      1. weird how when the right had all the money things were ok. Now that the left has proven it can raise big money too – people like AC whine and complain. I would prefer no outside money in politics at all. But you play with the rules you have until the rules can be changed.

        1. What's really got AC and the GOTPer's wetting their diapers is that not only are Dems outraising Repugs, but they are doing it through thousands of individuals donating their hard-earned money.

          I even gave to 3 federal campaigns over the weekend, so disgusted with the toxic waste dump the Republican Party has become.

    1. Not surprising. Personally I was never a huge Polis fan. Has his upside and his downside for sure. If I lived in his district I wouldn't have a problem voting for him, though. His stands have always struck me as all over the place depending mainly on self interest but with a whole lot more overlap with my own self interest than would be the case with any R. 

      1. Aw come on be nice – he is desperate. Supporting con man cory is tough to do. He flip flops so much from day to day. I guess it just depends which way the wind is blowing in Yuma.

    1. RMGO will go off the rails over this.  I;m sure that in their eyes, the passengers on that Malaysia Airlines jet gave their lives for the Second Amendment.  I can hear Sarah Palin now, "Obama is politicizing another tragedy to take away our freedoms."

    1. If he's losing, why does the paper have the race listed as a tossup?  They don't have him losing; their most recent tracking has him behind unlike the rest of the tracking which had him ahead.  Please lie better.

      1. Rolling the Dice

        With these state-by-state probabilities in hand, our machine randomly simulates all 36 Senate elections. Give it a try below. The spinners are calibrated to the current probabilities we’ve calculated for each state. We let the states move together to some extent, but you’ll no doubt occasionally see some surprising results — over 20 percent of the time, at least one of the races we call “likely” will be won by the opposite party.     This is their method of predicting the senate races. What could possibly go wrong with this?

      2. PCat,

        Acceptance is difficult.

        Colorado: 53% Republican

        Louisiana 53% Republican

        Iowa and Alaska are even.

        Toss up was defined as one party having less than a 65% chance of winning.

        The poll has a total of 6 toss ups as so defined.

          1. BTW, AC, since you've brought up RCP, they're poll averaging still has Udall at +1.  Anything within a couple of points either way is toss up, not losing.  We'll see who moves where in the coming months but it's really hard to win a statewide election  while losing with   women by very large margins. You know, the women who overwhelmingly vote against personhood every chance they get?

        1. It's not about acceptance.  I care about data.  The data show him currently polling below Gardner.  The paper also put his race in the tossup category, I'd expect because Gardner's current polling is newly higher and close to the margin and Udall has polled better in the past.

          If polls consistently show Udall losing by enough to be outside the margin of error, I'll happily concede that he appears to be losing.  What I can't accept is the bullshit spin you're applying to the numbers.

            1. ummm… puppy, RCP isn't a poll. It's a site that, among other things, gives results of various polls, including the Marist, the Q, the Gallup, the PPP, Razz, various network polls, etc. and offers an average result as well.  I can't figure out whether you and Modster are the same person, a paired program or twins separated at birth.
