Losing the Senate Too
It all comes down three races too close too call.
(Page 2 of 2)
Washington: Stick a fork in Mike McGavick. Senator Maria Cantwell wins this one going away. Democratic Hold.
Democrats 51, Republicans 49 -- can you say Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid? If that triggers your gag reflex, don't feel too bad. As I noted, Missouri, Montana, and Virginia are very hard to call, and if any one of them goes against my prediction, the GOP will hang on to the Senate.
Final thought: About two years ago it looked like the Republicans had an outside chance of getting a veto-proof 60 Senators. Now they are struggling just to maintain their majority. How disappointing.
