...very tight, down-to-the-wire races, which the Democrats ultimately pull off. "This is a late deciding state, historically," he told TIME. And indeed, a new poll out this week showed Menendez with a slight, four-point lead over Kean. The fallout over the Foley scandal could possibly tilt the race to Menendez, but Kean has tried to get out in front of that issue by calling for Hastert's head.

At least three groups--two that tilt Democratic and one Republican--are already generating controversy. Another, the September Fund, led by Hillary Clinton strategist Harold Ickes, is just getting under way. With the Democratic Party far behind Republicans in fund raising, this group of operatives hopes to reduce the G.O.P.'s advantage by raising $20 million to pour into advertising and other support for congressional campaigns and ballot initiatives...
