I think at this point everyone would agree that there’s more uncertainty about the outcomes of Senate races in Alaska, Oregon, Minnesota, Georgia, Kentucky, and Mississippi than there is about the outcome of the Presidential election. Obviously, the Presidential is much more significant than any one of those six races. But still, the six of them are, collectively, quite important with substantial national implications. And yet, national media sources (led, as ever in bad trends, by 24-hour cable) are giving about 50 times the coverage to the ins-and-outs of the presidential races as what they’re doing for the Senate races.
