Tight Senate Races

by Steven Millman

Control of the Senate is riding a razor’s edge and these are the tightest Senate races in the nation. With two weeks left they need your financial support and they need it now! OK, lets’s not forget control of the White House either. Read below to see what’s going on. Also, take a look at http://www.electoral-vote.com/ for the most up-to-date polling information.

Kerry/Edwards

President

What can I say? If ever there was a clear choice, it is with this race. Dead heat with recent trending favoring Kerry. If the race were held today, and the most recent polling data were accurate, Kerry would actually win! He needs your support right away.

This election has ended.

Brad Carson

OK-Sen (Map)

Democratic Congressman Brad Carson is facing former Republican Congressman Tom Coburn who won a bitter primary fight full of nasty allegations about questionable land deals. This is a heavily Republican state, but Coburn has a track record of saying reckless things he later tries to unsay, such as his recent lesbians in the bathroom comment. Bush is winning OK by a margin of 61-31, but the most recent poll has Carson and Coburn in a statistical dead heat. He’s a fighter that needs your support!

This election has ended.

Dan Mongiardo

KY-Sen (Map)

Incumbent Sen. Jim Bunning® should have won handily, but his behavior has been increasingly bizarre of late. He said that his opponent looked like one of Saddam’s sons. Then he broke the agreement to debate Mongiardo in Kentucky and did it from the RNC headquarters in Washington by satellite. It later came out that he was reading from a TelePrompTer, which led to instant speculation that he was having serious mental problems. Two weeks before the election, it became a tossup. Most recent poll – Statistical dead heat.

This election has ended.

Tony Knowles

AK-Sen (Map)

When Sen. Frank Murkowski was elected governor in the middle of his Senate term, he searched far and wide over this vast state to find the best possible successor. Shockingly, he decided she was his daughter, Lisa. Not everyone in normally Republican Alaska was thrilled by this, and when former governor Tony Knowles got the Democratic nomination, it became a real horse race. Most recent poll – Statistical dead heat.

This election has ended.

Tom Daschle

SD-Sen (Map)

In the clubby Senate, having one party go after the jugular of the other party’s leader was Not Done. Until this year. The Republicans have launched an all out effort to defeat Minority Leader Tom Daschle in this heavily Republican state. Most recent poll – Statistical dead heat.

This election has ended.
