1. Better than nothing, I suppose

Were there some recent polls from Indiana showing that his chances of re-election improved in the last few days?

Color me cynical.

2. Actually Donnelly leads his opponent by 6 points

and the Republicans just didn't have a great candidate to run against Donnelly..
Joe Donnelly has the support of northwest Indiana (solid blue) and parts of the Southwest and southeast so I think he will win and I stated earlier that Kavanaugh's nomination would be in jeopardy if Donnelly and other Democrats I mentioned spoke out about the nominee

4. That is good to know.

I have been calling him and the other 7 "iffy" Dem and GOP senators for a few weeks. Maybe he isn't as "iffy". I also called the Dems...Heitkamp, Manchen and Jones. Heitkamp and Jones said he thinks Kavanaugh should be delayed until the victim is heard. I don't know where the last "iffy" Dem Sen. Manchin stands.
