One more note on that Pew poll that I mention below. It gives some evidence that Kerry’s “botched joke” is hurting Democrats, at least marginally:
That 18 percent may not seem like a lot, but if even a small percentage of independents break toward the Republican candidate in close races, it could make a difference. Control of the Senate will be decided by tossups in four red states (Montana, Tennessee, Virginia and Missouri).
