Curious.. I agree about SC and GA. FL I am not so sure about...but NC? Bowles is 10% ahead in polls I have been seeing. Do we really think we can win this one?

OK is a possiblity for us to lose, but less of one since we nominated Coburn. AK is another one that the R is polling behind the demoncrat.

I like the enthusiasm, but I am not so optimistic. I hope that I am wrong...but here is Seattle, I am surrounded by rats everywhere...

My understanding of NC is that Bowles, because of his previous run, is a well-known name. Most of the Republican's problems come from lack of name recognition, much of which will be offset by advertising and debates.

Also, did Bowles not have a lead over Dole in 2000?
