Senate:
Martinez will win in Fla. Isakson takes Georgia. DeMint takes SC. It will be harder in NC and LA, but both can be won. Thune has a good shot at knocking off Daschle--as good a shot as anyone ever will.

We lose open seats in IL and CO, but hold onto OK and AK. WA is the dark horse race. Nothing else is competitive.

Conclusion: GOP gains two to five seats (probably three), but one of those gains is illusory because Zell Miller is being replaced by a "moderate" Republican.

Wishful thinking in Florida as Martinez is behind in the Primary. The Democrat candidate is taking a pro-military pro-war stance, and is also talking about being a budget hawk. Martinez needs to do something quick if he is gonna be the GOP nominee.

I don't think we will lose CO, OK or AK. IL is all but lost. If W starts to pull ahead we may pick up all five open southern seats (GA, SC, NC, FL and LA). Outside chance in SD. Thune has a chance. It's early still, allot can happen.

I love Zell, but get real. American Conservative Union lifetime ratings:

Isakson - 84
Miller - 65

And I think when all is said and done the GOP will keep CO.
