Erick Erickson is in D.C. to monitor the election for RedState. In this interview Erick offers election eve insight into what is tight and what is not. Worth a listen, I assure you.
In an effort to get this posted, I will forgo a lot of commentary. Here are the highlights–as I heard them:
Voter turnout: 60%! I thought it was supposed to be above 75%. Early voting always favors the Democrats, but the Republicans will be at the polls in the closing days.
McCain can pull it out if he wins Pennsylvania. It is closer than we think.
Chambliss is vulnerable, Martin could win. Runoff will hurt Chambliss. Criticizes Chambliss’ campaign manager, Tom Perdue.
Barrow (D-12th), Broun (R-10th) and Kingston (R-1st) are safe wins.
Jim Marshall (D-8th) is in a tight race. Voter turnout for Obama in the district will help him. Close!
Erick thinks 2010 will be the year to pick off Marshall, after the Democrats have been in power for 2 years!
In the General Assembly, the Republicans may lose 5 or 6 seats in the House. If they lose more than that, it may impact whether or not Glenn Richardson is Speaker again. The election for Speaker is scheduled for November 10th, quick, quick, before anyone has a chance to gang up on Glenn.
