Sen. Patty Murray's (D-WA) numbers are back up over 50 in some of the potential matchups against GOP opponents, per Rasmussen (5/4, 500 LVs, MoE +/- 4.5%). But in a head-to-head against potential candidate Dino Rossi (R), the race is still a toss-up.

Rossi, the two-time gubernatorial nominee, has still not announced his intentions. He told SeattlePI.com in an interview yesterday: "We are working some things through with the family and the feasibility of whether this can be done."

National Democrats have been launching some pre-emptive strikes with the expectation he eventually will run, something Rossi shrugged off. "After 18 years, is this all she has to run on?" he said.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), chair of the NRSC, said last week that his committee was waiting to do whatever it can for him.

"Dino Rossi is exactly the kind of person that I think we need as we rebuild the Republican brand nationally," Cornyn said. "I'm hopeful that he will pull the trigger. He's not there yet."
