Bloodless Coup

McCain Leads in Gallup; Kay Hagan Leads Liddy Dole

While I assume the new Gallup number will be the poll story of the day, scroll down to the congressional races. In the latest PPP poll Elizabeth Dole is behind challenger Kay Hagan. Dole's numbers appear to have plunged in the last month (courtesy of DSCC spending on Hagan). That's pretty remarkable. Given that the Democrats appear likely to pick-up 5 seats and hers isn't one of those 5 the Democrats are clearly "expanding the map" to positive effect. Also, take a look at those Michigan races. Those numbers don't look good for the Republican incumbents.
