The toss-up is between a system that guarantees safety but fosters dreary conformity, and one that doesn't protect China's athletes from pressure or failure but gives the great among them the opportunity to overcome great odds. ❋ Unknown (2011)

We have also seen new polls in the last 24 hours in three of the toss-up governor's races: ❋ Mark Blumenthal (2010)

It's a toss-up whether James O'Keefe will end up in the loony bin or prison. ❋ Robert J. Elisberg (2010)

Our trend estimate continues to give Kirk a very narrow advantage (42.3% to 41.2%) but still barely within a range we classify as a toss-up. ❋ Mark Blumenthal (2010)

Our trend estimate, which also considers four polls earlier in the month showing very narrow Kitzhaber leads, now gives Dudley a less than one-point margin (46.6 to 46.2%) -- this race is still very much a toss-up. ❋ Mark Blumenthal (2010)

Republican Ken Buck has led Democratic Senator Michael Bennet on our trend estimate all year long, but the new polls narrow Buck's lead to roughly one percentage point (46.9% to 45.7%) and his probability of winning to just 64%, well within what we consider the "toss-up" range. ❋ Mark Blumenthal (2010)

Although our trend estimate gives Kirk a slight advantage (40.6% to 39.2%), reflecting his nominal leads on five of the seven polls fielded in September, the race remains very much a "toss-up." ❋ The Huffington Post News Team (2010)
