Confused About The State of Play for the 2010 Midterms?
— Maetenloch

Yeah me too. For those of us without Barone-like political knowledge of every Congressional district it gets hard to keep track of each race or the national situation. Luckily Google has an Election 2010 widget that lets you see the state of the political landscape at a glance based on the top predictors in politics - Sabato, Cook, Rothenberg, CQ-Roll Call, and RealClearPolitics.

Just click on a race, state, and source to see what each group is saying. Of course these are based on polls and other data so they're probably slightly lagging indicators of the true state. But as pollsters switch completely over to likely voter models you should start seeing the ratings converge towards the likely actual results.

1 Well, at least I have the comfort of knowing that my Congressional district is only "likely Democrat", not "safe Democrat."

3 They're not using Intrade.....therefore the numbers are skewed incorrectly.

10 Not bad for the senate and gov races, but the house races are mostly based on nothing, so not useful for that.

Where is everyone?

On the dildo thread I suppose. Morons.

Ready for another chapter in Republican Shit-headery?

In MA, there's a 3-way race for governor. The ( I ) is a former (D), and he's the straw candidate who's helping Deval Patrick win.

The ( I ) is running as a conservative-moderate who is "fed up with both parties." He goes out and hires two assholes from the McCain '08 campaign. These two assholes quit the campaign two weeks ago because their ( I ) client is polling in the single digits.

Here comes the shit-headery.

The two assholes emailed each other using the campaign's email accounts. In these emails were communications on how they were planning to quit the campaign and give information to the (R) candidate.

Man Chicago Jesus isn't having a very good week is he?

First the logo dropped; now this.

It's okay to laugh. They're akin to Jonetown supporters. And no one was seriously hurt so I guess they have that going for them.

Is this the race w/"Spaulding" running as the (R)? Poor guy. No one can remember his real name. Just the guy that ate his own boogers.

Polls are rigged in favor of conservatives, and real American's should discount any data suggesting they will triumph over our amazingly popular liberal agenda of health care for all, abortions on demand paid for by government, and food stamps for the suffering millions who were denied jobs by greedy conservative business owners.

18 Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit

Arkansas 'leans' GOP ?? Florida is a 'toss up' ???

Spaulding is good friends with the (R). He campaigns for him.

About 15 people have been treated for illness during a rally featuring President Obama at Bowie State University.

Kool-aid withdrawl. Must suck.

If conservatives do take the House and possibly the Senate, the questions remains, will they have the balls to get in the dirt with the liberals or will they continue their practice of going along to get along?

If they continues with this theme till '12, we're obligated to bounce every one of the assholes out to include Hatch, Snowe, and Grahamnesty to new a few.

Conservatives, fix bayonets!

The AK senate race is there. You just have to drag the map until you can see Alaska.

26 This thing isn't even close to right. Marco is crushing everyone in FL by 15 points and they have FL as a toss-up.

27 My GOD , That map is lame , It laid out so simply that even a Liberal could understand it ...I bet they are appealing to their base ...
It has no real informative value the map(s) over at RCP are even better then these ...

30 This has the Chabot/Driehaus race in Ohio's 1st district as a toss up or slightly leaning Republican, yet the latest Cincy Enquirer/SurveyUsa poll has Chabot some 12 points ahead of Driehaus. http://tinyurl.com/23xup4h

48 We lived on the banks of the Tennessee River, and we owned the summers when we were girls. We ran wild through humid summer days that never ended but only melted one into the other. We floated down rivers of weekdays with no school, no rules , no parents, and no constructs other than our fantasies. We were good girls, my sister and I. We had nothing to rebel against. This was just life as we knew it, and we knew the summers to be long and to be ours.
