Fix Poll: The best 2010 state

With 38 Senate races, 37 governors races and as many as 100(!) competitive House races on the docket, the 2010 midterm election are an embarrassment of riches for political junkies. But, which state features the best series of races -- the one state where a Fixista would spend the next year if the goal was full immersion in the politics of the midterms?

Fix Poll: Tomorrow's Political Headline Today

With governors races in New Jersey and Virginia as well as a very unpredictable House special election in upstate New York on the ballot tomorrow, the Democratic and Republican spin machines are working in overdrive at the moment. Democratic Governors Association executive director Nathan Daschle has released a memo to the media detailing the long historical odds his party faced in winning either of the two gubernatorial races up for grabs tomorrow.

Fix Poll: The most underrated Governor in the country

Given the enormous outpouring of interest over our last Fix Poll about the most underrated (Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island) and overrated (John McCain of Arizona) Senators, we thought we would do a variation on that theme for today's survey. Governors continue to have a major impact on the national political landscape -- from those seeking higher office (Florida's Charlie Frist and, potentially, North Dakota's John Hoeven) to those rumored to have an eye -- eventually -- on the presidency (Louisiana's Bobby Jindal, Montana's Brian Schweitzer).
