I'm going to try to put together a set of links to the day's campaign news every day for the Huffington Post.

Here are a few from today:

LA Times/Bloomberg Poll: Democrats are leading 49% to 39% when registered voters are asked which party they intend to support for Congress this year.

The latest Keystone poll shows PA Treas. Bob Casey Jr. (D) leading Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) 45%-38%.

And the Patriot News says "most voters [are] already decided."

NBC News last night: Sen. George Allen (R-VA) has dramatically hurt his reelection bid with his recent campaign gaffes.

The American Prospect on Sherrod Brown's campaign for Senate in Ohio: "This is the campaign dreamed of by political writers like Thomas Frank and David Sirota, who insist that Democrats can become the majority party again -- can win back all those Values Voters -- only by returning to the economic populism they abandoned.

A senior staffer on Tom Kean (R-NJ) was busted posting fake comments about State Sen. Robert Menendez on a liberal New Jersey blog. The Kean team's defense: "It's a blog. You can't believe what's posted on blogs."

The Des Moines Register: "What triggers the buzz around Barack Obama? Hope."

American for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist and former Christian Coalition's Ralph Reed have had over 100 meetings at the Bush White House.

And a few from yesterday's papers:

The NY Observer: Can Mark Warner squeeze any more cash out of Hillary's donors?

Slate: "Dems need to win 15 of the 24 tossup races to take control. What's the chance of this happening?" Slate does the math.

Lieberman on Iraq yesterday: "Mistakes were made after Saddam (Hussein) was over-thrown." He didn't specify who made the mistakes.

Lieberman leading Lamont 47%-45% according to a poll released yesterday by American Research Group.
