In Iowa, for example, Ernst raised $4.5 million in the third quarter, according to the Des Moines Register, considerably surpassing Braley’s total of $2.8 million. The third-quarter numbers were more even in Colorado — Gardner $4.3 million, Udall $4.0 million, according to the Denver Post — but a big improvement for Gardner over the lopsided numbers we’d seen previously. (Gardner began his campaign only in March of this year, which accounts for his slow start.)

In Arkansas, Republican Tom Cotton outraised Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Pryor $3.9 million to $2.2 million in the third quarter. Republican David Perdue slightly outraised Michelle Nunn in Georgia, offsetting what had been an advantage for Nunn. In New Hampshire, the Republican candidate, Scott Brown, has been closing in the polls of late, and he also raised a pinch more ($3.6 millon) than Democratic incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen ($3.5 million) in the third quarter.

Every Republican Senate candidate should call on Obama to restrict travel from West Africa - and call on their Democratic oppora to to join them in the call. Put the Democrats on the spot - are they for America... Or Obama.

The choice is clear.

Do these predictions take into account voter fraud?

Did Silver forecast Cantor’s defeat?

If no, then he’s probably way underestimating TEA and Repub turnout for the mid-terms.

[Logical me]

Great, but if you are not hitting ads towards destroying the Democrat the money means nothing. Don’t soft peddle, hit hard and be don’t pull punches.

So Nate Silver is watching campaign fundraising in addition to polling data?

Since he’s in the business of establishing odds for political elections, campaign fundraising data seems like a reasonable metric for his calculations.
