In More Grim News, GOP Writes Off Two Key Senate Seats
By Eric Kleefeld - June 13, 2008, 11:42AM

Wow, this one really spells trouble for the GOP this fall -- the guy in charge of the party's Senate races just basically wrote off the Republicans' chances in two of their five open seats.

At yesterday's Christian Science Monitor forum -- the same venue where he upgraded the GOP's goal to a potential three-seat loss -- NRSC chairman John Ensign was asked point-blank if the party was giving up on the open seats they currently hold in Virginia and New Mexico, where the Democratic nominees are way ahead of the Republicans in current polling.

Ensign said bluntly: "You don't waste money on races that don't need it or you can't win."

But now McCain -- he of the straight talk -- is trotting it out again.

FWIW, McCain isn't alone in this initiative.

"As part of their reforms France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden all use tax reliefs to encourage the development of private pension plans."
