Dems crow about the early voting numbers in Illinois:
* So far, 298,113 Illinois voters have cast ballots including 174,739 Democrats (58.6% of those who have voted so far) and 83,166 Republicans (27.9%). (Note: Illinois does not have party registration, so Democrats are defined as those who have voted in a Democratic...
In a massive ocean of crazy, Tom Tancredo manages to once again rise above the rest.

Pretty good and potentially really bad news out of Colorado today via Public Policy Polling. First the really bad.
Tom Tancredo continues to surge as Dan Maes' support completely collapses in the Colorado Governor's race and John Hickenlooper now leads the race by only a 47-44 margin with Maes getting 5%.

I started thinking, is there anywhere in the country that doesn't have a competitive race within easy driving distance?
First of all, there are the states with competitive top-of-the-ticket statewide races. (S) means Senate, (G) is Governor, (H) is an at-large House seat.
Alaska (S), Arizona (G), California (S,G), Colorado (S,G), Connecticut (S,G),...
Since hapless GOP governor candidate Dan Maes has refused to be bribed off of the ballot by the state GOP, the GOP has apparently decided to embrace crazy Tom Tancredo

Well, this is creative of Oregon GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Dudley.

GOP candidate for governor Chris Dudley is looking vulnerable on an issue that helped take down GOP Sen. Gordon Smith back in 2008, the environment.
