Polling fun!
Pollster.com has made it super-easy to embed polls into blogs. There's a few I might keep updated in the coming week, just because it feels good to see Webb giving Allen a run for his money.



Ford, who is not my favorite Democrat but does sound like a progressive when it comes to healthcare and taxes, is also giving Corker a good run.



McCaskill is also looking better in Missouri. The senate is looking like more of a possibility.


On the bad news side, Republican LiebesBush looks like he's going to win against Lamont. Although I feel this polling has to be pretty soft. I can't imagine all those GOP voters getting mobilized to vote for a guy that they've opposed for the last 3 elections, especially not in the current anti-incumbent environment.



Lamont, to his credit, is going down fighting, and with ads like this and the potential for these polls to be very very far off in terms of gauging GOP motivation, he might win after all.



Besides, LiebesBush would probably just join the Republicans if he won again. Whether or not he calls himself a Democrat, his record has been one of undermining his party for the detriment of the country.

So check out pollster.com. Their maps are pretty neat and are showing some hopeful signs. Overall, it looks like we're going to have 29 Democratic governors, with one independent and 20 Republicans. The Senate is looking like it will be at least 49 Democrats, 48 Republicans and 3 are tossups. The house is looking like 221 Democrat, 188 Republican with 26 in tossup. Even if every tossup goes Republican, it would still be a narrow lead in the house.

I really enjoyed the fact that they made Lieberman about 4 1/2 feet tall in that ad. Nice touch.
