. I have been arguing that with Democrat filibusters and Obama's veto the difference between 51 and 50 isn't that important. But the difference between 52 and 51 to totally fracking pointless. Definitely worth sending the message to the RINOs in that case.

What you probably don’t know is that Tim had to have a double Botox eyebrow shot last night to keep it from jumping off his face this morning as he was telling fairy tales.

The GOP servants of the people ought to be more concerned about grass-roots GOP voters than the dipwads at msnbcnnabcbs.
