HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES? From OxBlog:

"TWO INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS TODAY MUST BE MAKING THE GOP VERY HAPPY. First, the Democratic mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, endorsed Republican gubernatorial canddiate Bobby Jindal. Nagin was the last major political figure in the state to issue an endorsement, and both Jindal and his Democratic opponent, Kathleen Blanco, wanted it badly. The race will be close. (Louisiana's election is on November 15.)

Also, Bob Graham has apparently decided that he won't run for reelection. When he dropped out of the presidential contest, it was seen as a blow to the GOP, which thought it could pick up his seat if he didn't run for reelection, but not if he did. Now that seat again appears very much in play.

Finally, tomorrow brings gubernatorial elections in Mississippi and Kentucky. Polls show the Republican candidates with a slight edge in both races. Democrat John Street looks set to keep the Philadelphia mayorship."
