I've said it before, and I'll say it again for the zillionth time: Come January the RATS will be completely out of power on the federal level for the first time in fifty years. This absolutely seals it for the GOP. The Dems couldn't afford to lose a single seat, much less have one yanked out from under them ahead of time.
It is beautiful return karma for the Carnahan scam, don't you think? It'll be even more beautiful when that inept old biddy loses herself and has to clear out her office the next morning.
I'm not saying your prediction won't come true but have you seen Tim Hutchison's numbers lately? He aint going to hold that seat. The GOP needs to pick up 3 seats gross because they will lose Hutchison which offsets Torricelli and you need a one seat cushion so keep Chafee from "growing in office" just like Jumpin Jim.
