Update 10:40 PM- As always I reserve the right to 'disqualify' a state if someone is cheating on its behalf. The same IP address in Delaware has cast 80 votes for the state in the last half hour or so. I don't know how to prevent people from gaming the poll but I do not consider that to be an acceptable thing to do and if Delaware ends up winning by a small margin I'm going to do the second place finisher instead. If you want a particular state to win get a bunch of different individual people to come vote for it. It's pretty easy to figure out who's cheating look at our different web traffic tools.
Seven choices for where we poll this weekend:
-Colorado. Colorado is probably the most important state that's not getting polled enough this political season so even though we went there in May I'm not opposed to going there again already, especially with the Senate primaries coming up quick.
-Delaware. I doubt there's anything to see here but it doesn't get polled much and it would be interesting to see if there are any signs of vulnerability for Mike Castle.
-Florida. There's a ton on going there. Obviously worth polling.
-Nevada. Very little polling here since the primary- has Sharron Angle's nomination opened the door back up for Democrats or is Harry Reid so unpopular the Republicans could nominate just about anyone and still get away with it?
-New Hampshire. I'm interested in seeing if any trouble is emerging for Kelly Ayotte in the primary. Everyone else the NRSC recruited in seems to be getting tea partied, is she going to join the club?
-New Mexico. A competitive Governor's race obviously, and it (as well as New Hampshire) is one of the places small enough that we can also look at the House races in the state.
-Washington. There's been enough polling here from a wide enough variety of sources that I'm pretty convinced it's a real race but it's about the last big place left we haven't done a poll yet this cycle.
Voting's open until Thursday morning, we'll definitely do the first place finisher and probably the runner up as well.
