Quick Hits-Pre-Election Predictions

  • In our latest guest column, Sadie Stein takes a hard look at New York's proposed trans-fats ban, and discovers the heretofore undisclosed threat of foreign espionage it poses.

  • Over at New Partisan, detailed state-by-state breakdowns and predictions of the Senate and gubernatorial races. Predictions: Dems pick up six Senate seats—just enough to take control—and six statehouses. Also, Caroline Mello predicts that evangelicals will stay home on Tuesday.
