Republicans catch a huge break in Washington State

Dino Rossi, the loser of te 2004 governor's race in Washington, has decided to take on incumbent Patty Murray. First elected in 1992, Murray is looking for a fourth term in what should be her hardest election to date. A doctrinaire liberal, Murray is a leader in the Democratic caucus and should, in a normal year, be the odds-on favorite to win in November. In 2004, Rossi lost the governor's race by a little over a hundred votes in a recount process where he led for about four weeks and then was declared the loser as additional votes from Democratic King County kept popping up. A moderate, Rossi is proabably the only Republican who has a real shot at beating Murray and I give him about a 50% chance to do so. This is how I see the Senate races right now:

Flip to GOP:
North Dakota
Delaware
Indiana
Arkansas

Leaning GOP:
Illinois
Nevada
Colorado
New Hampshire
Missouri

Toss UP:
Ohio
Pennsylvania
California
Washington

Solid Dem:
Wisconsin
NY (Special)

Who Knows?
Florida-If Charlie Christ does win the election with which party will he caucus? Nobody knows.

  1. Thanks for the update. The American people are fed up. Goodbye Harry Reid and, hopefully, Boxer, and the liberals who think we are morans.
