Coming for Halloween: The Chiding
Following in the footsteps of Florida and Ohio, this years contenders for "State Most Likely to Erupt in Voter Irregularities" that will miraculously favor Bush.
- Missouri: Democrat Claire McCaskill vs. incumbent Republican Sen. Jim Talent
- New Jersey: Incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez vs. Republican Tom Kean Jr.
- Tennessee: Republican Bob Corker vs. Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr.
- Virginia: Incumbent Republican Sen. George Allen vs Democrat Jim Webb
- Rhode Island: Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse has opened a slight lead over incumbent Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee
These are also important, but seem to clearly favor Dems, so are less likely to be in contention:
- Washington: Incumbent Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell has increased her sizable lead over Republican challenger Mike McGavick
- Pennsylvania: Republican Sen. Rick Santorum is well behind his Democratic challenger Bob Casey
- Ohio: Incumbent Republican Sen. Mike DeWine has fallen behind Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown
- Montana: Incumbent Republican Sen. Conrad Burns is now in a virtual tie with Democratic challenger Jon Tester
But, no complaining when the GOP is off the hook for the remainder of Bush's presidency. If two elections have been stolen, and nothing's been contested in more than 5 years... then (yadda, yadda, yadda).
