Only a month ago, Bruce Lunsford looked like a bad bet to unseat the most powerful Republican on Capitol Hill. A businessman who twice failed to become Kentucky's governor, Democrat Lunsford seemed not much of a match for minority leader Mitch McConnell, who has spent 24 years in the Senate. McConnell's campaign has raised nearly $18 million, while Lunsford had to loan $5.5 million to his. But where polls as recently as mid-September were showing Lunsford running 13 or more points behind McConnell, several since then suggest the race is a dead heat, and the national Democratic...
Even before the political landscape turned toxic, Republicans were struggling. They are defending nearly twice as many seats as are the Democrats and were hit by a wave of retirements. What makes the turnabout more striking is that the Democratic challengers aren't particularly strong candidates. Several are inexperienced; others are more liberal than their states.

It was not long until she made her way to Greenwich Village at a time when residence all but required one to be a bard or a banjo player. She was beautiful, too. “Karen was tall, willowy, had straight black hair, was long-waisted and slender, what we all wanted to look like,” Lacy J. Dalton, a self-described “hard-luck” chanteuse and former fellow West Villager, has said. She could certainly sing...
...statistical dead heat. For the first time, Feeney lost the endorsement of his hometown newspaper, the Orlando Sentinel, which noted on October 12 that Feeney's power has waned, his "hard-right ideology" [on issues like immigration reform, energy policy and the bailout bill, which he voted against twice] would make him irrelevant in Democrat-majority House and that the community has a capable alternative in Kosmas...
