I think it best that Republicans pay little attention to these "it's in the bag" articles and make sure they get out and VOTE.

[Luke21]

Aw heck, they'll just change candidates up til the day of the election like in Jersey, or invent bags of votes like in South Dakota. The AP writer need not worry about her beloved party.

That goes as unsaid


Send the rats to the stone age in 2004

but this is going to take alot of work to make it happen. Republicans can't afford to get lax and let the Rats pull off any upsets. We are at a point in time that is unprecedented for Republicans. We have the left in disarray and desperate. We must have that killer instinct and not let them get up off the mat.

only two Republican seats — Illinois and Pennsylvania — are in states where Al Gore (news - web sites) prevailed.

Iowa, Chuck Grassley.

Geez, this story has already been written several times, you would think the author would have gotten his facts straight.

I think we lose Fitzgerald's seat in Illinois but hold the rest of ours. In addition, we could easily pick up 5-6 RAT seats. If everything goes perfectly, we might even get the 60 seats we need to completely shut out the RATS.

We need to keep Pelosi and Daschle talking!

DUH!

We need to keep Pelosi and Daschle talking!

I don't think that will be a problem!

[ladtx]

Wonder if we'll see a mess of Senate dems suddenly decide it's time to retire? I expect we'll see many. The handwriting is on the wall. Then I think we'll see a bunch of extreeeeeme lefties try to take their place, they'll be called cannon fodder.

[chiefqc]

A lot has to do with their excelent leadership:

Traitor tiny tommie as*hole

Nancy shiney face

Ugly cursty klintoon

Add additional names as you see fit, I'm sure there are many.

We need to keep Pelosi and Daschle talking!

hehehehehe not that that's hard to do.

big bump

This is a pretty bad article. No mention of the West, the Dakotas. I guess it's mostly concerned with Graham and Edwards, but the rest of it is terribly shoddy. Here's the full list of states won by the "other" presidential candidate:

Bush: SC, NC, NoDak, SoDak, GA, Indiana, Loosiana (+8%) --those are the seven mentioned, I guess, where Dubya won big -- plus Arkansas (+5.5%), Nevada (+3.5%), and Florida (E).

Gore -- Illinois (+12), Penn (+4), and Iowa (E)

I think that's it.

Between North Carolina and Florida, the Democrats' best hope in Georgia, Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), has decided not to seek re-election

Of course, whenever the subject comes up, we hear that ultra-RINO Congressman Johnny Isakson is a shoo-in for the nomination (and the White House choice, to boot). Which means a lot of us will be sitting out that race.

Going from 50 seats-- where we are with Fitzgerald's loss-- to 60 is a big hill to climb.
