Huh. That's interesting. Not that Franken is going to lose (Minnesota elections usually seem to be close, minus Amy Klobuchar), just interesting.

Also, for the GOP primary McFadden (the party's endorsed candidate) probably has it in the bag; he's got 44% to State Rep. Jim Abeler's 16%.

Franken does a bit better against Abeler (winning 48-39).

I still find this interesting. In a PRESIDENTIAL year with higher turnout, Franken won microscopically, but now he is cruising. Same with Dayton. He barely won in a midterm year. What gives?

They are now Democratic incumbents in a Democratic state? And were originally elected against a Republican incumbent, and in an open seat?

I happen to have a personal tie to the McFadden campaign, which I won't reveal out of respect for this individuals privacy, but I have more confidence in this campaign making it close than any other campaign out there. I don't quite think McFadden will win, but he'll give Franken one hell of a race with his team.

I was confident that this race would tighten months ago, and here we are now!! Smiley.

Franken was running against a fairly popular incumbent; Dayton was running in 2010/. Now both are popular.

The national environment will need to change for this to become close, but it is good to see that we have at least have a decent candidate here. Might force the Democrats to spend a bit of $$$ that would have gone elsewhere.

I did a basic search of Mike McFadden, and most of what I could find is one ad and a really terrible Press Conference, so its a miracle that he's so close.

Like I said, he's got a good staff.
