46. No chance... but we might pick up a Senate seat

Tue Sep 11, 2012, 11:01 PM

Sep 2012

We've got a Blue Dog (Joe Donnelly) up against teabagger Richard Mourdock, whose campaign is all over the place. He knocked out Lugar by pledging no compromise (famously defining his version of "bipartisanship" as forcing Democrats to go along with Republican proposals), and is now running ads asserting that he's just the guy to "reach across the aisle" and get things done. They were neck and neck in the polls.
