Indiana and Missouri now Leaning Dem on map @ www.FiveThirtyEight.com
Check it out. And the Senate sCORECARD now has Democrats picking up as many as 8 Republican seats, which would take them one short of filibuster-blocking 60 (with Sanders and Lieberman): AK (bye-bye Stevens), MN (Coleman), NC (Dole) OR (Smith), NH (Sununu), CO (Schaeffer), NM (Pearce), VA (Gilmore).
Nate Silver has comments on the huge North Carolina voter reg surge
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/...
that parallels comments yesterday evening from Barry Welsh, CD06 Democratic Congressional candidate in Muncie-Anderson-New Castle-
Richmond-Connersville area with a Cook PVI of R+11 about early voting in three central Indiana congressional districts (I'm guessing also CD04 and CD07).
Republicans have been trying to block convenient early-voting centers in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago (CD01), which will be heavily pro-Obama. See http://www.blueindiana.net/...
So with these encouraging signs about better Democratic prospects to carry Indiana for Barack Obama and Jill Long Thompson and retire all four Republican Congresspersons -- Mike Pence, Steve Buyer, Mark Souder, and Dan Burton -- what's your take on it? Will you visit Central Indiana in the next three weeks (nicer weather than the holidays, btw) and phone-bank or canvass for one of these four fine Democratic congressional candidates who will end the Iraq disaster, expand healthcare coverage, restore the American manufacturing base, and bring about tax justice?
