The recent numbers for santorum looked exceedingly grim.
Sure would be nice to unseat Byrd, I think it's possible.
Every close senate race except Colorado broke in favor of republicans last time.
I wouldn't expect the same to hold true this time, unless something drastic changes. I am suspecting that a lot of the decline in poll numbers recently reflects disaffection of the base with the GOP. Unless the current Administration and Congress starts acting remotely conservative on a variety of issues, I don't expect a lot of enthusiasm for getting out to the polls in 2006.
Good GOP chances in NJ and Wash..because of all the Dem scandals...voters in one of the states might just take it out on the Dem candidate..
Byrd will leave feet first; Santorum is toast.
