'If you have an R in front of your name, you better run scared,' says GOP senator

Mississippi, one of the nation's most conservative states, has not elected a Democratic senator in a quarter-century," notes an article in Sunday's LA Times, which adds that Republican presidential candidates have won the state's votes in seven straight elections.

"But this year, there is a real chance that the state will send a Democrat to the Senate," Janet Hooks writes.


That prospect is a window onto a remarkable political trend that has been eclipsed by the fireworks surrounding the 2008 presidential contest: Democrats are running strong Senate campaigns in states such as Mississippi, Alaska and North Carolina that Republicans have long taken for granted.

The outlook for the GOP is so grim that party leaders have readily conceded there is no chance they can regain control of the Senate in 2008, even though Democrats' current majority is slim, 51-49.

1. Republicans Aren't As Smart As They Were 35 Years Ago

When Republicans realized that Tricky Dick was a rotting albatross carcass around their necks, they offed him. Today's Rethugs don't have the good sense to toss Bush.

Pinheads.
