If Allen and Talent win, but Corker, Dewine, Santorum, Chaffee and Burns don't, then the GOP hangs onto the majority, but the power to decide votes goes to moderate/liberal Republicans like the two ladies from Maine. Those two definitely do not support Bushies. In other words it would be a deadlocked senate, but a Democratic congress. Also you have guys like Specter who think Bush is a criminal for his wiretapping program. He might not stand in the way of impeachment especially since he has nothing to lose. He's retiring after 2008 anyway. And Hagel has always been against Bush's war policy. Virginia, Missouri and Tennessee are the three races which will decide it. Whoever wins two out of three gets the power. There is also the Kyl-Pederson race in Ariz, but Kyl leads by 9%, however with less than 50%. Pederson could pull it out if the GOP falls a notch further. Remember, if incumbants do not have at least 50% they can be in trouble because historically undecideds break more for the challenger particularly in an anti-incumbant mood like we have today. So Dems could win anything from 4-8 seats. I think they will definitely win at least 3-4 which would make the senate very close to being even.
