WHO WILL BE THE ELEVENTH DEMOCRATIC SENATOR IN NOVEMBER?

Jim Slattery could take them both out in one shot

I don't foresee-- not this year-- a 1936-type scenario that saw just 16 Republicans left in the Senate after the elections. But we're headed in that direction. Many progressive groups talk about a net gain of 10 seats-- which, they say, would make it impossible for the GOP to obstruct legislation with filibusters like they did for the past 2 years. It looks likely that there will be new Democratic senators in Virginia, New Hampshire, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon (where desperate Republican incumbent Gordon Smith is running ads claiming he works well with his pal Barack Obama), Colorado, Minnesota, Alaska with possibilities in Oklahoma, Texas, North Carolina, Idaho, Mississippi and Nebraska. And now there is even talk about... Kansas, where former Congressman Jim Slattery is starting to gain on incumbent Pat Roberts. Kansas hasn't elected a Democratic senator since McCain was a young child riding around on a burro in his native Panama.

The latest Rasmussen poll reports that Roberts led Slattery 48% to 39%. Every single Republican incumbent polling less than 55% in June of 2006 lost in November. In May, Roberts held 52%, The newest SUSA poll (May) shows Roberts with a 50% approval, another sign of coming defeat. Will Slattery be the man to allow the Democrats to relieve Lieberman of his chairman ship and tell him to go sit somewhere else?


UPDATE: MANY THINK WE SHOULDN'T WAIT FOR SLATTERY TO WIN BEFORE DEMOCRATS DUMP LIEBERMAN
