Political bits

Wall Street Journal survey finds Dem control might help economy.

McCaskill distances from Talent (51-42,) Sherrod Brown distances from Dewine (54-40) in new SUSA poll.

Larry Sabato speaks of a "Deep Blue Sea."

WaPo has an interesting article on Bush's increasing use of the word "unacceptable."

Bob Ney plead guilty today, and still hasn't resigned. (Maybe later today, maybe in a few weeks?) The Republicans have taken a firm line, though, vowing "to expel convicted Rep. Bob Ney "as our first order of business" after the elections unless he resigns."

(And, just from me, what does it say that in this massive political year we're still only talking about 40 House seats, less than 10% of the total? Gerrymandering, incumbency advantages, PAC's, lobbyist monies..... The system is broken.)
