At least according to this list, it looks like Republicans will lose at least four Senate seats, and if they are very unfortunate, as many as thirteen. While I personally expect GOP prospects to brighten, Senate Democrats may start thinking about a veto-proof majority (67) in 2010 if it starts looking any better for them.

If that wasn't bad enough for the GOP, Rasmussen Reports came out with a poll today showing minority leader Mitch McConnell trailing his challenger by 5%.
Wouldn't this make the GOP wake up and say, "Hey! Whatever we are doing... whatever message we portraying... whatever image we have..... we need to drop it and drop it like it's hot."
Instead they keep up their banter and keep on the same-old track of "staying the course." And I am not talking about just the war here, they do it with everything...
I think the GOPs only hope is to give the entire government up to the Democrats, let the Democrats ruin the country and point the finger and say "Ah-ha! See, we told you that we wern't the ones messing things up all along!"
The only Republican I would eat dinner with is Ron Paul. Someone that actually gives a shit about the Constitution.
