Political bits

Chuck Todd at the National Journal, "It now looks as if the Democrats are poised to win the 15 seats they need to win control of Congress." (Of their "hot races" the first 30 are all Republican held seats. The first Dem charts in at 39, and there are only 5 Dem seats in the list of 60.)

CQ gently agrees. (Although they have so many in "toss up"(all Republican seats) they're not stating it outright.) It's all going to be turnout.

Barron's, on the other hand, is predicting only 8 seats to Dems. (But to get there, they have to "disagree with pollsters of both parties," so....)

Lieberman's campaign suddenly refuses to release their ledger after previously volunteering to do so. (This after Lamont complains to the FEC.)

Chris Bowers tries to Google bomb Republican candidates.

Later: The WaPo has an article saying independents plan to vote 59/31 for the Dems. (A lot more numbers in the article.)

Chicago's voter database was hacked as an example by a public advocacy group.
