Better and Better: Democrats Poll Evenly With Republicans in 11 GOP-Held Senate Races; Possibility of 60 Vote Fillibuster-Proof Majority In Offing

And I thought Secretary of State John Kerry was the worst news today. I was wrong.

I've always scoffed at the notion that the Democrats could win control of a 60-seat filibuster-proof Senate majority in November, but the Hill's Aaron Blake points out that "Democrats have now polled ahead or within the margin of error in 11 Republican-held seats, as polls conducted in recent weeks show openings in second-tier targets including Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas. . . Democrats have also polled ahead in at least some of the polling in Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Virginia, polling substantial leads in the latter three. They have also been within the margin of error in Minnesota and Oregon."

Speechless.
