WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Today will be my last Sunday with the Senators column until after the election.
And yes, after the election will come a recap of WHY some of the campaigns worked and others didn’t. And then, it will be time to start framing the 2010 races. Updates on individual races will show up as separate posts, but I need these last two weekends to canvass.
So here goes.
I put up a set of polls for you to respond to for the contentious Senate races, and here are the results, so far: (all numbers rounded, links for the candidates are in the original post.)
Virginia: Warner 100%, Glimore 0%
New Mexico: Udall 100%, Pearce 0%
New Jersey: Lautenberg 97%, Zimmer 3%
Colorado: Udall 98%, Shaffer 2%

DCW reader projections on the individual races jibe with the last overall number of Senate seats in 2009 poll, where 29% of you thought we’d win 58 seats. Want to change your assessment?
And before you do, consider this, the latest Texas poll average shows “Big John” Cornyn at 50%, and Rick Noriega at 44%.
