IS THE GOP IN TROUBLE IN 2008?

Jonathan Weisman and Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, two liberal journalists, have an article in today's Post that unfortunately spells out the problems facing the Senate GOP. The article points out that there are 22 seats to defend, very little campaign cash, and now two open seats, in Virginia and Colorado. Also up in the air is the seat in Nebraska, because Chuck Hagel hasn't announced whether he will retire or not. The only Democratic targets for the Republicans are the seats of Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Tim Johnson of South Dakota. It seems unlikely that Republicans will lose enough seats to give the Democrats the 60 Senators they need to have a veto proof majority, but they will probably lose a few more seats.
