Here's tonight's run-down of the Congressional races:

Uncle Ted To Address Alaska On Election Eve
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), who is widely expected to lose re-election as a result of his recent felony conviction, will make a final plea (no pun intended) for his political future tomorrow night. Stevens will air a two-minute TV ad across Alaska's media markets, making the case that he should be allowed to continue to serve as Alaska's senior Senator.

Minnesota GOP Mailer Lies About The Constitution
A mailer from the Minnesota Republican Party, provided to us by two different readers in the state, gets around the pitfall of implying that the presidential race is lost in its rhetorical efforts to keep the Democrats from getting 60 seats -- they just lie about how the Constitution works:

"The U.S. Senate could have a 'super majority' of 60 Democrats after this election, allowing them to pass laws without bipartisan input or teamwork," the mailer says. "Not even a Presidential Veto will be able to stop them." The actual threshold for overriding a presidential veto is 67 votes. Minnesota GOP spokesperson Gina Countryman refused to speak with Election Central to confirm or deny the authenticity of the mailer.

Poll: Franken Narrowly Ahead
A new Minneapolis Star Tribune poll poll gives Al Franken a four-point lead over Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN): Franken 42%, Coleman 38%, and Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley with 15%, with a ±4.1% margin of error. There are just as many polls right now with Coleman ahead as those with Franken ahead, and this race is going to be a coin toss all the way up to Election Night.

Poll: McConnell Pulls Ahead
The new SurveyUSA poll in Kentucky gives Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConell an eight-point lead, 53%-45%, over Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford. A week and a half ago, the two were tied 48%-48%.

Poll: Dems Could Sweep New Mexico House Races
A new round of polling from the Albuquerque Journal finds that the Democrats could potentially sweep the three House seats in New Mexico, with four-point leads in the open seats of GOP Reps. Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce, and a wide lead in the remaining, deep-blue seat. Wilson's seat is a swing district that the Republicans have consistently won in tight races for the last 40 years, while Pearce's deep-red district really ought to be an easy hold for the GOP under normal circumstances.

Gordon Smith Ad: "Moderate For Senate"
The new ad from Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), who is facing very steep odds in overcoming an early-vote lead by Democratic challenger Jeff Merkley, has this new ad declaring that Merkley will show no independence from the liberal agenda in Washington, and urging against one-party rule:

"Gordon Smith: Moderate for Senate," the announcer says. No part of the ad at all identifies Smith as a Republican, which would probably just damage him further in this blue state.
