John Edwards' announcement means a GOP third seat pick up in the South. He had low approval ratings at home and this IS really good news. Edwards got elected in the Clinton backlash in 98 and Lauch Faircloth wasn't that much of a terribly strong Senator. Right now the only GOP seat in trouble is in Illinois. It looks like we're set to expand our Senate majority by +2.

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and maybe Florida are in play for Republican pickups in '04.
