No matter what the ostensible rightwing polls are showing,
I think that the Reeps own internal polling is showing them
losing many downstate battles.

They now feel that they need to get home and work on
those campaigns.

This is a good sign for Dems but only if they take advantage
of it and wage serious and sustained campaigns in their
respective states.

They've got a nasty planned for the American people and want the election over before they (both sides, IMO) spring draconian cuts ala Simpson-Bowles
tweaks of SS, and medicare.
