GOP poobahs see the same tremendous opportunity in 2004 Senate races that I do:
Bainwol was Sancho Panza to Tennessee Sen. Bill Frist’s Don Quixote in what turned out to be a not-at-all quixotic attempt by Frist, the chairman of the NRSC, to re-establish Republican control of the Senate. Now Bainwol believes that the Democrats may be locked into minority status in the Senate for many years, during which the number of Republican seats is apt to reach the high 50s.If Suzanne Haik Terrell defeats Mary Landrieu, the Democratic incumbent, in Louisiana’s Dec. 7 runoff, Republicans will have 52 seats. And Republican ascendancy will, Bainwol thinks, accelerate in 2004. Then Democrats will be defending 19 seats, Republicans only 15 and the political geography will heavily favor the Republicans.
