Surprise pick(s)?

[Eraserhead]

Does anyone think that Linda McMahon could pull off an upset? Polls have been moving towards her in the past few days, and she claims her internals show a dead heat.

Haha, no.

I'll put down McAdams and Feingold for my surprise picks.

Bennett in Colorado

Fiorina in Kal-E-FORN-Ya

If I knew I'd get both....I'd be happy to support that trade.

Anybody with an IQ higher than a basketball would make that trade

So only basketballs are against having their job offshored?

[Sbane]

Buck is far better than Fiorina.

Ya but it's a three way deal, getting Fiorina IN means Boxer is OUT

I'd trade Buck to get rid of Boxer.....

Fiorina would be unbearable.  I'd rather have Buck.

She's be a party line vote for the most part....but that's worth it to get rid of Boxer, IMO.

Except for maybe abortion rights, what else is so extreme/bad about her?

If I were a betting man, I'd put some money on Scott McAdams winning, possibly after a lengthy court battle over Murkowski's votes.

He faces long odds, but I'd probably take them.

A pro-lifer winning statewide in California would disturb me.

I'm not aware that either of the major party candidates (for governor or senate) is pro-life.

They both are.

In the Senate, there really are no "likely" surprises, except for certain folks under- or over-performing.

For Governor, I'd watch NH and SC for reasonably large shockers.  Lesser shockers would include CO, MA (Patrick has had a pretty clear ceiling at 47% and Indys tend to underperform) and RI (where the polls never work properly).

In the House, there will always be a few shockers based on the power of the wave, presuming one occurs (though it seems almost certain now).

They both are.

Who? I know that Meg Whitman and Barbara Boxer are both pro-choice, and I don't know about either of their opponents, but I'm sure they are as well.
