2006 ELECTION, II

I have been perusing a number of polls today, mostly on conservative blogs. It looks like Republican control of the Senate may be at stake. The only race showing a Republican lead was in Tennessee. Obviously several races are still within the range of error. Rush is on the radio now heralding a Republican trend, but it looks to me like things have gone the other way. Obviously this is not Tuesday, but I am no longer sure the Republicans will hold on to the Senate. It appears that Rush and some Republicans are dismissing many of these polls, but I don't think we can. Some of the percentages separating candidates are well beyond a margin of error or simply a mistake.

Also Franky Schaeffer (son of the famous theologian-cultural warrior Francis Schaeffer) had an op-ed piece the other day in the Dallas Morning News announcing he was fed up with Senator Allen's (R) campaign in Virginia and was changing his registration to Independent. I have not kept up with Franky's career, but he was on the far-right of most evangelical circles. Either something is happening in his life or the Republican Party.
