EJ Dionne writes in today’s WaPo about the historical implications of big Democrat wave in 2006:
and Republicans have a few opportunities of their own for Northern pickups. But winning the bulk of these Lincoln-state seats would be the linchpin of any Democratic victory.
Then he talks about the rise of the South,
The changing regional contours of […]

Stephen Bainbridge has written a piece in TCS Daily advising the GOP to not talk about the war in the 2006 election. He has further argued that a recent WSJ piece supports this position.
His argument, at its simplest can be summarized with this:

Bill Frist tried to take a little credit for tracking down the missing holding Senator. Note how he praises his volunteers:
Led by sites like PorkBusters, TPM Muckraker, and GOP Progress, online activists across the political spectrum have worked to clear away the obstruction against this bill through hard work and the process of elimination. While […]

So today, the RNC sent out a memo about what a freak Kos is. Needless to say, he is a freak. Recall some parts of the RNC’s memo about activating the base:
Almost 60% of the Base expresses extremely high dissatisfaction with the media coverage of the situation in Iraq.
…
A majority of the base — 56 […]

The DSCC blasted McCain for his appearance with the GOP SC Adjutant General candidate…
But the DSCC got their facts wrong (”Shoot first, ask questions never”). You see they say:
The law that McCain wrote specifically prohibits Senators from raising more than $2100 for a state candidate. [my emphasis] However, the Spears invitation encourages donors to give […]

The “insurgents” ran very good campaigns. But we learn very different things from them. First, CT Senate.
Ned Lamont, the darling of the lefty blogosphere, had a lot of good campaign ideas. People have talked about all the blog stuff and YouTube stuff (NPR/Slate on this). But, perhaps more to the point, he ran a great ground […]
