Rove said today on the radio that there were 16 and all had margins larger than 59 while there were 2 dem open seats where Kerry had margins of like 4. Perhaps I misheard or he misspoke. I'll go with what you say, you're more reliable than the Republican Party. :-}
I am just staring at the numbers on my spreadsheet. Maybe what Rove meant, is that there are only two open seats GOP seats that Bush lost, to wit, the Nussle seat, and the Beauprez seat. But you know from the list, that it is ludcrious to suggest Bush won any of them by 59%. The closest is the Kennedy seat at 57%.
