Democrats also are eyeing GOP Sen. Gordon Smith in OREGON and think they could have a chance for open seats in SOUTH CAROLINA and TENNESSEE.

Forget about SC, Dems. And I think Gordon Smith became pretty safe when Kitzhaber turned down the Dems.

In addition to the races listed above, I think the GOP has an outside shot at stealing Illinois from Durbin. And I'm quite surprised Baucus in Montana didn't make this target list. True, Baucus is loaded and the GOP didn't get Racicot to run, but the numbers in MT favor the Pubbies. I think the race closes up considerably now that the primary is over, though I still make Baucus the favorite.

Unfortunately, a lot of politicos like RNSC, Bush, and Grassley decided to stick their noses in our primary and we are stuck with Ganske in Iowa.

The superior candidate, Bill Salier, lost.

This man is phenomenol. Spent about $200,000and got 41% of the vote. He was a total unknown.

The last days former governor, Terry Branstad used the old trick of calling old people and telling them Bill Salier wanted to take away their SS.

There is a terrible taste left in the mouth of conservative Republicans in Iowa.

It remains to be seen if they will support RINO Ganske who is a clone of McCain.

My take:

John Sununu was the best thing about the first Bush administration. I hope he wins.

I am so ecstatic you like you wouldn't believe that the corrupt demagogues Phil Gramm and Jesse Helms are finally leaving. It's far past time. What makes it even better is that Democrats didn't have to beat them to get them out (as if they ever would have let that happen).

I don't know much about the rest, but it would be nice to see Tom Harkin out too.

This is truely an evil donkey's dream! Almost none of this pile of shiite has any fact behind it. In Oregon the barn dwellers thought they a candidate but they don't. In Arkansas Hutchinson was supposed to be wounded and the primary would show it because his base would not come out for him - he won with around 75%. I could go on and on, but the real tip off that this is just psy-ops from a Rat friendly skunk in the media, is that there is no mention of New Jersey. If they think the torch is well on his way to an easy race, they'd better think again. No one know jon corzine at this point in his race either. This story has got to be read along side of the bull shiite story that Shelby will switch back.

NORTH CAROLINA: Open seat currently held by retiring GOP incumbent Jesse Helms. Elizabeth Dole, a former transportation secretary, is the favorite for the GOP nomination and Erskine Bowles, a former Clinton chief of staff, has the edge for the Democrats. But the primary has been delayed indefinitely by legal battles over redistricting.

Favorite heck!! The RNC has already nominated her even before the primaries. And liberal? She is as liberal as the day is long. I still haven't seen Giddy Dolt and Erskine Bowles in the same place at the same time. Coincidence?

Here is a table of all the 2002 Senate elections with other background information. The green races are the best hopes for the GOP, the yellow are the best hope for the Dims.

How South Dakota can support Bush with a 23% margin over Algore and still vote in two Dim Senators is frustrating.
