From the AP via Rasmussen:
Confident of keeping a seat, Senate Republicans are canceling $4 million in TV ads for Florida’s Marco Rubio to put more money toward winning a trio of Democratic-held seats — in California, Pennsylvania and Illinois — where polls show races tightening.
The moves are just the latest in a constantly shifting battleground as Republicans seek to take advantage of a political tail wind by broadening their footprint. Democrats are narrowing their focus to places they must win to keep their Senate and House majorities…
The contest now isn’t whether the GOP will win, or not, but how big the GOP win will be. The Democrats are shifting money to save embattled incumbents, while the GOP is moving resources to better attack entrenched Democrats. California is especially important as it (or Murray’s seat in Washington) might end up being the 10th net gain for the GOP, thus giving them the Senate majority (which is still a very high hill to climb…the more likely outcome is 48 or 49 Senate Republicans) – latest polling shows Boxer in CA slightly up, a big push now could knock her down.
What do I think will happen? I think there will be more GOP voters on November 2nd than the polling takes in to consideration…any Democrat not up at least 5 points in the last week is probably going to lose. Now, then, is the time to really hammer the Democrats – give them no rest and keep them down and their base dispirited.
UPDATE: What we should be doing, given the enthusiasm gap.
