its so partisan that I think most of the senate races will go the way of the presidential race.

I still think Carmona in Arizona could potentially pull off a win, so "none".

Either McCaskill or Brown. I'd say more likely McCaskill than Brown because she has less crossover voters to get plus a radioactive opponent, but I don't expect either to win.

How is McCaskill winning defying gravity? McCaskill has been winning since Akin opened his mouth.

I think Donnelley, McCaskill, and Heller are all better than even odds to win and "defy gravity".  Tester has a chance, but he's not favored; everyone else would be a pretty clear upset.

If Florida goes for Romney than Bill Nelson fits in this category too (since he is almost certain to win).

Donnelly is a heavy favorite to win and really shouldn't have been included in this poll. McCaskill is favored too, and has been for some time.

Senator Berkley is the answer. I don't know why Dean Heller is included in this poll considering everyone foolishly anticipates he'll win.

I feel Mourdock and Akin should be on here instead.

For some reason, I think Akin could still pull this off. I think this is going to be like gay marriage polls - people don't really want to say over the phone that they're voting for Akin because of his comments, but when they get into the polling place, they go ahead and vote for him.

McCaskill and Donnelly have both been winning for weeks (months for McCaskill), so them winning would not be defying gravity.

Yeah, McCaskill and Donnelly are favored, and Tester and Heller are pure tossups.

I'm an optimist, so I wanted to vote for Rich Carmona. I voted for Donnelly though.

"Defying gravity" by winning in states their party's presidential candidate will lose, right?

1. McCaskill
2. Heller
3. Donelly.

Toss-up: Tester.

Looks like Heidi Heitkamp or maybe Tester were the best answers here.  Actually neither of those races have been called yet, extremely close.  Is there reason to hope they'll turn out well? (current slight leads for the good side in both states)

I voted for Heitkamp for good karma. Looks like it paid off Cheesy

The votes are all in and Heitkamp's won, for now, but there's a mandatory recount process in North Dakota when things are this close. Berg's not conceding, but he's got almost three thousand votes to make up; I doubt it's in the cards for him.

Not sure about Montana.

All those who got more than 2 votes in this poll won, and all those who got 1 or 2 lost. Good job, forum. Wink
