Look harder. Romney/Ryan is dragging all the R's down, but, less than any of the other clowns would.. The presumption in the political world that Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race was Republican Tommy Thompson’s to lose has taken a beating this week, with five independent polls now showing Democrat Tammy Baldwin tied with Thompson or ahead. What happened?... The other big worry for Thompson in recent weeks is President Barack Obama’s rebound at the top of the ticket in Wisconsin, where most polls now give Obama a single-digit lead. It’s been widely assumed Thompson will run ahead of Romney in Wisconsin and could survive a narrow Obama victory in the state. But nobody knows for sure, and the presidential margin will matter. Thompson raised eyebrows this past week when WKOW-TV in Madison asked him about Baldwin’s surge in the polls and he pointed to Romney’s struggles in Wisconsin. "The presidential thing is bound to have an impact on every election,” said Thompson. “Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, if your standard-bearer for the presidency is not doing well, it's gonna reflect on the down-ballot." jsonline.com Dem poll: Rep. Bachmann in trouble By Cameron Joseph - 09/10/12 11:38 AM ET Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is in a close race, according to a poll conducted for her Democratic opponent, Jim Graves. The poll shows Bachmann holding a narrow 48 to 46 percent lead despite the conservative lean of the district, a dangerous place to be for any incumbent. The poll shows Bachmann with near-universal name recognition, while Graves is unknown by more than 6 in 10 voters in the district, suggesting he could have room to grow. thehill.com
