Kendrick Meek In Position to Win, Added to Expand the Map!

{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru. You can contribute to terrific Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate via the Expand the Map! ActBlue page.}

Recent polling from Public Policy Polling and Research 2000 suggests that Democratic Congressman Kendrick Meek is in terrific position to win Florida's 2010 U.S. Senate race. With Republican Marco Rubio well ahead of primary challenger Charlie Crist in the polls, but far behind on fundraising, Rubio will likely emerge victorious from the primary, but out of campaign funds and politically badly bruised, as well as positioned to the extreme right ideologically. Congressman Meek, on the other hand, is steadily campaigning and fundraising and will be well-positioned for the general election.

As such, Senate Guru has added Congressman Meek's campaign to its Expand the Map! ActBlue fundraising page, which has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Democratic candidates for Senate in the 2008 and current 2010 cycles.

To kick off the addition of Congressman Meek, we're looking to start off with just $100 raised to get the ball rolling. Just five $20 contributions would be a great start! Can you chip in $20?

Visit the Expand the Map! ActBlue page to chip in if you can!

I'd like to see another poll or two
confirming this, before coming to any preliminary conclusions about Meek's chances. I'm still a bit skeptical.

FWIW
The PPP and R2K polls were astoundingly similar in their numbers.

I really hope Meek wins
Who knows, maybe the dems will net gain some senate seats instead of net loose some?

We can hold PA, IN, IL, AR (if Halter wins Primary), CO

We will probably loose ND, and possible loss in NV

But I don't know about NV, if HCR is successfull and becomes popular, maybe Reid will be rewarded with another term as Majority leader.

I still think FL, KY, MO, OH and NH could seriously turn blue if the candidates run their campaigns correctly.

2010 will be very interesting to say the least.

Kentucky looks bad
But I agree on the others.  Missouri should be a pickup, Ohio is about even money, New Hampshire could be ours if the environment changes even a little bit, and Florida has all the makings of a good general election situation.

North Dakota's gone, and Delaware and Arkansas are bad situations.  The key to a good Senate cycle will be holding Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Nevada, and Indiana, all blue states in 2008.
