Michigan is a case where anything can happen since it is an open seat.

Colorado, though? Udall's running scared between unpopular White House policies and immigration. When an incumbent is polling less than 50%, it's generally not a good sign.

That and an RCP poll shows Udall with only a 2% lead average among all polls.

Peters holds a 5% edge on all polls.

Michigan can easily go Dem. A lot of tards up there. Colorado is pushing back though, against the recent liberalization of that state.

its still early. Cory Gardner is quite conservative, especially on social issues. While he has tried to hide his positions on abortion, gay marriage, cannabis, etc, its going to come out. Too much of a track record, and the personhood amendment is on the ballot (again). In previous years, field organizations have pushed both.

Its not in line with CO which is getting younger, and more liberal. If those voters show up, udall walks in.

Will be interesting to see what the governor's election's impact has on the race, since there will be more activity than your typical mid term election.

Neither Colorado nor Michigan are needed for a republican senate. Arkansas, LA, NC, and Alaska are the battleground states.

Didn't I just hear today that a couple hundred illegals were dropped onto the UP this week?

That should help the Dems.

Do young people ever vote for the people that can help the economy and business get going? Are is it all about social issue's! Hell many of those young people can't find jobs after college much less with even less education. So young people had better wake up.

NBC's analysis points out that the two Democratic candidates are being aided by their strong margins among women voters, with Udall ahead by 12 points among women, and Peters up by 13 points:

The Democratic path to survival in this very difficult midterm season for the party is through women. And that's especially true after the Hobby Lobby decision.

It is still early but I am certain the GOP will find a way to freak it up. The current GOP could cockblock its self with an already paid hooker.

See how easy that was?

The Dems and the media have a symbiotic relationship that makes it soooooooo easy to mislead the retards and take something like the Hobby Lobby decision and work magic with it.

This is why the Republicans are doomed. They have no chance of having a SCOTUS ruling completely and willfully misrepresented in order to provide a nice pop in the polls amongst a select group as in this case.

Republicans are doomed because their economic policies are shite right now and the debt ceiling debacles made enough people learn enough to understand why their economic policies are shite.

Not to mention the current environment where corps and the wealthy have more money than ever and aren't passing it out in the form of raises to the middle class. Huge shocker.

Unfortunately it is the way it is. I want some GOP tax cuts right now. I know it will just jack up the debt, but I want to get mine now.

The Hobby Lobby decision is an especially bogus issue. They cover most forms of contraception. There are a few they don't, but so what? Every other prescription has cost sharing and limited options.

If you don't know better, it's understandable but you need to educate yourself. If you know better and don't care, you're greedy and selfish and don't deserve to be taken seriously.

Democrates richer than republicans. Looks like they are an issue for you. Need to vote another way.

Lil more than that in the quote but I wouldn't expect for some right wing clown to be able to digest it.

The problem is that the Dem economic plan is ALSO shite.

So, we have two shitty parties lying and obfuscating to get the privilege of foisting shitty plans on the lied to.

Never been called a "right winger" before.

Not sure where that puts you.
