You know what would have been helpful? Some kind of analysis of how many states are in play, which way they’re leaning and how many of the states in play one side or the other has to win to take or keep control. Done to death, I know, but not since Kansas and South Dakota got weird.

We’re done here. Last person out turn off the lights.
Don’t know about anyone else but I’m not placing too much stock in the polling in individual Congressional races at this point. Maybe it’s just because I’m being overly optimistic,but I’ve felt pretty good since early this year about the Dem chances of keeping it close this November. The candidates remember 2010 and they learned from Pres. Obama’s campaign in 2012 too. A few of us here in TPM have been pointing out for months that if you look just at the Governor’s races,the cw about it being a big Repub year just doesn’t hold water. That’s become even more apparent with the latest news from the WI and FLA governor’r races. I’m a bit suspicious of the CO and IA polling too.
I have been surprised at DCCC’s and DSCC’s retention. All the stories were that they had so much money. Why not spend it in Kentucky? Did they think the polls were going to resemble a rising arc when they put money in, that the other side was not going to fight back ferociously? I cannot stand the pessimism. I feel the contributions I gave them were completely wasted, and I have learned my lesson.
