— CAC Courtesy of JohnE, as always.
Updated to reflect recent polling (and some unpublished observations) giving the Republicans the edge in North Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Florida, Montana, and Missouri; and Angus King the edge in Maine.
Republicans have a wide lead in North Dakota and Nebraska, a moderate lead in Florida and Wisconsin, and narrow but promising leads in Montana and Missouri, flipping the Senate. Ohio, New Mexico, and Hawaii could get interesting as time passes. Two of these three are open seats with competitive Democratic primaries, and Sherrod Brown's record in the Buckeye state might catch up to him (he currently enjoys double-digit leads over the Republican).
Be prepared for embiggened screen, it is a big map after the jump.
Told ya it was big.
Update: Rasmussen just released its Missouri Senate poll, confirming the already bad news for Senator McCaskill. She trails every Republican in the race.

If elected, [Rick Santorum] promises to “vigorously” enforce laws that “prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier.”

The places we might see positive movement are New Mexico -- I actually expect this one to be very competitive -- Virginia and maybe (MAYBE) Ohio. Probably in that order.
The one where there's a good chance of negative movement is Missouri. Lotta midgets running for the GOP nomination, and the most likely winner (Sarah Steelman) has the "Tea Party Incompetent" stink on her by a fair amount. I'm not that optimistic about the race, but I think Obama's unpopularity in the state may carry her over.

RINO RINO It's off to Caucus I go!
I'll be caucusing Saturday as well (Jeff. Township). Akin was my congressman before I moved districts (and then they redistricted Russ Carnahan into oblivion thankfully, so I should be back in a red district.)
The way I see it, he's a fairly standard "GOP platform" kinda guy.

Too many New Yorkers, and Jerzy types.
Spend a evening walking the boardwalk in a place like Deerfield Beach. Listen to the accents. Ask them how they vote. They will gleefully tell you about their absentee ballot in NY, and their in-person vote in FL.
True. I've walked the place. I know.

Now, I'm only familiar with what's going on in Kent County, and there are still the twin hurdles of navy blue New Castle County and the on-going influx of DC/Philly/New Jersey transplants moving here and voting Dem, so I'm not getting my hopes up, but if Smyrna's any indication, the tide may slowly be turning in a state that's currently bluer than Massachusetts.
The fact that both Wade and Kovach also speak about conservative ideas and policies as though they actually know what they're talking about is refreshing, especially after the years of middling weak sauce Castle moderation, and the fact that the state-level party is endorsing and promoting them can only be a positive.
Also, O'Donnell isn't running, which is also helpful.

Our country is going to collapse because he's wasting $800 billion on stimulus year after year (never seen this on news.. NEVER... its why Reid doesn't want to pass a budget, because he wants that porkulus to be part of the baseline spending year upon year)
When this occurs, I want to see Reid, Pelosi and the tyrant to be put on trial for treason. Its the least we can do
Will our country survive? Not with this rudderless idiot running the country.

Not by me, much as I enjoy making lefty heads explode. Let's feather this "let's see who can pick the weirdest candidate" competition, and leave the Brazilian Zoroastrians, Chinese lesbian amputee, New Guinea Sephardic, and Eskimo Jehovah's Witness cross-dressers out of this.

So your point is that Mitt would let it out that he is toying with a PR VP just to win the primary? I can't believe he would do that.

"245 Rove says the DNC has put out the word there will be no DNC money available for Dem congressional candidates as all funds are reserved for Obama."
Yes, but you left off the important point that The One is having real trouble raising cash. It seems too good to be true, and if it is true it seems too good to end up mattering, but keep your fingers crossed.

Well, we're running the sort of popular Republican ex-governor for Herb Kohl's senate seat in WI. He (Tommy Thompson) is running against Madison Liberal Tammy Baldwin. So, well, we have a better than even chance of winning that seat. It might not be *much* better than even, but it's probably around 52-53%.

Going to carry WA, NC, MT, NH. WV may actually be a pick-up, the gov race last year would have gone Red had the Republican had 4 more weeks to campaign. Even Democratic pollsters were saying so.
We will end up with 33-34 R governors by year's end at the rate things are progressing.
If you are a union toady, you'd up that by 1 and call Cuomo a de-facto Republican. They are treating him like Hitler in NY but because he has a -D besides his name nobody cares.

What I learned today: giving yourself a massage is not as good as when somebody else does it for you. Had a hippie-ish substitute yoga instructor today who spent about half the class having us massage our own feet. Not the same...
And before you laugh at me for taking yoga, I'm in a red area in a red state, the yoga class is at a church, and my regular instructor drives a tank of an SUV. No Obama lovers in my class that I know of.

Posted by: jwest at March 15, 2012 09:42 PM (FdndL)
Stabenow's incredibly unlikeable, but she's got a heck of a war chest and knows how to campaign. Hoekstra is destroying the rest of the (weak) Republican field, but for someone with his level of name recognition, he's been polling poorly in a head to head match-up with Stabenow. His crappy Superbowl ad certainly didn't help. Durant is the only other Republican in the race with the money and backing to take on Stabenow, but his campaign has been going nowhere.

"Sad to see Kaine in front of George Allen in Virginia."
Once gas prices reach over $4.00, Kaine will go down in polls. Even in 2006 with the backlash against repubs, former republican-turned-democrat Jim Webb only won by about 7-8K votes against Allen, that's it. And that was due to the Macca mess by Allen. If Santorum is the nominee, Allen will lose, with Romney, there might be a chance for Allen to win. But it was very close in 2006, even with all the anti-repub sentiment, not a landslide.

Longtime New York Democratic Rep. Gary Ackerman will retire at the end of the 112th Congress, he announced tonight.
Ackerman, serving his 14th full term, represents portions of Queens and Long Island. But, in a redistricting map likely to become law, his district was essentially dismantled and his home was drawn into the same district as Rep. Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

I'm impressed, though honestly the worst they'll do is kill you with kindness, funeral potatoes, or jello salad. Were you invited by a neighbor, or did you get a flyer left on your door and decided what the hey?
And my registering as an independent was a misguided but well meaning attempt to rebel against the GOP after they chose Huntsman over Olene Walker, who I loved. Shot my own self in the foot by doing that, as you really have no ability to influence anything as an indie here, but ah well, lesson learned. But my views don't mesh 100% with either party anyway, so I feel contentedly at home in my current political status.

Actually back then, there weren't as many common chassis and drive trains as there are now. Each division actually had its own engines and drive trains
Available V-8's by division in 1963;
Buick - 215, 364, 401, 425
Cadillac - 390
Chevy - 283, 327, 409, 427
Oldsmobile - 215, 394
Pontiac - 326, 389
