I doubt Hollings is vulnerable. What about Murray?

I doubt Hollings is vulnerable.

I think he has to be considered a prime target. He'll be a couple months shy of 83 years old in November 2004 (not that that ever hurt Strom Thurmond!), he drew less than 53% of the vote last time, he's made some very negative (and downright silly) comments about President Bush these last couple years, and Bush himself will be on the ballot in a strong GOP state. I would expect 2004 to be Hollings' toughest challenge yet (assuming a strong challenger, of course).

He was vulnerable in 1998, but he won't be in 2004?

Carroll Campbell declined to run (he wanted to make his millions to take care of his family-- children and grandchildren), but was leading in all the polls.

[Fledermaus]

I doubt Hollings would even run.
