What do you look for then?
A Republican win in Minnesota, Maryland or New Jersey? Those are the possible offsets I see.

Cantwell is safe? Since when? I also think that DeWine will win.

Also factor in that Lieberman might be in the Senate as an Independent.

Of the 4 in question, I would consider Santorum the only serious loss. I'm admittedly ignorant about Burns, but DeWine is an anti-gun RINO and Chafee is even worse.
I'm tired of seeing the GOP watered down by liberal RINOs, and I don't see any other way to get rid of them if they won't lose in primaries.

"Santorum's going to win."
He might, but polls have Santorum 6 to 18 points behind Bob Casey currently.

Chaffee is definitely no loss except in rear ends in the Republican chairs.
Burns is more one of the most reliable conservative votes in the Senate, but it doesn't look like he has a chance. Montana's in danger of becoming another Oregon/Washington, as are Colorado and New Mexico.

My finance and brother in law who is a big Repub up there in Montana seems to think Montana will stay Repub with Burns though he is linked big time with Abramhoff....he votes 100% but is kind of a scum bag a bit.....we shall see
To: kesg
You're right. Maria Cantwell's lead is shrinking to Mike McGavick, former CEO of Safeco insurance, who's putting a ton of his own money into the race. Cantwell's lead is down to 3 or 4 points, and her pro-Iraq war views may depress Democrat turnout.

It's hard to believe Montana would have 2 Democratic Senators.
If Cantwell loses in Washington and Burns wins, that would mean only 2 losses, as predicted above by another poster.

Kean will take Jersey and Santorum will win in Pa.!

If he manages to win as an Indy.

But there's a fringer running now and he can take votes away from Casey.
