Just saw private survey -- by a reputable pollster -- that has @SenatorHeitkamp down 4, which makes sense to me given how well she's doing in the "bigger" towns. Going to be a lot of jump balls going into final stretch for control of the Senate. Tsunami will impact all of these.

on Kavanaugh. Standing on principals gets you more votes than abandoning them for personal advantage.

Supporting Manchin again is going to be a bitter pill to swallow if control of the Senate rests on him.

12 points down. Now we have an internal poll where she's 4 pts off. Bi-i-g difference. Her brother was sure the former poll was nonsense. Turns out he was right. In fact, he said in her first election she was presumably 10 points off on election eve yet managed to win. Obviously, those polls were off then as well.

Even if it causes us to lose the Senate, because it will show that even conservative states like real Democrats more than fake Republicans.

Let's not forget Senators McCaskill of Missouri, Donnelly of Indiana, and Tester of Montana, who also took principled stands.
