A rather stunning poll result:
PPP’s first look at the West Virginia Senate contest finds a very tight race with John Raese up 46-43 on Joe Manchin, a result within the poll’s margin of error.
The contest provides a fascinating choice for voters in the state who love their Democratic Governor but hate the party’s ranks in Washington DC that he would be joining…
It could well be that the people of West Virginia end up saying, “we love ya, Joe, but we don’t want to send you to DC to help Obama”.
As of right now, I can only see two Democrat Senators who are in any way “safe” for 2010 – in Maryland and New York, and I do believe we even have an outside chance in Maryland. Of open seats, only Delaware offers a bit of hope for Democrats (though, even there, the path for victory remains very open for the GOP). This is the stuff of political tsunamis.
We’ll have to see how it all comes out…
