Crist's Fan beating Scott

++St. Leo's University has Charlie Crist at 43 and Rick Scott at 40 and Andrew Wyllie at 8. 9 percent are undecided. At this stage of the election, can anyone find 9percent undecided.

++The FBI dropped a bombshell on the South Dakota Senate race today saying their investigation into Mike Rounds is very active. Newspapers in South Dakota have raised the issue of how to replace Rounds if he is elected when he is indicted.

++Mitch McConnell released an internal poll showing he's 8 points ahead just as the Democratic Senate Committee has thrown more funds back into the Grimes' race.

++George H.W. Bush has backed teabagger Le Page in Maine. Unfortunately, he's venerated there.

++Polls show that likely voters now prefer that the GOP wins the Senate citing the GOP's edge on almost all issues that are a priority. Chris Matthews said that the shootings n Canada have given the GOP an edge on the terrorism issue. Say what? But this election has become the Ebola,ISIS, terrorism election even though none of the elected officials will have any say in these issues.

++The Democrats better pray their GOTV campaign succeeds. The GOP has copied their success and with billions hope to counter this. This mid-term now is the most expensive in history.

++The flap du jour among the right is John Kerry appointing Gary Hart as the new envoy to Ireland.The right strangely forgets that Gary Hart was and is actually strong on national security.

++I am still getting two dozen e-mails per day asking for campaign funding. Does admitting you are losing,that all is lost, bring in any bucks.

++This election for me is pretty uneventful. Mark Warner is running as my Senator and my Williams classmate and former Ambassador Don Beyer is running as my congressman. Living in Virginia for 20 years,I still don't know what my Senators do. Republican or Democrat.

++I do look forward to America's Governor winning again. Governor Moonbeam,political Zen Master, Jerry Brown.

++Hillary is supposed to announce her candidacy soon after the mid-terms. I guess to raise the spirits of a depressed Democratic base.

++The pundits are already putting this election in the can but the pollsters are debating how inaccurate mid-term polls are. Wang and Nate Silver have been at it for the past week. And they think they are off. Could be by a lot and could favor one party or another but no one will know until after the votes are cast.

++Fun scenarios like the Senate not being known until January are probably not going to happen.
