There are some polling data and some anecdotal evidence of severe buyers' remorse. So where ever you poll, I'd like to see some questions about that.

LePage, the state legislature which shifted from all Dem to all GOP last year, and on some of the controversial legislation recently considered by the legislature (eliminating same-day voting, weakening child labor laws). Also, the press has been reporting that pro-gay marriage activists are considering putting the issue on the ballot next year. A question on that would be appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-74555782235619249072011-06-29T11:06:52.118-05:002011-06-29T11:06:52.118-05:00it be nice to test New Jersey, I see a lot of diss...it be nice to test New Jersey, I see a lot of dissatisfaction among Democratic voters in the state since the pension and health bill was passed thru a Dem Legislature that i think its possible now for the GOP to win the Senate and Presidency due to Dems staying homeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-48731749696364833262011-06-28T22:12:57.060-05:002011-06-28T22:12:57.060-05:00UtahUtahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-29007477247394388482011-06-28T21:51:44.370-05:002011-06-28T21:51:44.370-05:00There's a poll out in Alaska that has Obama be...There's a poll out in Alaska that has Obama beating Palin.<br /><br />I'd also be curious who the GOP there go for if Palin is out, or if she is in for that matter.coolidgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668133863462063111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-81901253041552856802011-06-28T18:16:28.548-05:002011-06-28T18:16:28.548-05:00I think at least some of the requests for Indiana ...I think at least some of the requests for Indiana and North Dakota were from people being as serious as the one who asked for polls of Burma.

I'd also love to see if Snowe is safe to the primary challenge or if ME would like a more conservative alternate. In terms of Utah, does chaffetz have a shot in a primary against Hatch.
