Looks good for the pubs.

Around West Central Illinois there are alot of Lane (Lame) Evans & Obama signs. Evidently, they have joined forces, at least economically and they share the same sign, Evans on the top and Obama on the bottom.

Someone has taken a can a spray paint and spraying and "S" over the "b" in Obama.

Not that I would do that, but it does seem fitting.

Nice analysis, but I think the Dems keep Florida and North Carolina.

GOP +2
Bush + 3%, 25-30 electoral votes.
As Dan Rather would say, the races will be tighter than a rained-on rooster's ear wax.

Arkansas Senate race PING!

Go Jim Holt!

It's amazing - even here in an agricultural area, everyone I mention Jim Holt to - upon hearing that he is challenging Blanche Lincoln - say anyone running against that hag has my vote. I hope this is a trend.

After the stunt her and our other Senator - Pryor- pulled their little stunt last week - voting contrary to what the vast majority of Arkansans wanted on the whole Firearms Manufacturer's protection bill (and voting to add the junk that ultimately killed what had been a good bill), I feel that the majority of Arkansas (at least for now - short memory) is tired of their towing the liberal's party line.

We will have to remind the voters in this state of Lincoln's transgressions against her constituents come November!

Any word from Georgia as to who is in the lead for the GOP nomination? Here's hoping Herman Cain wins.

I think your analysis of Illinois is dead on. What looked to be a machine victory with Hynes is now very unpredictable since it appears its candidate may not prevail.

Obama will have a much more difficult time winning than the Machine Man imho. For this reason I am seriously thinking of voting in the RAT primary for him.

I agree, on the whole -- 4 seat gain.

At least that's what I'm predicting, on my mostly but not entirely updated web site.

Two corrections: “squeaky clean” Wisconsin -> "stinky cheese" Wisconsin, Barrack -> Barack. Also EJ Pipkin has been chosen as the nominee in Maryland.

I think you got the two states I am involved with, Oregon and Washington, nailed.

Washington is a chance, Oregon is safe for Ron.

Good analysis. I disagree with IL though. Its Rat territory now.

Arkansas Senate race PING! Maybe this time I'll actually post the names in the "To" window...duhhhh.... Go Jim Go!

[Rummyfan]

Please, please Nethercutt knock off Osama Patty! I would be happy with that one pick up!

Schumer would be nice too but it's very doubtful. And Mikulski....... An early Christmas perhaps?

[votelife]

if Martinez wins FL and he's a good campaigner (haven't seen him) then I say he's a lock. He'd be the 1st Hispanic Senator if I'm right. Jeb is very popular in FL.

I have been keeping an updated Senate 2004 Map & Candidate listing for a Current Events Group meeting monthly. This information is wonderful and I have made the appropriate changes/additions. The most encouraging is your thoughts on the possibility of a 4 seat pick up. We need some positive thoughts during this time of BUSH BASHING. And then another terror attack today is so horrific. Our President has just so many things on his plate that we need to all help with the Senate seats as much as possible and he will be there to do his part and help with the money in due time. I am also contributing to the NRSC from time to time to help us take some of these seats. Keep up your thoughts as they are helpful. One question: Didn't know Beasley was running in SC...could you shed some more light. Have relatives in SC and I have to keep them informed? Thought it was only DeMitt as I know Bush as been there on several occasions with him.

Thanks, Magnum Fan, for the thoughtful analysis.

I do hope you're wrong about CA, and the Jones/Boxer battle will be helped by the sheer force of Arnold's personality. But then again, if support for Arnold goes south, which it likely will over the DL's for illegals, that's bad news for Jones. :'-(

I'd venture that CO is a toss up at best now with Owens and others opting out of the race......
