Minnesota: I don’t know if you’d call it a debate exactly, but Al Franken and Norm Coleman will have a forum on Tuesday at Farmfest.
Oregon: It’s weird that Sen. Gordon Smith keeps running ads where he highlights his work with Democrats. First he touted his work with Obama, now it is John Kerry. What about all his wonderful work with George W. Bush and John McCain?
Wyoming: Wyoming PBS and Wyoming Public Radio will be covering debates tonight for the party nominations for the state’s house seat and both senate seats. Gary Trauner has no opponent so he will not be debating.

He also raised about $22,800 with the help of Daily Kos, a widely known blog.Johanns’ biggest contributors were businesses, including ConAgra Foods and the Alltel Corp.

Mississippi: I don’t share much in common with Ronnie Musgrove but I am encouraged to see that he is endorsing the Employee Freedom Choice Act. Meanwhile, Erik Fleming is trying to get Thad Cochran to pledge that he will serve out a full six-year term (unlike Trent Lott) if he is reelected.
Alabama: The Alabama AFL-CIO has endorsed Vivian Figures and Barack Obama.
Georgia: Georgia has its runoff primary tomorrow. Pray for Jim Martin.

North Carolina: Kay Hagan does not pander to oil companies like Sen. Liddy (Nowhere) Dole.
New Mexico: No one is even writing about the Udall-Pearce race anymore. It’s that big of a blowout.
