Wednesday Short Notes

So Pollster.com has the house race 212 for the Republicans and 197 for the Democrats.
Electoral-vote.com has it 212 to 203 with Democrats 51 in the Senate and 47 for the Republicans and two tied (Alaska and Pennsylvania.)

Sharron Angle has a new fund-raiser out saying that Harry Reid was trying to steal the election by handing out Starbucks cards to purchase votes. The Nevada Secretary of State blasted her for these accusations and accused her of ginning up an issue for money. Apparently, she has paid any of her staff for a month. She also told the newspapers she would only talk to them after the election.

The Rand Paul staffer who stomped the woman on the head wants her to apologize. he asaid that he only stomped her because his back hurt. Fox News actually tried to make the woman the aggressor. Rand Paul himself has not made a public statement on this.

This is not an isolated incident. Security people at a Cantor rally here in Virginia arrested a Democrat there ,claiming the rally was private. Oh yes, Christine O'Donnell's attorney threatened to sue a Delaware radio station for airing an interview between the station and her. In fact, the attorney vowed the crush the station. Over the next two years, watch this type of behavior. Our little brownshirts will be trying to intimidate the press and any critics of their favorite leaders.

States are receiving considerable protests about Republican, not Democratic poll watchers and their acts of intimidation and taking photos of license plate numbers and the like. The complaints are getting so widespread that the DNC has now opened a hotline on the subject and the DOJ had to issue a statement that it would pursue both voter fraud and intimidation. The volume of complaints today came from North Carolina and Texas. Machelle Malkin appeared on Fox News to charge the Democrats were trying to steal the election.

Democrats have made a huge media buy for 66 races. On the one hand, this shows they are firing until the bitter end. But it also shows the large number of contested seats in the House, which is not good news for Democrats.

A bit of good news --there are 41 House races now within 5 points in the polls. Will a GOTV effort help swing them?

Put a fork in Meg Whitman, she's done. So says Nate Silver, who also thinks Carly Fiorina is done also. In the Governor's race, Governor Moonbeam has out-debated Whitman. yesterday's Woman Forum showed that. Also, people have Meg Whitman fatigue.

Why on God's creation is the American Chamber of Commerce advertising against the legalization of marijuana proposition? What possible interest do they have? Or do they just have some extra cash leftover from the Arab Banks?

It's nice to see rachel Maddow in Alaska. The courts ruled that the election boards have to take down the list of write-in candidates. The more Miller is around more dirty laundry keeps coming out about him and his past. Rachel's doing a nice thing trying to make it like Scott McAdams has a chance and it's possible. Unfortunately, I think it will come down to the war between the Murkowskis and the Palins. But Scott McAdams could use a donation.

Admiral Sestak really is in the race in Pennsylvania. He and Toomey are tied.
