To pull the Senate we need a candidate at the top who can pull them in.

We do not have a candidate at the top who has much of anything in common with most of the people running for the Senate and it shows.

There's a decided lack of communication.

BTW, not only did Romney and his cadre mess up the Virginia primary, he came here to campaign at three or four locations restricted to the very wealthy by invitation only.

Apparently he doesn't think it's worth going after Virginia voters.

It's a shame, because Democrats have so many seats to defend this year. We only need to win 4 of their seats to take control, and it's looking like the best we can do right now is pick up 3.

I'm hoping that it's still early, and that the polls will show more movement in the next two months.

Romney needs to build a national ticket and extend coattails, and make taking the Senate a part of his overall campaign.

If he doesn't do that, he will be hamstrung by a divided Congress. Even if he manages to win back the Senate, Republicans will have to manage the filibuster.

Personally, I think that the current Republican Senate leadership is tired, and needs to be replaced with fresh blood.
