Chris Dodd's CT Senate Seat: Still Up For Grabs?

According to Nate Silver over at FiveThirtyEight, Republicans can expand the Senate playing field by putting Connecticut and West Virginia into play.
Were they to win those states, Republicans could lose California, Delaware and Washington and still take claim of the Senate. And new polling suggests they could do just that.
The RCP polling average shows Democrat Dick Blumenthal at a four point advantage over Republican Linda McMahon in the Connecticut Senate race for Chris Dodd's vacated seat. Due to the low population of undecideds in the state at this late stage of the game, Nate Silver argues that this might be a pretty solid four point lead for Blumenthal. But newly-released ads like this one might just keep the seat up for grabs.

When a New Yorker, say on a car trip to Cape Cod, escapes Fairfield County CT, he'll realize that all of CT is not Liberal Rich Clueless Land. So, there is always hope...

Their first debate is tonight 10/04
My prediction -- Linda McMahon, with a reverse frankensteiner, third round.
The debate itself, from the Bushnell Memorial Theater in Hartford, will be broadcast live on Fox Connecticut, Channel 61, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern time. Fox Connecticut also will stream the coverage live at http://ctnow.com.
C-Span covers later (not live) but probably just right for the Left Coast

It's the people's seat, not Chris Dodd's.
