A couple rejoinders:

(Arkansas) Blanch Lincoln -- odds are in her favor, but possible GOP pickup if Huckabee or Asa Hutchinson were to run.

(California) Boxer -- DiFi's weak sister is vulnerable to a strong challenger -- coordinate with Dubya's campaign and pour resources into the race.

Florida) Bob Graham -- could be an open seat, otherwise unlikely.

(Georgia) Zell Miller -- Probably an open seat: probably run a congressional candidate.

(Nevada) Harry Reid -- Beatable, but very unlikely he won by 500 votes last time and has thousands of new voters -- he will likely face Rep. Jim Gibbons. Toss-up.

(North Carolina) John Edwards -- if not Johnny, Erskine would be a strong candidate if he ran again -- ditto for one or two other rats. Rep Richard Burr for the GOP in any case. Lean GOP.

(North Dakota) Byron Dorgan -- Dubya wants to convince a reluctant ex-Gov. Schafer to run: poll has race at 49-44 Dorgan.

(South Carolina) Ernest Hollings -- He's toast, new voters to state don't like dinosaurs, hopefully Rep Jim DeMint will be the one to take him down. Hollings' aide has been squashing retirement rumors and pushing the line that Hollings will now have the influence that Strom had.

(South Dakota) Daschle -- hopefully open, could be Janklow or Thune.

(Vermont) Pat Leahy -- please let's give him a real challenge, even if we're gonna lose anyway.

(Washington) Osama's bitch -- May now be vulnerable to a strong challenge, again coordinated with Dubya's campaign.

(Wisconsin) Russ Feingold -- Shouldn't be safe and isn't -- Russ won by a pubic hair last time and is more vulnerable than Wellstone was in Minnesota.

Johnny Z is right on many of these races. And in California, the objective is not to defeat Boxer, but to make the RATS spend a fortune defending the seat. No free ride.
