I disagree. As a Coloradoan, I think Allard is going to squeak it out with a little help from Gov. Owens. Also, Fred Barnes on the Beltway Boys made an encouraging remark, "...this is the second time for Strickland, voters don't usually vote for the loser the second time around." My own personal sense is that the numbers that you are hearing are skewed in Strickland's favor - like last time.

I agree with the other Coloradoan (Nephi). As another Coloradoan resident I have seen how we can get out the vote in a much better way than the GOP can in other states. I worked my precinct both Saturday and Today and have seen some amazing things. First I agree that we cannot be fooled by polls. Regardless of the media or anything else - you cannot control that. You can only control what YOU are responsible for - and that is 1) VOTE and 2) WORK YOUR PRECINCT HARD (if you can). The second thing to be aware of is that when Gore lost Colorado - he lost it big. The polls showed a much smaller gap than what it ultimately was - which should be another good sign for Allard. The Allard volunteers have hit the largest Republican County in America VERY HARD - I'm pretty sure we will pull this one out but it won't be until early morning hours. The other thing I noticed was that the RATS seem very deflated here. I've talked to blue dog RATS and Californian RATS and almost all of them seemed to think that they were in trouble because of money and DNC scandals. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU IN EACH OF YOUR RESPECTIVE STATES!!!!

Tell that to Rudy Giuliani and Jeb Bush. A silly comment from Fred Barnes.

I hope the tehory voters don't vote for previous loosers holds true for our gov race in Tennessee Van Hilleary (R) is facing the 2 time looser weasel phil bredesen former mayor of Nashville..I want it to be 3 times looser!

Lamar holds the Senate for Tennessee. Looks like we will hold 2 House seats as well. State Sen Marsha Blackburn will take Ed Bryant's seat and Janice Bowling will take Van Hilleary's seat..unless there is massive voter fraud like there is in Memphis all across the state.
