Paul Witt at the Bully Pulpit has the rundown of candidates on the ballot, who's term limited, write-ins, and likely outcomes. He's not giving write-ins much of a chance, and thinks established candidates, including term-limited candidates and by extension party executives, are the winners.

I'll comment here since
I'll comment here since they're turned off on my own site.
Yes, I think that, unfortunately, most voters won't write people in. Even in races where the incumbent already had a challenger, the incumbent still stands a good chance of winning.
I'd rather it weren't that way but from the Dems side, I feel pretty good about the effort put into our write-ins. Which is why I said last week that I wasn't worried or afraid of anything. I just didn't want to give details at the time.
Democrats
Go to Paul's web site;it's the best & clearest explaination of the election I've seen...If you have ?'s for the Democrats...come to the Democrat meeting Thursday 6:30 @ the Labor Temple.
fresh air
Wow -- it does make it all a lot easier to understand. Good Job!
One more thing... my opinion
One more thing... my opinion on the outcomes is mostly due to me being a cynic, not a reflection on the candidates. Some of them I count as friends and really do hope they pull off a win. I'm just not holding my breath.
