Benenson Research Group (D)- Ford expands lead to six points.

Ford ahead by 6, (D) pollsters. Possibly 1 or 2, maybe 3. See if this is confirmed by non-partisan pollsters

Why do Dems get so excited over this, but try to ignore that Kean has lead the last SIX polls! 

Even I can answer that one. No one cares if Menendez loses while everyone under the sun thinks the world of Ford. Besides, do you really trust NJ to elect a Republican anything???

There are 2 things everyone is overlooking: 1) Bredesen will win his reelection easily and 2) TN isn't as conservative leaning as you might think. The state house there is Democratic(or split 50-50).

Surprisingly, according to the 2004 CNN exit poll, 47% of Tennessee respondents identified themselves as conservative (the most of any state)

It's Democratic congressional delegation trends populist rather than liberal

Coz their being selective... with any luck both Kean and Ford will be in the Senate next January

Well, I'm rooting for Ford, I just don't get it with Kean Jnr and while I'm far from enamored with Menendez, after much thought, he has my backing. Were the Democrats a Senate majority, I might have felt differently. I'm not adverse to backing moderate Republicans
