For at least a little while in the 2004 race, some were saying that George W. Bush was making it a close race. That didn't seem to last going into election day as John Kerry easily won the state. This time around, I see something of the same thing. I think some polls will show it close for a while, but eventually the Demcoratic candidate will pull away.In the senate, the democrat will cruise to another victory. The house has two seats that are expected to be competitive.
