If Meg ends up winning the election, I'm curious to see if this also helps Carly Fiorina beat Barb Boxer.

Relax, it's a very legitmate question. You should welcome the inquiry and not pretend it's a non-issue.

Several of those polls are quite close and depending on how they were structured/sampled they COULD be within the margin of error. And the race would still be a clear deadheat statistically.

I dont know Fiorina does not have the same support in Silicon Valley that Meg Does, but it would be cool to see if this spawns an anti liberal revolution like we saw with the Mass senate race for late kennedy's seat

Whitman & Brown haven't even had one debate; nothing but negative attack ads. What a miserable excuse for an election.

Except you made a decleration based on nothing, instead of making an inquiry.

I know, right?

"King" Brown expects us readily elect him to his rightful throne.
Whitman wants us to believe that she will be the arbiter of change for California.

In the meantime, us serfs and peasants toil in the flat lands, watching to see who will be crowned.
234 years of American Democracy, and THIS is the best we can do.

Gotta love it

Actually Brown challenged Whitman to regular debates but she declined and only agreed to one debate in late October [just a few weeks before the election]. Whitman rarely allows press conferences or open discussions and rightly so after her disastrous interview on KFI radio here in LA. Conservative shock jocks, 'Ken and John' crucified Whitman over her dishonesty.

I wouldn't get too excited about these poll numbers; you might end up very disappointed.

Are you a Republican party hack? That is a rhetorical question.

My initial post in this thread did not contain a quesiton mark but it was meant as a serious inquiry.

The RCP link you provided has classified the race as a toss up. So that MOST likely means the race is within the margin of error in most of the polls RCP monitors. Though I will say the trend favors Whitman.

Clicking the RCP links brings up more info including margin of error. 2 of the 3 have Whitman by a number beyond the margin of error.

Fox News/POR-Rasmussen: Whitman 49% Brown 43% margin of error +/- 3 percentage points

CNN/Time: Whitman 48% Brown 46% margin of error +/- 3.5 percentage points
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/im.../topstate1.pdf

Survey USA: Whitman 47% Brown 40% margin of error +/- 4.2 percentage points
