Since I was writing about polls, I thought I would discuss another shocker: the Wisconsin Senate race where Russ Feingold is losing by 2% in the latest poll. For most of the last year, Wisconsin has been listed in the column of sure wins by Democrats in the Senate. Feingold has been relatively popular in Wisconsin. The state of country is such, however, that Feingold may well be on the way out. A loss by Feingold would be a sign that the GOP actually could take control of the Senate.
One thing is certain, however. Even if the Republicans only come close to taking control this time, they will be in position to get control in 2012. In 2012 and 2014, two thirds of the senators up for election will be Democrats. While this does not mean that the GOP will pick up seats, it does mean that the Dems will mostly be playing defense. In normal years, this would mean a pick up for the GOP.
