"Rove's "majority plan" in early trouble"
Here is some good news. Check out this blog: http://www.dailykos.com/
<snip>
In the midst of doom and gloom with our current President's foibles and follies, we Democrats can take comfort from the collapse of the GOP Majority Plan for the Senate in 2004. What is this "Majority Plan", you ask? Well, it's simple. It's Karl Rove's plan to expand the GOP majority in the Senate to 55/60 seats, so that filibusters to save our country from right-wing legislation can't succeed. Luckily for us, that plan has failed this week.

There is much more...

1. Great article...
nice info about the various contested races around the country and how many republicans have surprisingly decided against running.

2. nice
I'm not sure about the Asa Hutchinson and the Ed Schafer refusals, and I doubt that Thune would run for his own seat, but it is pretty good analysis.

I have heard the Roy Moore thing elsewhere...it would be good if it gave us an opening, but imagine if he got in the Senate! :scared:

3. this is the first i've heard of Moore running a primary race
in Alabama against Shelby--if Dems could win that one with Folsom and a divided GOP we definitely can win back the senate next year.
