1. But what about the blood-letting we were promised by the corporate "news"?

Reed is up (NV), Coons is up (DE), Bluementhal (CT) is up.

Where's all the blood?

LOL!

3. Is Blumenthal up?

Last I heard the wrestling crazy was getting a bit too close to comfort. Did I miss a new poll?

I don't think Blumenthal is going to lose in CT but I'd really like to see him open up a decent margin on that moron.

5. McMahon just made a major faux pas about lowering the minimum wage

<a href="http://www.myleftnutmeg.com/frontPage.do">My Left Nutmeg<a/> has links to a collection of stories video about this faux pas. McMahon may have screwed herself over this comment.

7. That was nice wasn't it.

I really hope this has the legs to make it into Blumenthal advertising and soon.

12. Her full page ad in the New Haven Register this morning was just one business talking point

after another...nothing about the consumer, the citizen, the ordinary worker. She even was doing the "death tax" thing!

I hope she really screwed the pooch with that ad!

8. 50-46 in the latest (25-Sept)

Too close for comfort, but still...up is up and momentum is important.

9. It's not a lot

but you're right, it's in the right direction and it's not dropping. I like to see him at the 50%+ level, that is a good sign after being attacked by McMahon for the last 4 months.

Fortunately I'm now starting to see some Blumenthal ads too, I think as long as he can stay on TV he's going to be fine.

2. It's good! But I REALLY want to see Feingold close the gap in Wisconsin!

We really can't afford to lose him! At least Boxer and Brown are starting to pull ahead in California too!

[Larkspur]

6. I hear that Feingold is starting to hit back

He's got some money from the liberal groups and is starting to get good ads out.

11. Ron Johnson opposed WI Child Victims Act

After this gets legs, we'll see Feingold soar.

Read about it- Jason Linkins at Huffington Post:

4. Fantastic news!

Go Joe!

10. Sastak leads by 11 points among Independents and he's still trailing thats the first

I've seen that makes no sense to me

13. Good news, thanks for sharing!

[mvd]

14. Thanks for posting! Very happy about this development

Toomey is Santorum II. And we also have to defeat Corbett. Corbett makes lists of people who sign petitions against him.

15. That's creepy

Any articles about Corbett doing this?

17. He dropped it apparently under pressure, but you can read it here:

18. Thanks for the link

Yup. He's creepy.

[AtomicKitten]

16. Wow! That's what I call closing the gap.

Toomey is one of the worst (and there are many) fundie rightwing crazypersons. I'm thrilled Sestak closing in on that mess.

[saltpoint]

19. It will be a much more tawdry chamber with Toomey in that

seat.

I'm rooting for Joe.

20. Sestak is a fighter..

He may come across as a low-key guy but he will kick some serious ass.
