Fritz Hollings is a goner. Glad to see Inez isn't running -- she would be a really tough candidate to face.

Congressman John Spratt (D)?
To: LdSentinal
Oh yeah, and Hodges.
To: LdSentinal
I doubt Spratt would want to give up his seat in Congress for a chance at the senate. He'll turn 62 right before the election and probably won't lose his district until he retires or dies, but there's no reason to think he'd be strong statewide. Hodges just took a job at a North Carolina consulting (?) group ("They work on things in both Carolinas") and is unlikely to want to get his butt kicked again.
Former congressman Robin Tallon is the only name listed on politics1.com for the Ds.

If Hollings throws in the towel, how many more Dems will say the party's over and retire?
To: nospinzone
We can only hope...
To: nospinzone; NYC Republican
2004 ain't gonna be pretty for Senate Dems. Miller, Daschle and Hollings will all retire, and so will Graham if he doesn't get the prez or veep nomination. Edwards will lose for sure. Reid will probably retire rather than lose in Nev.
The only question is whether the pubbies pick up five seats, or ten.

I'd love to see Reid trying to convince Nevadans to keep him because he *might* become the new leader of the minority in the Senate someday. Given the swing to the GOP in Nevada in 2002 and his own thin as paper victory in 1998, he must be sweating bullets.

You reminded me of how I answered the phone on our last election night..."There's a Republican breeeeeeeze blowin out thare."

Haha! Lotsa retirin' indeed. Anyway, I think it's about time Robert "KKK" Byrd goes as well, as I think someone mentioned. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty WRONG!!

Sheets Byrd isn't up until 2006. The King of Pork(TM) got 80% of the vote in 2000. He'll be in that seat until he meets his only friend, his old dog Billy, in the great beyond.

Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.

Could be, but it seems Rep. Jim Gibbons will be given first crack. Looks like a solid guy, and until up to 2002 he was half of Nevada's congressional delegation.
To: nospinzone
Does anyone here have statistics on how many Republicans have had two term presidencies versus Democrats?
To: JohnnyZ
Inez Tennenbaum is running after all. So this race is not a certain Republican pick-up after all. In addition, Congressman James DeMint has voted for some free-trade legislation, which is unpopular in South Carolina. This race could easily go either way.
