What I find amazing is that
http://www.electoral-vote.com:2006/
is currently predicting a 50-50 senate using recent polling data.

I accept that there may not be a balanced distribution around the midpoint but surely something is way out of line in those odds. Do we go with the futures market or the polling data? Your call. I tend to believe the market.

Be interesting to watch these odds over the coming months.
