Political trends

Via Sully, news that Mitch McConnell is in a tight race. Lot of Republicans say they will vote for McCain, but not McConnell. Also, and I don't remember where I saw this, but looked like Al Franken was very close to Coleman in Minnesota--and that is surprising.

Also from Sully, this quote on the problem facing McCain.

"One of the main reasons John McCain is facing such an tough job today is that we are now in the sixth year of a war that the president of his own party started by mistake. That's a major headwind when you're running for president; an error of that magnitude will exact a political price. Would anyone be surprised if voters say that they've had enough?" - Byron York, NRO.

More and more Republicans are willing to call this war what it is--a mistake?
