.... One week after the Democratic group Senate Majority PAC announced that they would spend $2 million in the Wisconsin Senate race, Politico reports that they've added another $1.5 million for the final days. Both sides have made some sizable final week buys as Democrat Russ Feingold's lead over Republican Sen. Ron Johnson looks much less secure than it did even a month ago.
Despite the sudden interest in this contest, polling has been very limited here. Marquette Law School, which has a strong track record in Wisconsin, released a survey a few days ago showing Feingold up just 45-44, even as Hillary Clinton led 46-40. On Friday, a PPP poll for the liberal Center of America Progress had a better result for Team Blue, giving Feingold a 49-44 edge as Clinton led 48-41. The last PPP poll we'd seen here was a mid-October survey for the liberal organization End Citizens United that had him leading by a similar 47-41 margin.
Loras College is also out with a poll giving Feingold a small 47-45 lead, with Clinton up 44-38. ...

If Wisconsin turns their back on Feingold I'll be shocked. Then again, it is the same state that got a do-over on douchebag Scott Walker and made the same mistake a 2nd time.
