Rothenberg: Democrats could get to 60 Senate seats by 2010

I like Susan Collins. I wouldn't mind her getting re-elected.

Sununu is too conservative, although he probably got the message of last November and will moderate his views as the election progresses. He and Gregg are the only pro-life Senators left in the region.

What are the GOP's best three chances to pick up a seat in 2008 besides Landrieu?

I hope she manages to hold on, she is a great lady for not changing her views even though LA's demographics have changed. Breaux sucked up to Bush even when it wasn't necessary.

Tester barely winning after leading for the whole race makes me wonder how much longer our good luck can continue in Montana. After all, the state still voted 59% for Bush and swung to Dole against the national tide in 1996.

The Democrats would have held the Montana Senate without the floor-crosser; it was split 25-25. Also, the loss of the House in Montana should come as no surprise, given that the Democrats only won it in the first place because the Constitution and Republican Parties split the vote in the district the Constitution Party won this time.

Did I read that correctly, the Constitution Party won a district!?
