Knocking off congressional leaders like this is so rare. It could happen this year though. Since Repubs are struggling in other states, unfortunately, (even FL!) a gain in SD would be huge, and would go a long way towards maintaining or expanding the GOP majority.
Yup. I believe, however, that Mell Martinez will win handily (I could be wrong, but I believe it). And, if the trend continues in Bush's favor (keep it the month of August for Kerry), then the 'rats are in trouble across the board.
I only wish we could get a super majority in the Senate to invoke cloture. That may not happen, but let's pray for it :o)
