1. Rasmussen has moved the race from Leans Democrat to Toss-up as of their latest report. It’s back in the margin of error of 4 points, at 49 to 45 in favor of Brown.

2. The LA Times/USC poll is wrong. Earlier this week, the LA Times released poll results showing Brown leading the race 52 to 39.

3. The Republican Tsunami will be so large, that Democrats will stay home. By the time most people are ready to vote in California—that is, after work— results will be in from the east and some of the midwest, and it will be apparent that the democrats will lose a significant number of seats in the House, the Senate, and Governor’s mansions. Democrats will stay home, as Republicans did in 2008.

4. The Field Poll is wrong. The Field Poll, which got both the Duekmajian and Wilson elections wrong, has historically overstated the Democrat vote.

3. The Examiner was once a respectable newspaper. I worked there
Now it's a nadir of right-wing haters and baiters. They don't even try to conceal it anymore.
