I was talking to a friend the other day, who made a good point: the media has lurched from one shiny object in the senate races to another — Kansas, South Dakota, and now Georgia — that have all played into the narrative that it’s all about to fall apart for Republicans. This has tended to obscure the fact that it is shaping up to be a very good cycle for the GOP. While all those places are trouble spots, Roberts has led in three of the last four polls and is now tied with Orman in the Real Clear average, and Rounds has never trailed. (Of course, if Roberts and Rounds were better candidates, their races never would have slid in the wrong direction to begin with.)
