It's Down To The Wire

The latest polls give varying views of how the race is going:

• LA Times/USC poll shows Boxer up by 8 points
• Rasmussen Reports poll shows Boxer up by 2 points

Maybe a better picture can be obtained by looking at what is going on in other areas.  For example, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is pouring an additional $3 million into the race this week.  That's on top of the $4.5 they have put in the past two weeks.  They wouldn't be doing that if they were writing this campaign off.  The Chamber of Commerce has spent almost $2.5 million in October opposing Boxer.  They wouldn't do that if they thought California was a lost cause.  

All in all, this race is going to come down to the wire.  The debates are done with neither side making major gaffes.  The spending on both sides goes on unabated.  All the political web sites count this race as a toss up.  It looks like it's going to be a fun night next Tuesday.

Remember to vote if you know what you're voting for.
