BruinKid's Senate race rankings
by BruinKid, Tue May 27, 2008 at 04:52:45 AM EDT
So with less than half a year to go, it's time for another look at all the 2008 Senate races. There are 35 seats up for election because of a scenario in Wyoming and Mississippi where both seats are up, due to the passing of Craig Thomas and the resignation of Trent Lott, respectively. Now obviously, quite a few of the races are considered "safe" for the incumbent. So I'll rank these in terms of tiers. The top tier will be the races where the party holding the seat has a real shot of switching. The second tier are races that could become top tier races, but are not at this point. Tier III are ones where a major event would need to happen for the seat to come into play. And the safe seats? Well, Mike Gravel has a better shot at winning the presidency than those incumbents have of losing their races.
Follow me below the fold for all the races. This is meant to be a primer for both newcomers and political junkies alike, so some of the information may seem repetitive for you junkies out there. Also see my previous March diary to see what things have changed since my last update.
First off, whenever I refer to fundraising numbers in the races, I'm using the latest numbers we know of, from the end of March 2008. "Q1" refers to the period of January to March 2008, the most recent quarter that we have the fundraising numbers for. Major hat tip to Senate Guru for putting all the numbers in an easy to read table format.
Tier I
1. Virginia: Incredibly popular former Governor Mark Warner (D) is running for this seat that opened up when John Warner (R), no relation, announced his retirement. Warner left the governorship with a whopping 80% approval rating. That's freaking unheard of. He'll face another former Governor, Jim Gilmore (R), who some of you may remember tried running for President last year. Gilmore was known as the governor who helped drive the state into near-bankruptcy with his car tax cut, and Warner as the one who fixed the problem when he took over for Gilmore. Rasmussen Reports still shows Warner CRUSHING Gilmore, 55%-37%. And oh yeah, Warner also raised over $2.5 million in Q1, while Gilmore only raised a little over $400,000. To top it off, Gilmore's been burning through the little cash he got, and now barely has $200,000 left, which is more than $4 million less than what Warner's sitting on. This seat's about as safe as you're gonna get.
2. New Mexico: Rep. Tom Udall (D) announced for this seat shortly after Pete Domenici (R) announced his retirement. Yes, he is part of the famed Udall political family; his father Stewart served as Interior Secretary under JFK, and his uncle Mo was an Arizona Congressman for 30 years, also running for President in 1976. Stewart Udall was largely responsible for just about all the environmental laws that were passed in the 1960s. The GOP side features a primary fight between Reps. Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce that's been getting nastier lately. So the entire New Mexico U.S. House delegation is running for this Senate seat! Lots of good recent polling news for Udall pushes this race into the number 2 spot, as Rasmussen shows Udall crushing both opponents by at least 15 points each, and SurveyUSA shows him getting at least 60% in the polls and destroying both challengers by at least 24 points each! Now, once the GOP settles on a nominee, expect a "unity bounce" to occur, which should trim Udall's massive leads a bit. But if the polls still show the GOP candidate under 40% even then, it won't be much of a race. Combine that with Udall having three times the cash on hand as Pearce and Wilson combined, and Udall would be number 1 on the list if it weren't for Mark Warner.
3. New Hampshire: John Sununu (R) is about to become 2008's version of Rick Santorum. Democrats could run a ham sandwich against him, and it would be a competitive race. But why settle for a ham sandwich when you can run the former governor? Jeanne Shaheen (D), who Sununu beat in 2002 thanks to some illegal phone-jamming on Election Day for which several GOP operatives went to prison, has led Sununu in every single poll taken in 2008. The latest Rasmussen poll has her leading 50%-43%. A general rule of thumb: any incumbent polling under 50% in an election poll is in trouble. Add to that, the fact New Hampshire strongly went blue in 2006 all over the place, kicking out both Republican Congressmen and flipping over 80 seats in the state House, giving Democrats control of both state legislature for the first time since 1910, and Sununu has to be considered the most endangered incumbent. The only thing keeping this race from being tied at number 2 is that while Shaheen outraised Sununu in the 1st quarter, Sununu still has a significant cash on hand advantage of $4.3 million, compared to Shaheen's $1.8 million. That money will probably make this race closer, but given how much New Hampshire has changed, I'm not sure that money advantage is really going to help Sununu all that much.
4. Colorado: Wayne Allard (R) kept his pledge of only serving two terms, and is retiring from the Senate. Democrats have cleared the path for Rep. Mark Udall here. He's Mo Udall's son, and Tom Udall's cousin. On the GOP side, former Rep. Bob Schaffer is the likely nominee. Colorado has been trending bluer recently, picking up a Senate seat in 2004 (Ken Salazar), and a congressional district and the governor's office in 2006. Schaffer had previously lost the GOP primary for that Senate seat back in 2004 to Pete Coors. At the end of Q1, Udall was sitting on a $4.2 million warchest, with Schaffer trailing by half that amount. Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams (no, really, that's his name) got Allard first elected to the Senate, and became a rising start in the GOP for managing John Thune's 2004 win over Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle in South Dakota. But, he was also in charge of managing George Allen's 2006 re-election bid in Virginia, sending him from a 20-point lead seven months out to defeat. (Allen revealing his inner racist greatly helped, too.) And now it seems that Wadhams has been flipping out at local reporters. Then, the latest Schaffer ad was supposed to show Pike's Peak, a mountain in Colorado. However, the footage in the commercial was actually of Mt. McKinley in Alaska. D'oh! Combine that with Schaffer now being inexorably tied to Jack Abramoff and human rights abuses on the Marianas Islands, and can you say "imploding campaign"? Recent Rasmussen polling shows Udall opening up a 47%-41% lead over Schaffer now, with Schaffer's numbers dropping by a point for each of the last four months. Udall's favorability ratings are also on the rise, while Schaffer's are going in the opposite direction.
5. North Carolina:Kay Hagan easily won her primary two weeks ago, and suddenly the polls have been showing a massive shift in favor of Hagan. Last month she was trailing Elizabeth Dole (R) by double digits. Well, no more. After winning the primary, check out the bounce! SurveyUSA has Dole only up 50%-46% (while underestimating black turnout), and Rasmussen has Hagan leading Dole 48%-47%! What's more, Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm specializing in North Carolina polling, shows (.pdf) Dole up 48%-43%, and Civitas Institute (a Republican polling firm) shows Dole only up 45%-43%. These recent polls all show the race to be neck-and-neck now. As a result, Dole has fired her campaign manager and brought gubernatorial candidate Bill Graham's campaign manager, who managed Graham to a 3rd place finish, netting just 9.28% of the vote. Now there's a real winner. In another sign of how much trouble Dole is in, her campaign is asking the DSCC and NRSC not to spend money on her race. Um, isn't that's the whole POINT of those campaign committees? She should know, she headed up the NRSC in 2006 when they lost control of the Senate! She had no problem spending NRSC money in all those key Senate races two years ago. She's only doing this because the DSCC has more than twice the cash on hand as the NRSC does right now. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised at the campaign Hagan is running; after all, she is the niece of the late Lawton Chiles, the longtime Senator and Governor of Florida, who came from behind to win re-election to the governorship in 1994 by defeating Jeb Bush.
6. Alaska: 85-year-old Ted Stevens (R) is seeking a sixth term, but he is in some legal trouble, with the FBI having raided his home last June in connection with possible bribes from Veco Corp., where several executives have already pled guilty to bribing his son Ben, who was the former state senate president. Former Veco CEO Bill Allen admitted some bribe money also went towards Ted Stevens. And Democrats got their top choice when Anchorage mayor Mark Begich entered the race. His father Nick Begich was a former Congressman, who was killed in a plane crash along with House Majority Leader Hale Boggs (D-LA) in 1972. Earlier this month, two polls shocked the establishment, when they both showed Begich leading Stevens. Rasmussen shows Begich leading 47%-45%, and Research 2000 shows Begich leading 48%-43%. Stevens still has a substantially bigger warchest, but after 35 years in the Senate, Stevens is pretty much a known quantity to Alaskans. Look for really negative ads attacking Begich coming soon.
7. Oregon: Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkley (D) won a close primary over lawyer/activist Steve Novick to take on Gordon Smith (R). The two quickly joined forces in a unity event to take on Smith. Smith seemed worried about Merkley, as he spent around $500,000 in attack ads against Merkley before he even won the primary! Now, Smith still sits on a considerable warchest (over $5 million at the end of Q1), but the latest Rasmussen polling, taken before Merkley won his primary, shows Merkley having gained serious ground since early this year, now only trailing Smith 45%-42%. Interestingly enough, an internal DSCC poll also showed the exact same numbers. It will be interesting to see how much of a "unity bounce" Merkley will get in future polling. In an interesting twist, Smith is actually a cousin of the two Udalls running for Senate.
8. Minnesota: Norm Coleman (R) won this seat in 2002 only after Paul Wellstone (D) died just a few weeks before the election. With Mike Ciresi having dropped out, the Democratic nominee looks to be comedian Al Franken. The polls had been steadily favoring Franken, until late April when a story came out that Franken owed $70,000 in back taxes to 17 different states. Now, it turns out that as a traveling comedian, having visited lots of states, he was supposed to pay taxes to those individual states, but paid them instead all to the states he had homes in. As for the fallout, there are very conflicting stories. SurveyUSA had a poll showing 51% of Minnesotans saying Franken should actually withdraw from the race because of this error. But the Star Tribune showed the tax story didn't make much of a difference to 64% of Minnesotans (compared to only 31% in the SurveyUSA poll). At least one of those polls is WAY off. The election polls now show Franken trailing by 7 points to Coleman. Over five months out from the election, it's still way too early to count Franken out simply over this flap, especially given how strongly he was polling against Coleman earlier this year. Plus, Franken did manage to continue his streak of outraising Coleman in Q1. Update: And just like I said, Rasmussen comes out with a new poll today showing Colemans lead has shrunk back to just 2 points, 47%-45%. This race is most definitely winnable.
9. Texas: Democrats got the challenger they wanted to face John Cornyn (R). State rep. and Texas National Guard Lt. Col. Rick Noriega (D) served in Afghanistan after 9/11, and was chosen to coordinate relief efforts in Houston after Hurricane Katrina. An early baseline poll from last September showed Cornyn beating Noriega 51%-35%. How things have changed. Early this month, polls from RasmussenandResearch 2000 came out showing Cornyn's lead had shrunk to just four points! He's now under the 50% mark in both of them. However, the fundraising numbers are troubling, with Cornyn having outraised Noriega by more than a 4-to-1 margin in Q1, resulting in Cornyn sitting on over $8 million more than Noriega had by the end of March. And in a huge state like Texas, money will most definitely matter. This past week, Cornyn gave Noriega some prime ammo to use against him when he was one of only 22 Senators to vote against Sen. Jim Webb's (D-VA) G.I. Bill. Noriega quickly went up with an op-ed slamming Cornyn for abandoning our troops. Well played, sir.
10. Louisiana:Mary Landrieu (D) is the most endangered Democratic incumbent in 2008. But how endangered that really is remains to be seen. She was still able to win in 2002, a decidedly strong year for the GOP. Karl Rove was able to woo state treasurer John Neely Kennedy (no relation to the Kennedy family in Massachusetts) to switch parties to run for re-election to State Treasurer as a Republican last August, and after winning, he announced he would challenge Landrieu for her Senate seat. (Party switching actually seems rather common in Louisiana.) As for how endangered Landrieu really is, well, there's lots of conflicting data. On the down side, hundreds of thousands of residents from New Orleans and the surrounding areas never came back to the state after Hurricane Katrina, making the staet more red than it used to be. Bobby Jindal (R) didn't even need a runoff to win the governor's race last year, getting over 50% of the vote on the first ballot and performing stronger than expected. On the plus side, however, Mary's brother Mitch won the Lt. Governorship by an even bigger margin. And this month's win by Don Cazayoux (D) in LA-06, a Republican district, has to bode well for Landrieu. Kennedy did outraise Landrieu in Q1, but still trailed her by almost $3 million at the end of March. And Kennedy will have to burn some of that money against primary challenger Paul Hollis. There's been virtually no polling on this race for some reason, so the most recent one is from April, which shows Landrieu leading Kennedy 50%-38%. A boost came to the Landrieu campaign when the Huffington Post obtained an NRSC memo from 2004 that attacked Kennedy when he ran for the Senate that year... as a Democrat. After ripping him for being so wrong for Louisiana, they're suddenly going to say he's the right person for the job? LOL. Still, some more polling on this race would be nice to see (cough Markos cough).
11. Maine: Rep. Tom Allen (D) is running to challenge Susan Collins (R). But even though Maine is a blue state, he has an uphill climb. Collins has worked hard to craft her moderate credentials. The most recent Rasmussen poll has some good news for Allen, with him only trailing Collins 52%-42%. It's good news, considering every earlier poll had Allen under 40%. Allen has been hitting the right notes recently, hitting Collins hard over her shameful tenure as chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee from 2003-2007, and doing NOTHING about contractor abuses and war profiteering in Iraq, despite multiple letters from people informing her of serious abuses going on in Iraq. And BTW, the Maine newspapers suck at telling the truth about Collins. I mean, really suck.
12. Kentucky: Even though Mitch McConnell (R) became the Senate Minority Leader, he is a top target of the Democrats. And with former Governor Ernie Fletcher (R) losing his re-election bid to Steve Beshear (D) 59%-41% last November, that made Kentucky Democrats even more confident. But then Kentucky Attorney General Greg Stumbo and State Auditor Crit Luallen both declined to run, and netroots favorite Lt. Col. Andrew Horne, a Marine who has served in both the Persian Gulf War and the Iraq War, dropped his bid. Rasmussen had shown both Stumbo and Luallen holding McConnell under the 50% mark, and for the Senate Minority Leader who can bring home the pork, that showed significant dissatisfaction with McConnell in Kentucky. Netroots un-favorite and wealthy businessman Bruce Lunsford easily won the Democratic primary last week. He's ticked off a lot of Democrats in the past by endorsing Fletcher over Ben Chandler (D) for Governor back in 2003 after he lost the primary to Chandler. The blogs are, ah, less than pleased. At least it looks like Kentucky Democrats have quickly unified behind Lunsford and are all pledging to do their part to defeat McConnell. McConnell has a HUGE warchest of almost $8 million, but Lunsford can afford to self-fund. And this quote from Lunsford after winning the primary is nice to read. "[McConnell is] going to spend millions of dollars trying to destroy my reputation. But I don't care how many names he's going to call me, because in January he's going to call me `Senator.'" Well played, sir. Update: Rasmussen has just released a shocking poll showing Lunsford is leading McConnell 49%-44%! This, plus Lunsford's ability to self-fund, moves Kentucky into a Tier I race.
13. Mississippi-B: Roger Wicker (R), appointed by governor Haley Barbour (R) on New Year's Eve after Trent Lott (R) resigned to become a lobbyist, won't have all the incumbency power Lott had accumulated over the years. Wicker was the Congressman from MS-01, so he's won elected office previously. But that seat then went blue when Travis Childers (D) won it two weeks ago. So things are changing even in Mississippi. That has to be a shot in a arm for former Governor Ronnie Musgrove (D). However, Wicker has shown himself to be a prolific fundraiser, bringing in over $2.5 million in Q1 alone, amassing a warchest at the end of Q1 of over $2 million more than the one Musgrove had. Granted, Musgrove didn't have the full three months to fundraise, but until we see the Q2 numbers sometime in July, those numbers don't look so good. But what does look good are the latest polls. An internal DSCC poll showed a shocking result: Musgrove was up by 8 over Wicker, 48%-40%! Marc Ambinder explains why the poll can't be that far off. Then Research 2000 released a poll showing Wicker down by four, 46%-42%. But here's the catch; Markos had them cite the partisan identification. But because this is technically a special election (to fill out the remainder of Lott's term), there will be no party identification on the ballot in November, which is consistent with how the DSCC's internal poll asked the question. That can actually work to our benefit in a state like Mississippi. As a result, Wicker has already gone up with a TV ad introducing himself to voters.
Tier II
I decided, for the sake of my own sanity, not to try to rank the Tier II and III races. These are given in alphabetical order, by state.
Kansas: Pat Roberts (R), known for covering up issues related to intelligence and domestic spying for Bush, looked to be coasting to an easy re-election until former Congressman Jim Slatteryentered the race in mid-March. Given that late start, he still managed to raise over $250,000 in just the first two weeks. Slattery's got a nice 2-minute bio spot on YouTube. Rasmussen gave even more encouraging news this month, showing Roberts with only a 52%-40% lead, when we all thought Slattery would be down by more than that. There are signs that Roberts is nervous, as his people lashed out, attacking Slattery for criticizing the Iraq War, considering he voted for going to war with Iraq. Except... the war he voted for was the FIRST Gulf War in 1991. So... voting for that war makes you unable to criticize this war? Um, OK, that's some great Republican logic for you. At the very least, Slattery makes this race somewhat competitive.
Nebraska: With Chuck Hagel (R) retiring, former governor Mike Johanns (R) quit his job as Bush's Agriculture Secretary to run for this seat. The netroots were thrilled when rancher and history professor Scott Kleeb (D) threw his hat in the ring. While Kleeb lost the NE-03 House race in 2006, that district is the most Republican in Nebraska, and Kleeb got a higher-than-expected 45% of the vote. That's had a lot of people thinking he would actually win in the other two districts, and thus a statewide race. Of course, that doesn't take into account how he'd be running against the former governor of the state. Kleeb easily won his primary against Republican-turned-Democrat Tony Raimondo, but the polls show Kleeb still has quite a ways to go. Whereas Rasmussen has Kleeb down 55%-40% (which is actually a good starting point for Kleeb), DailyKos's Research 2000 poll has Kleeb down by a wide 58%-31% margin. Kleeb will also need to improve his fundraising significantly, as he trailed by over $1 million in cash on hand to Johanns to end Q1.
Tier III
Alabama: The Democrats' top hope in Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks announced he was not running, leaving little-known state senator Vivian Figures (D) the only challenger to incumbent Jeff Sessions (R). But it's unclear if she's running a real campaign, with her last event having been on March 27. But, Jeff Sessions does play a role in the Don Siegelman case. And it seems Sessions was desperate enough to try and kill the 60 Minutes piece about Siegelman before it aired. So if there's a chance Sessions will get ensnared in this scandal, his seat may not be so safe. But for now, it's Tier III, and in danger of falling into the "safe" category.
Georgia: A crowded field of relatively unknown Democratic challengers to Saxby Chambliss (R) didn't seem to go anywhere, until former state representative Jim Martin entered the race on March 19th. Martin was the 2006 Democratic Lt. Gov. nominee, so he's run a statewide race before. And in just 12 days, Martin raised $346,675, which dropped a lot of jaws. Martin would first have to get by DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones, who is black and is depending on African-American turnout to win the crowded primary field. Except... Jones voted for Bush... twice, still doesn't know what to think about Iraq, and likes calling us Democrats "losers". Way to, um, not endear yourself to us. It would be great if Chambliss loses; remember, he ousted triple amputee Max Cleland (D) in 2002 by running a despicable ad blending the images of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein into Cleland's face. If Martin bests Jones in the primary, I'll move this up to Tier II.
Idaho: With Larry Craig (R) retiring after his airport bathroom... ah... incident, it's looking like a rematch between Lt. Governor Jim Risch (R) and former Congressman Larry LaRocco (D), who lost the 2006 Lt. Gov. race to Risch by a sizable 58%-39% margin. While LaRocco finished 2007 with more cash on hand than Risch, he was absolutely blitzkrieged in Q1, with Risch raising over 4 ½ times as much money as LaRocco raised, and now LaRocco trails by almost $700,000 in cash on hand.
New Jersey:Frank Lautenberg (D) said he's running again, but his age is always a concern, as he is already 84 years old right now. His poll numbers also don't look that good, but no New Jersey politician's numbers ever look really good. As a result, Rep. Rob Andrews has decided to try a primary challenge, even though everyone else is backing Lautenberg. But Andrews has this problem of saying that invading Iraq wasn't a mistake, and was one of the biggest Democratic cheerleaders of going to war in the first place. And when Lautenberg blasts chickenhawks as forcefully as he did, why switch to Andrews? On the GOP side, it's been a wild roller coaster ride as multiple candidates have been declaring, and then dropping out of the race. Blue Jersey has a wild recap of it all.
Oklahoma: James Inhofe (R) looks pretty safe, though interestingly enough, Inhofe has never gotten to 50% approval in the history of SurveyUSA's polling. State senator and netroots favorite Andrew Rice (D), who lost his brother in the 9/11 attacks, has declared for this race. Rice and Inhofe could not be farther apart when it comes to energy and environmental issues. Rice pulled in decent fundraising numbers in Q1, but still trails Inhofe by a wide margin. For some reason, nobody has done a poll of this race yet.
South Carolina: This race is only in Tier III because Lindsey Graham (R) may actually be primaried out of his own party, for his support of Bush's immigration plan. The natives are restless. A party switch is near impossible, but a different senator serving in this seat come 2009 is a distinct possibility. Attorney and Navy veteran Michael Cone is running on the Democratic side. But put it this way, his website doesn't even have a picture of him, and his endorsements page is, ah, copied from an instructions page on how to build a website.
South Dakota:Tim Johnson (D) is fully back at work after suffering a brain hemorrhage in December 2006. His illness had made Republicans hesitant to challenge or attack him. And the polling shows Johnson may be the most popular Senator in the country, to boot.
Tennessee: Former Tennessee Democratic Party chair Bob Tuke entered the race in late February. It remains to be seen if Tuke can make this a real race against Lamar Alexander (R), who was also a two-term governor of Tennessee and the Secretary of Education under George H.W. Bush.
Democratic safe seats
Arkansas (Mark Pryor)
Delaware (Joe Biden)
Illinois (Dick Durbin)
Iowa (Tom Harkin)
Massachusetts (John Kerry)
Michigan (Carl Levin)
Montana (Max Baucus; his GOP opponent Michael Lange had less than $2,000 on hand at the end of Q1. I'm not kidding.)
Rhode Island (Jack Reed)
West Virginia (Jay Rockefeller)
Republican safe seats
Mississippi (Thad Cochran)
Wyoming (Michael Enzi)
Wyoming (John Barrasso)
So there you have it, my personal rankings for the 2008 Senate races, as they stand after Memorial Day. Things can still change, and we won't know exactly what the national mood will be 5 months from now. Still, given that, these are my picks, and I'm sticking with them... until my next update, at least.
Feel free to rip me apart in the comments, telling me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, how could I possibly put a certain race in Tier II or III when it's so obviously a top tier race, why I'm being too optimistic in some seat, etc. Have at it, folks. :-)

The Tennessee Democratic Party says transcripts of Rep. Scott DesJarlais' divorce more than a decade ago show he engaged in "multiple sexual relationships and drug use with patients" along with "mutual consent" for his then-wife's two abortions. The party requested the hundreds of pages of documents during the recent 4th District Congressional race where the physician DesJarlais easily won a second term by defeating Democratic challenger Eric Stewart.The state party went to court in Chattanooga the day before the November 6 election to obtain the court documents after there was word they contained information of DesJarlais' relationships with other women while he was going through a divorce from his first wife in the late 1990s and early 2000s.The lengthy documents needed several days of transcription before being released to the Tennessee Democratic Party.In a statement, party chair Chip Forrester said, "Congressman Scott DesJarlais' lies have come home to roost. Just like he abused his power as a doctor and violated the trust of his patients, he has betrayed those who have defended him by deceiving them about his affairs with patients. The power brokers in the Republican Party can no longer hide behind DesJarlais' shameful and selfish lies. Reality is staring them in the face. It's time they addressed these disgusting facts and held him accountable for his continued pattern of lies, deception and hypocrisy."He lied to us about his record when he ran for office the first time and he lied to Tennesseans again during his second campaign. DesJarlais has acted irresponsibly, his actions are contemptible and his tangled web of deceit is sickening. Scott DesJarlais should be barred from practicing medicine, and he should give up his seat in Congress to make way for someone worthy of the trust that Tennesseans instill in their elected officials."The party released the following excerpt from the transcripts of a cross examination of DesJarlais:Q. Now, you and [PATIENT NAME]carried on for about from January of 2000 to April of 2000, did you not?A. Four months.Q. According to you?A. Yes.Q. And then you kept calling her in June of 2000 after you and Susan had been reconciled, didn't you?A. I called her a couple of times.Q. Phone records indicate that?A. Yes.Q. And she was an employee of the hospital?A. No.Q. She was a patient of yours?A. Yes.Q. And you wrote her prescriptions and you have told us about your concern about these prescriptions, but you wrote her prescriptions, did you not, Doctor, give her medicine, drugs?A. I wrote patients prescriptions, yes.Q. I'm talking about [PATIENT NAME], the lady you are sleeping with.A. Yes, she is a patient and I wrote her prescriptions.Q. Okay. So we have got a patient that you are sleeping with that you are writing prescriptions to?A. Yes.It was also revealed in the transcripts that DesJarlais's former wife had two abortions.The now Pro-Life Republican tells the court in 2001 about his then wife's abortions while being questioned by an attorney. Q. Has your wife, Susan DesJarlais, ever had an abortion?A. Yes, she has.Q. How many?A. Three.Q. Do you know when those occurred?A. Yes.Q. When?A. One occurred prior to our meeting and two occurred shortly after we were together.Details in the divorce transcript goes on to say about one of the abortions that "things were not going well between us and it was a mutual decision."He then adds, "I don't think that it was easy for either one of us, I think it was a very difficult and poor choice."The documents from 2001 also included testimony from a patient he dated that showed he urged her to get an abortion.One page reads with a lawyer asking "was there ever the subject of an abortion brought up?""Yes, sir" says the former patient."And who brought that up?" asks the attorney. "Dr. Desalts," replies his former patient. "and what was he wanting you do to?"to have an abortion" the woman said.DesJarlais, whose campaign platform opposed abortion, acknowledged the conversation but said he was only trying to get her to admit she wasn't pregnant.The transcripts show that woman testified under oath that she had been pregnant. She declined to elaborate on the outcome of the pregnancy.There has been no immediate response from the congressman or his office.
Tennessee Republican
Party Executive Director Adam Nickas
told Nashville's News 2 the party "Can't speak for the
congressman, any statement will have to come from him."
On election night, DesJarlais told reporters that it was disappointing that his "difficult 14-year-old divorce" once again became an issue in his race, instead of the issues.

I move around a lot, and have rented a lot of houses along the way. I'm always hoping that while i'm out looking for houses for rent, I'll see a sign, look up and have a historical home staring me right in the face. Alas, no such luck thus far. But they sure are fun to learn about. When I was younger, my Dad lived in a early 20th century church in Connecticut, so spending my summers there gave me the historical house bug. Denver is on my list of places to live next, so even if I end up in a apartment, I look forward to checking out the historical homes in the area or a lecture series at the library.

Licking Wounds
POSTED: 3 June 2011
Licking Wounds
At the moment, Wembley Stadium is not the happiest place for any Englishman. Understandable, really: the second Manchester United Champions League defeat care of Barca, this time with the added sting of being on English soil. I guess the experts were wrong: crowd support could not hold up Manchester United.
But a slight hope of redemption is on the horizon, in the form of the full English team meeting Switzerland for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match. The game is set for Wembley – the scene of the 3-1 massacre.
The English team can breathe a tad easier for this one. Under the coaching of Fabio Capello, they managed to defeat Switzerland the last 2 times they met, and the most recent one was in Switzerland's own turf. In fact I may be inclined to say that their chances are quite favourable: 3 wins and 1 draw in the European Championship, against Switzerland's 1 win, 2 losses and 1 draw. And even without Rooney, the English team will be strong enough to face Switzerland.
This next match is no Champions League, and maybe the stench of spilt English blood will remain in the air for a few more weeks. But I reckon there's something to be said about English supporters' most recent memory of Wembley involving a win, not a slaughter. The journey to healing is slow; I believe it begins with this next match.
Verdict: England to win by a mile

Whitchurch students' mark of Remembrance
9:30am Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News
HUNDREDS of red poppies were used to create wreaths to mark Remembrance Day at Testbourne Community School.
Every pupil at the school, in Micheldever Road, Whitchurch, contributed to the Act of Remembrance during an assembly on November 9.
A representative from each tutor group presented the wreaths, created with a poppy from every student, some bearing the names of relatives who had died in conflict or who serve in the armed forces.
Head boy Eliot Kerr and head girl Mia Bright were joined by their deputies Kate Eagleton and Ben Cousins to read the words of men who had served their country across the generations, including 19-year-old Aron Shelton who lost his leg after being injured by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
A silence was observed at 11am, followed by Last Post, played by GCSE music student Adam Turner.
Hilary Jackson, headteacher, said: "There have been worries expressed in the press that today's young people will not remember, as the older generation do, those who have served and suffered or died.
"If Testbourne students are anything to go by then Remembrance will be safe in their hands for many years to come."

Section 15
This section relates to the place and behavior of the business firm and to business initiative in the American economy. It includes data on the number, type, and size of businesses; financial data of domestic and multinational U.S. corporations; business investments, expenditures, and profits; and sales and inventories.
The principal sources of these data are the Survey of Current Business, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Federal Reserve Bulletin, issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the annual Statistics of Income (SOI) reports of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Census Bureau's Economic Census, County Business Patterns, Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing, Mining, and Trade Corporations (QFR), Surveys of Minority- and Women- Owned Business Enterprises, and AnnualCapital Expenditures Survey.
Business firms-A firm is generally defined as a business organization under a single management and may include one or more establishments. The terms firm, business, company, and enterprise are used interchangeably throughout this section. A firm doing business in more than one industry is classified by industry according to the major activity of the firm as a whole.
The IRS concept of a business firm relates primarily to the legal entity used for tax reporting purposes. A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business owned by one person and may include large enterprises with many employees and hired managers and part-time operators. A partnership is an unincorporated business owned by two or more persons, each of whom has a financial interest in the business. A corporation is a business that is legally incorporated under state laws. While many corporations file consolidated tax returns, most corporate tax returns represent individual corporations, some of which are affiliated through common ownership or control with other corporations filing separate returns.
Economic census-The economic census is the major source of facts about the structure and functioning of the nation's economy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and the general public. It furnishes an important part of the framework for such composite measures as the gross domestic product estimates, input/output measures, production and price indexes, and other statistical series that measure shortterm changes in economic conditions. The Census Bureau takes the economic census every 5 years, covering years ending in ''2'' and ''7.'' The economic census forms an integrated program at 5-year intervals since 1967, and before that for 1963, 1958, and 1954. Prior to that time, the individual censuses were taken separately at varying intervals.
The economic census is collected on an establishment basis. A company operating at more than one location is required to file a separate report for each store, factory, shop, or other location. Each establishment is assigned a separate industry classification based on its primary activity and not that of its parent company. Establishments responding to the establishment survey are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity (determined by annual sales volume) in accordance with the North American Industry Classification System-United States, 1997 manual (see below).
More detailed information about the scope, coverage, classification system, data items, and publications for each of the economic censuses and related surveys is published in the Guide to the Economic Censuses and Related Statistics. More information on the methodology, procedures, and history of the censuses is available in the History of the 1997 Economic Census found on the Census Bureau Web site at <http://www.census.gov/prod/ec97/pol00-hec.pdf>.
Data from the 1997 Economic Census were released through the Census Bureau's American FactFinder service, on CD-ROM, and in Adobe Acrobat PDF reports available on the Census Bureau Web site. For more information on these various media of release, see the following page on the Census Bureau Web site <http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/econ97.html>.
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)-The 1997Economic Census is the first census to present data based on the new NAICS.Previous census data were based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. This new system of industrial classification was developed by experts on classification in government and private industry under the guidance of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget.
There are 20 NAICS sectors, which are subdivided into 96 subsectors (three-digit codes), 313 industry groups (four-digit codes), and, as implemented in the United States, 1,170 industries (five- and sixdigit codes). While many of the individual NAICS industries correspond directly to industries as defined under the SIC system, most of the higher level groupings do not.
Most of the 1997 Economic Census data are issued on a NAICS basis as seen in the industry and geographic series from the census. Other related census reports remain on an SIC basis due to use of administrative records and other methodological and data processing issues. Current survey data from the Census Bureau as well as other statistical agencies are converting over time to NAICS after benchmarking to the 1997 Economic Census where appropriate or implementation of data collection on a NAICS basis.
Quarterly Financial Report-The Quarterly Financial Report (QFR) program publishes quarterly aggregate statistics on the financial conditions of U.S. corporations. The QFR requests companies to report estimates from their statements of income and retained earnings, balance sheets, and related financial and operating ratios for domestic operations. The statistical data are classified and aggregated by type of industry and asset size. The QFR sample includes large manufacturing companies, mostly with $250 million or more in assets. It also includes a small sample of manufacturing companies, mostly with assets between $250 thousand and $250 million, and a sample of mining, wholesale, and retail companies, mostly with assets of $50 million or more. The data are published quarterly in the Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing, Mining, and Trade Corporations and on the Internet at <http://www.census.gov/csd/qfr>.

KUSA - What does Patrick Roy hate? Losing. What does he hate more than losing? Losing, again.
When Colorado takes on Edmonton Thursday night - the Avalanche were emphatically dropped by the Oilers 8-2 just weeks ago - the fiery head coach won't disguise his feelings. Roy wants to beat this team badly, even more so than the others. Yet, he isn't about to let that affect his teams preparation or execution.
"It's hard not to think about it, but at the same time I haven't brought it up, and it's not in my intention as well. I don't believe in revenge," Roy said. Call it maturity or experience - the longtime Avalanche goaltender spent 10 years away from the NHL after his retirement - just don't think that passion is subdued. Roy hasn't changed, he's just more aware nowadays.
"Right now, I just want to see us play a good game," he continued.
Following the Edmonton game, Colorado will need to really focus as they go on the road to face some of the Western Conference's toughest teams - Los Angeles, San Jose and Chicago. Annihilating the Oilers would put a smile on Roy's face nonetheless.

For the last three years, the Badgers have had the ultimate New Year's Day experience -- playing in the Rose Bowl. But each time, Wisconsin fell short of the win.
For all the success the Wisconsin senior class has had including three straight Big Ten championships, this group has never won a bowl game. They're determined to change that with a win in the Capital One Bowl.
"I think that those games made, this senior class especially, more prepared for this moment," Wisconsin senior defensive end Ethan Hemer said. "This is our team and its falling on our shoulders to make a huge impact in this game. I feel the same way I did in the other ones, I feel like this result is going to be a good one."
Playing in a bowl definitely has its benefits. The young players in the Wisconsin program get extra practice time, the program gets extra exposure, especially in a talent-rich area like Florida. Right now, there are nine Florida natives on the Badgers roster and Gary Andersen would like to see that number grow.
"Just look at our history, the guys we've put out," Wisconsin senior safety Dezmen Southward. "If they gety a chance to get up to the campus, obviously look at our coaching staff, they're a great group of people."

The Washington Post story, How patent reform's fraught politics have left USPTO still without a boss (July 30), is a vivid account of how patent reform has divided the US economy, preempting a possible replacement for David Kappos who stepped down 18 months ago. The division is even bigger than portrayed. Universities have lined up en masse to oppose reform, while main street businesses that merely use technology argue for reform. Reminiscent of the partisan divide that has paralyzed US politics, this struggle crosses party lines and extends well beyond the usual inter-industry debates. Framed in terms of combating patent trolls through technical legal fixes, there lurks a broader economic concern – to what extent ordinary retailers, bank, restaurants, local banks, motels, realtors, and travel agents should bear the burden of defending against patents as a cost of doing business.

Goldson signed a $41.25 million, five-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday.||||||| Goldson spent the past two seasons on one-year contracts with the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers, including last year with the franchise tag for $6.2 million. Goldson made it clear he sought a long-term deal for his future security, and he got it across the country with the Bucs. The 28-year-old Goldson had 69 tackles, three interceptions and a forced fumble for San Francisco last year in his sixth NFL season.
Goldson has signed his $6.2 million franchise tender and reported to the San Francisco 49ers' training camp on time.||||||| The signing announced Thursday settles the team's only outstanding contract issue on the day veterans were due to arrive. Goldson had wanted a long-term deal but never gave any indication that he wouldn't report to camp after the July 16 deadline for franchise tagged players to agree to a new contract passed.
The San Francisco 49ers used the franchise tag for Goldson on Friday, giving them the right to match any offer Goldson receives from elsewhere.||||||| The move by the NFC West champions makes sure the team is compensated if Goldson - who had been set to become an unrestricted free agent March 13 - signs with another franchise. "There are no immediate plans to sign the franchise tag," Goldson's representative, Ben Dogra of CAA Sports, said in a text message. "We will continue to speak with the 49ers."
Goldson has been fined $25,000 by the NFL for punching Arizona receiver Early Doucet in last Sunday's game.||||||| Doucet was fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness when he struck Goldson in the helmet area. Goldson then threw his punches. At the end of a play early in the fourth quarter, Goldson was down away from the ball when he got blindsided and slapped on the back of the helmet by Doucet. Goldson jumped up, confronted him and both began swinging. Goldson then threw a series of punches to Doucet's facemask and received a 15-yard personal foul penalty before being ejected.
Goldson insists his fight with Arizona wide receiver Early Doucet was a one-time transgression and said he addressed his teammates and coaches after Sunday's 23-7 win over the Cardinals regarding the mistake.||||||| NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says the league doesn't plan to suspend Goldson, who will get word on a potential fine when they are handed down Friday.

Like a winter storm, flu season is heading our way.
The flu appears to be the worst in four years in California, according to early data from the Centers for Disease Control. The 2012-13 flu season in California has reached a moderate-to-high level, the most severe since a huge spike in flu activity was reported in late fall of 2009.
In the San Fransisco Bay Area, flu activity is moderate around San Fransisco and San Jose, and low in the East Bay, according to the CDC. That's much better than areas of the South and Northeast, where flu activity is high or even intense.
But the flu likes to travel via planes and trains during the holiday season, so prepare yourself. We asked Patch readers via Facebook to share their best advice.
The No. 1 suggestion from Patch Facebook fans was to get a flu shot. That's what experts recommend as well and, earlier this month, more than one-third of U.S. residents had received the influenza vaccine.
But if you aren't in that vaccinated group or you—heaven forbid—are but get sick anyway, here are some tips to stay healthy and beat the flu bug fast.
A reader in Pacifica suggested "Extra vit D, probiotics, organic apple cider vinegar, super foods...always good to boost your immune system naturally."
Rex, from Menlo Park-Altheron Patch, recommended green juice and lots of water.
Rhonda, a Palo Alto Patch reader, said she got a bug last week. Staying home to rest helped her feel better.
Kelli, a
Redwood City-Woodside Patch reader, said she's getting a lot of sleep and remembering to wash her hands often.
Vicks, the cold and cough medicine producer, has lots of information about the illness on its website. Learn about the cycle of a cold or how differentiate between symptoms of a cold, the flu and allergies.
Tell us in comments: how do you stay healthy during flu season? Got any advice on how to speed up recovery if you do get sick, like a killer chicken noodle soup recipe or immune-boosting tea?

California Statewide Travel Demand ModelThe California Statewide Travel Demanc Model (CSTDM) is a multi-modal tour-based travel demand model covering the entire state that represents both personal and commercial travel. It incorporates statewide networkds for roads, rail, bus, and air travel. It used the 2001 California Household Travel Survey, the 2000 United States Census and incorporated regional estimates of zonal land use, employment, and population for model calibration and base year assigment.
What is the purpose of the CSTDM?
The CSTDM is designed to bring a better estimte of inter-regional trips to regional travel demand models and to provide long distance travel estimates across multiple regions. The CSTDM is not intended to supplant existing or future travel demand models. Those models are inherently more detailed within their respective areas.
How is the model run?
The model was prepared and is run using CUBE, a commercially available transportation modeling program. Alternative future network and socio-economic scenarios will need to be run on that system.
How was the model prepared?
The current version of the model was constructed by a multi-disciplinary team led by ULTRANS and HBA Specto. This team also prepared the current model documentation and training that is available elsewhere on the website. The model is being updated to incorporate the latest travel survey information from the ongoing 2012 California Household Travel Survey, the 2010 United States Census, and other data provided by out regional and stat partners.

OAKLAND – They spent much of the year as battery-mates in Sacramento, playing for the Triple-A River Cats. Saturday night at the Oakland Coliseum, they graduated to MLB postseason stardom.
Sonny Gray, the phenomenal rookie pitcher, logged a performance for the ages in Game 2 of this American League Division Series, and Stephen Vogt, the journeyman catcher from Visalia, delivered the winning hit in the A's 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The sellout crowd went home happy, and their team's playoff hopes remained alive.
"I've thrown to him all year," Gray said of Vogt. "I threw to him every start in Sacramento, except for maybe two. And we have really good chemistry. He came up big for us, and it was awesome for him to be in that moment."
Oakland A's vs. Detroit Tigers ALDS Game 2
Vogt's walk-off single against a drawn-in infield in the bottom of the ninth inning capped another close game between these teams, who also faced off in the ALDS last year, the Tigers winning in five games.
But it was Gray, the 23-year-old who looks like he'll be trick-or-treating in a few weeks, who stole the show. Gray matched Detroit ace Justin Verlander pitch for pitch, strikeout for strikeout, all night long. Gray even managed to outlast Verlander, a renowned workhorse. Gray made it through eight innings. Verlander didn't make it out for the bottom of the eighth.
Verlander threw 117 pitches, Gray 111. Verlander struck out 11 batters, Gray nine. Each allowed four hits (and three of Gray's didn't even leave the infield), and each did it with raw heat and daring. And neither got a decision. Grant Balfour got the win after pitching the ninth inning in relief, and Al Alburquerque got the loss.
The series resumes Monday in Detroit.
At times, Gray and Verlander almost seemed to be trying to one-up one another's exploits.
In the top of the third inning, Gray struck out the top of the Detroit order – Jackson, Torii Hunter, and Miguel Cabrera. Verlander countered in the bottom of the fourth, when he struck out three of the A's four hitters – all of them looking.

Car crash lollipop lady gets Pride of Britain Award

Karin Williams, 50, was seriously injured after stepping into the path of the car outside Rhoose Primary School in June, pushing pupils to safety.
She endured eight hours of surgery after being left with two broken kneecaps, a broken elbow, a broken shoulder and a badly swollen face.
She will be honoured for her bravery.
The awards recognise Britain's unsung heroes, and are being presented tonight at a ceremony in London.
The Pride of Britain Awards will be screened on ITV at 8pm on Tuesday

Bryce Harper is ... colorful. He has ... a lot to say. And until he does or says something really, really stupid, he'll force writers ... to put ellipses in place of what they're really thinking. But Deron Snyder of the Washington Times wants everyone to leave the kid alone for a while:
Can we let Bryce Harper be Bryce Harper for now, when he's 19 and still learning the ways of the world? Can we appreciate his personality, letting him grow and mature, without asking him to be a plastic player filled with false humility? Can we encourage him to be as honest and open as possible, letting him experiment with the boundaries, instead of turning him into a colorless cliche machine who never says anything remotely interesting or stimulating?
Harper's two latest sins: preferring the Cowboys over the Redskins, and saying he admired Joe Namath. Wait, wait. Settle down a bit before you overreact and do something you regret. While liking the Cowboys does cause syphilis and cold sores, it shouldn't be a big deal if a player does a little good-natured trolling of his Twitter followers.
Alas, Harper already deleted his Twitter account and started in with the clichés.
Harper made that clear upon arriving in Viera when he was asked what he most needed to do this spring: "I'm going to come in here, work as hard as I can, keep my mouth shut and play."
If Harper turned into another 110-percenter before he even got a chance to really annoy us, that'd be baseball's loss.
