The Crystal Ball

Posted at 8:16 AM on March 30, 2006 by Bob Collins (1 Comments)

Political wag Larry Sabato in his Crystal Ball today says things continue to look OK for Democrats in November, although he says things have stabilized and the Dems are playing with fire on the censure issue, which he calls "a left wing fantasy."

"What's good for Feingold '08 is poison for Democrats in '06," Sabato says.

For some reason, whenever I read the censure stories, I recall the Kucinich delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Boston threatening to scuttle the attempt by Kerry forces for a unanimous nomination.

Anyway, back to Sabato. Lots of good stuff in there. Governorwise, he's still saying Minnesota is leaning Republican, Wisconsin solid Democrat (Rasmussen yesterday had Doyle up by 5), North Dakota likely Democrat; no changes on any of those.

You may want to re-read Sabato. He has both MN and WI as "lean" incumbent party.

(Bob notes: Correct. Sorry. Minnesota as lean Republican, Wisconsin as lean Democrat.)
