Tight Senate Squeeze

With three weeks left, the GOP appears positioned to hold its Senate majority -- by a hair.

(Page 2 of 2)

Virginia: For a while, it seemed like George Allen was doing everything to lose this race. From the Macaca incident to questions about his mother's heritage, Allen's campaign seemed to fumble the ball constantly. Things appeared to have calmed down as of late, and no poll since early September has shown Jim Webb with a lead. Leans Republican.

Washington: Maria Cantwell's lead over Mike McGavick continues to look solid. Leans Democrat.

If the tossup race in Tennessee goes the GOP's way, and every other race holds to form, then the GOP will lose four seats. All things considered, keeping a 51-seat majority wouldn't be all that bad. But with only three weeks left, it also means the Republicans have no margin for error.
