Here's an interesting blog post by Nate Silver, a dreamboat of sorts for politically-minded stats nerds everywhere, in which he looks at the issues that Republican and Democratic Congressional candidates in toss-up districts are focusing on in the run-up to the 2010 midterms. He notes that (as is par for the course) Republicans seem to have the more coherent and consistent message--they'll repeal health care reform, secure the border and shrink the size of government--while Democrats are having a harder time articulating why it is that voters should vote for them.
