Nothing is guaranteed (although Spitzer as governor is pretty damn close).

As far as Republicans defeating an incumbent Democrat, Illinois is probably their best shot.

Iowa is looking good for Republicans (although there is no incumbent in that race).

Jim Nussle for the Republicans and so far, I don't think there is a solid Democratic candidate.

Chet Culver may or may not run for the Democrats.

The latest polls show Kilgore winning by a margin greater than the MOE.  It beginning to look like its his race to lose.

True, but it's still fairly early and Kaine is well within striking distance. The race won't really heat up until after Labor Day and Mark Warner hasn't done any real campaigning for Kaine yet.

Ben, are you voting in this race? Absentee?

And provided that the economic state of Ohio remains, they're likely to vote GOP for prez. in 2008

Why would they vote for the party whose economic policies have screwed so many of them over? Ohio has been one of the states hit hardest by the plutocratic Republican economic policies.

Potts is the wild card. He will take away more votes from Kilgore than he will from Kaine.

The race is still up for grabs. Way too early to make any solid prediction.
