While most of the incumbents will probably keep their seats, I do not think it is a stretch to conclude that all the Republican retirees, except Craig and Stevens (criminal prosecutions), saw that the stream was too swift for them to swim against.

- "In the 2008 election, 35 Senate seats are being contested. 23 of those seats are held by Republicans and 12 by Democrats.
Even an even split of contested seats would give the Democrats a gain of 6 (or 7) seats.
With an electorate that is, with good cause, ready to clean house, it is probable that Democrats will have a substantial majority to get the country moving forward again in 2009."

- I can see Obama too....
Iranian President:
Mr. Obama, what can we do to stop the US jihad against the Islamic states in the middle east...
Obama:
Well, when I was working down on the southside of Chicago, we got together some committees and raised some money those kids....
or:
Obama:
I don''t know, sir. I voted against the war, but Hillary voted for it! And so did Edwards...

- The Senate is presently composed of 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats.

- What"s more, I can see Bush out of it.

Bush is out in any case, term limits an all. It is very important that the Demons run Hillary or Obama or both for the GOP party''s sake. LOL - Reply to this comment
- South Carolina is a SOLID Republican state....
EVEN IF Obama wins it in the Primary... it''''''''s meaningless!!! It won''''''''t bring him any momentum.
Lucky him, though, the Blacks in S.C. feel VERY Obligated to vote for him.

- Barack Hussein Obama needs to stop destroying the Democratic Party... his manipulating and polarizing character and race devisive antics are only hurting America. Next thing you know he will be attending all the Black Churches in the South in an attempt to steal the vote. IF YOU SUPPORT OBAMA, YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR OSAMA.
