Democrats have four new senate seats in the bag and are likely to keep New Jersey as well. That means whomever wins two out of three in Tenn, Virginia and Missouri gets the senate. Right now, McCaskill is looking good in Missouri so Tenn and Virginia will decide it and the GOP needs them both. Even if the GOP were to hold on there by one vote, the swing votes would be in the hands of anti Bushie moderate-liberal GOP senators like Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. Also Arlen Specter has said impeachment of Bush is not off the table for his illegal wiretapping. So goodbye Frist and Santorum and hello a moderate more honest GOP senate or a democratic one. Either way, they won't protect the rightwing agenda of Bush-Cheney. Over in congress, it's an anti-rightwing tsunami. I don't see any way the GOP hangs on. In fact it may even be a complete wipeout of all 40-55 vulnerable seats and a few which which weren't seen as vulnerable. 15 seats is now an easy goal to achieve for the Dems and everyone in the GOP hierarchy knows it. They can pick up most of those in the northeast alone. So the best the GOP can do is try and hold onto the senate, but just by a thread, and a more liberal senate altogether.
