I don't think anyone six months ago really expected the Senate contests in Connecticut and Delaware for 2010 to look competitive at this point in the game, but our poll last week showed Mike Castle might start out as a small favorite if he got in the race and it appears Rob Simmons is in in Connecticut following a Quinnipiac survey last week showing him with a narrow advantage.
There are races in every cycle that end up being a lot more competitive than anyone might have initially expected, like North Carolina and Alaska last year and Virginia in 2006.
I've already argued based on our polling in the late fall that Johnny Isakson could be vulnerable to a strong challenger, but here's my question: what other Senate seats up next year that haven't received any polling or attention might be competitive that people aren't talking about? We'll try to poll some of those places in the next few months and figure out if there's anything there or not.
