Starting April, 2008, Madison Project will be regularly posting blogs on the races where its candidates are involved. The Project will do its best to post up-to-date poll numbers for the races, breaking news, insights, and press releases so that Madison members can track how the endorsed candidates are doing in their respective races.

A Public Opinion Strategies poll from Sept. 19th buts John Gard down by 1pt, 45-46%, in WI-8. The seat has traditionally been a Republican seat, and no Democrat has ever won re-election in WI-8.

According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, Bob Schaffer is only down by 2 points in the CO Senate race. That’s within the margin of error.

According to a SurveyUSA poll, Chris Hackett is only down 4 points to the incumbent Democrat, Chris Carney, 49%-45%. That’s about at the margin of error, so a tight race.

The Rothernberg Report rates where the Madison Senate candidates are: one seat (NM) leans Dem, two are toss-ups (CO and LA), and one is safe (ID).

Steve Pearce was down 59%-34% to Tom Udall about a month ago. Rasmussen now reports that with “leaners” thrown into the poll, Udall is only up 52%-44%; Pearce has cut the lead from 25 points to 8 points. That is encouraging news.

John Gard, who is running in WI-8, is only down 4 to the Democrat incumbent according to a recent poll. Gard only lost by about 6,000 votes last time, so this could be a tight one again.

I keep on seeing reports that the Colorado Senate race is looking bad for Bob Schaffer, that Udall will win. And then Rasmussen comes out with a poll yesterday that shows Bob only down by 4. You throw in the leaners, he’s only down 3, and all this with a margin of error of 4.5%, so both numbers put Bob within the margin of error. I’ll take those numbers right now. A month ago, Bob was down 9. So this is hardly over.

Over the last few days Fred has hit Zack Space over his votes against expanding drilling and ending our reliance on foreign oil and gas. The American people get this issue.
I find it odd that the Democrats are leaving themselves so exposed politically on this one. Space, Pelosi, Hoyer, et al came into DC in January of 2007 promising something “comprehensive” in regards to rising gas prices. Last time I checked, the price per tank has gone up almost $2 per gallon over the last year and a half.

The Next Right posted this entry on how the Denver Post had a hit piece on Schaffer. The good news is that Colorado blogger Rossputin wasn’t going to take it lying down. He’s decided to do an eight part series on the truth of the matter. We’ll keep linking to Rossputin’s blog as he reports.
