Nile Gardiner believes even America's liberal elites realize that the Obama Presidency is crumbling.

Dick Morris says the Democrats are facing an epic disaster this November.

Michael Barone says the Democratic leadership is planning a sort of electoral triage, funneling money only to those candidates they think have a chance, and writing off those that do not.

Here in New Hampshire, a new poll puts Ovide Lamontagne in second place behind Kelly Ayotte and ahead of Bill Binnie in the race for the GOP Senate nomination. Ovide and Jim Bender are surging, while Binnie is falling. I think Ovide has a real shot at this, while Binnie is being killed by a backlash against his negative campaign and the fact that conservative voters are questioning his political positions, which is moving them in Ovide's direction. Ayotte still has the advantage, but Ovide is gaining ground at just the right time.

The Union Leader gives their endorsement for the GOP nomination in the 1st District to Rich Ashooh. Their endorsement is always significant, but it may have even more impact for this particular race.

Like many GOP voters in this district, I have not made up my own mind as to who I will support, so the UL endorsement has real weight.
