Exactly DMI. also if you look at the Senate races of 1994, only 2 Dem Incumbents lost:
1. Sasser-Tenn
2. Wofford- Penn
The rest were open seats from retirements:
1. Mitchell- Maine (Snowe)
2. Boren- OK (Inahofe)
3. Matthews-Tenn (old AL Gore seat went to Thompson)
4. Deconcini- AZ- (Kyl)
5. Metzenbaum-OH (Dewine)
6. Reigle- Mich- (Abraham) 8 GOP pickups before Shelby(Bama) and Campbell(CO) switched.
In 2006 Frist is the only open Senate seat for the GOP

Ashcroft also won in 1994 when Danforth retired.

Well, the whole reason that Shays is in so much trouble is because he supports the Iraq war, so your second item is definitely off-base..That was the reason he was in trouble. However, two weeks ago Shays reversed his position on Iraq 180 degrees, and is now a full-fledged Cindy Sheehanite, calling for an immediate timetable for withdrawal. I'm not quite sure why Shays identifies as a Republican...

If you attack those in the middle, you leave the impression that those farther to the left have the right attitude. That is true, but Shays and Chafee are not in the middle. They have always been liberal.

Right but not a pickup mate. Danforth was a pubbie.
It would be interesting to see how many DEM open seats in 1994 from the House.

Lieberman and Shays voters are often one in the same so your comparison doesnt fit. I will be voting for both for example. There was also an article in the Stamford Advocate recently pointing out they share the same fundraising base in CT as well. Both have been on record in support of the war. Shays has to moderate it on that subject as its unpopular here.
