I'm not sure anybody is better than the Democrats at finding ways to lose elections to complete pieces of garbage.

The Republican candidate for governor is a complete right-wing buffoon. He was by far the most socially conservative candidate among the four or five Republicans in the primary this spring. He is one of those guys who thinks all of society's problems come from gay people, people who believe in evolution, etc. He won the primary despite receiving a pretty low percentage of the votes because the top four guys split the votes almost evenly. He has subsequently run a completely toothless general election campaign in which he has refused to divulge his own tax history or his plan for the state budget. How the hell could a bumbling bozo like this get elected in a state like Illinois that leans blue? Well the polls are close and he very well might win....because he's running against Pat Quinn. The really sad thing is that I actually like Quinn a whole lot more than I like the Democrats' other candidate for major statewide office (Alexi Giannoulias) who is such a waste of time that I may end up voting for the Green Party in that election....which is what the Dems forced me to do four years ago in the governor's race because they re-nominated Blagojevich. It's freaking ridiculous.

 The Repubs already definitively lost their likelihood of taking over the Senate, which was a given before candidates like Christine O'Donnell appeared.Now getting the 40 or so they need to take over the House even appears to be coming up for grabs in this final two weeks. We'll see. I'm from Illinois, and I think what's happening as Miraja describes with Quinn/Brady is true in many other states, too. I'm not thrilled with Jack Conway, but no way in hell can I vote for an extremist.

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/ He is easily the most accurate forecaster of political races. The GOP was never a given to take the senate and they are a lock to take control of the house.
