If the Democrats name Governor Richardson for VP, this will be a difficult seat for us to keep. OTHERWISE, with John McCain as our candidate, we’re in good position to keep this seat. Republicans who are seven or eight points behind at this juncture aren’t in bad shape.
>> same comment regarding Minnesota, Virginia, and New Hampshire. I am thinking we can break even or maybe even net 1 this year (Louisiana). And, if Mike Huckabee can be persuaded to run for the Senate, our prospects for the Senate would move from slightly negative to neutral.
How about if McCain picks John Kerry or Al Gore for VP?
