Senate Races To Watch on November 2nd

The big Mid-Term Elections are on November 2nd and here are the Senate Races you need to watch Tuesday night.

In Washington State:
Dino Rossi (R)
Patty Murray (D)
Patty Murray is the incumbent and hold a very slight lead over Dino Rossi.  That lead is about 48% to 46% at this time but we have a week to go and this one could go either way.

In Nevada:
Sharron Angle (R)
Harry Reid (D)
Jerry Carter (I)
Jeffery Durbin (I)
Wil Stand (NONE)
Scott Ashjian (T) [Tea Party of Nevada]
Recently the polls have gone back and forth with Ms. Angle recently taking a small lead but still about 47% to 45%.

In Colorado:
Ken Buck (R)
Michael Bennet (D)
Bennet and Buck have been in a dead heat tied at 47% for the last 2 weeks.  The decision will be made when it is decided who screwed up most/least.

In Illinois:
Mark Kirk (R)
Alan Giannoulias (D)
LeAlan Jones (G) [Green]
Michael Labno (L) [Libertarian]
Alyson Kennedy (S) [Socialist Workers] {Write-in}
Mark Kirk has been consistently ahead for the past month but still within each polls margin of error.  So for all practical purposes it is still a tossup.  The problem here is the Green/Libertarian/Socialist dilution of voters.  That makes it very difficult for one person to get above 50%.

In West Virginia:
John Raese (R)
Joe Manchin (D)
Jesse Johnson (M) [Mountain Party]
Three weeks ago Raese had a 5 point lead.  Two weeks ago Manchin had a 4 point lead.  Two days ago Raese had a 2 point lead . . . who knows by November 2nd. 

In Pennsylvania:
Pat Toomey (R)
Joe Sestak (D)
Osborn Hart (S) [Socialist] {Write-In}
This is a back and forth race.  On the same day one pose shows an even tie at 46% while other polls show Toomey ahead by up to 8 points.  No poll shows Sestak ahead.  But it shall be interesting.

I feel that the Democrats need to take at least half of these races to keep a majority in the Senate.  Keep this list and watch the fight come Tuesday night.
