PENNSYLVANIA STABLE? – AT 8:58 A.M. ET:  That critical Senate race in Pennsylvania appears to have stabilized, at least for now.  A new poll out this morning shows a dead heat.

Now that's not quite the 10-point lead that Republican Pat Toomey had a month ago, but it's better than a Joe Sestak lead that some pollsters recently showed.  In addition, several statistical experts are suggesting that the race may not have closed at all, or closed far less than polls in the last few days suggest.  These observers point out that polling organizations switched from registered voters to likely voters in their surveys, but that the definition of a "likely voter" may have been out of date, given the distortion caused by GOP enthusiasm this year.

So stand by for further Pennsyvania results.  We want Pennsylvania badly, and we may get what we wish for.
