Al Hunt is saying that the loss of the Senate is a real possibility for the Democrats

[still_one]

The Democrats have perhaps 2 months to get there act together, and since we lost Kennedy's seat I can tell you I am underwhelmed by Tim Kaine's performance

I have no doubt the the economy is a factor, but I also think it is also the Democrats who are running lack passion.

Having the HCR bill and the Financial reform bill written by the lobbyists will not help the Democrats in 2008, since neither bill have helped the economy or the job outlook

13. Al Hunt has been a political analyst for quite some time, and no he is not a shrill /nt

[FBaggins]

20. He's also hardly alone.

A number of analysts have said that the chances of Republicans taking back the Senate have risen to somewhere in that 25%-33% range (largely depending on what you assume Lieberman and/or Nelson would do if things got close).

[DrDan]

3. the economy is THE factor

this has been stated over and over and over . . . . it is not new

[FBaggins]

6. You left off the "stupid"

As true now as it was then.

Unfortunately... it's far too late for the economy to turn around (noticeably) in time for the election. What can change is what we propose to do about it... and what other policies/programs might attract favorable attention.

5. The guy down the road says the world is

going to end in 2012 because of some Mayan calendar thing. Is he any less valid than whoever this Al Hunt dude is?

17. Lee Mercer Jr. says that

Jeb Bush is all in his house with disease.

[hedgehog]

12. And this would change things how? What's the difference between having

49 Democratic votes and 59?

[Autumn]

14. We have to make sure the republicans

don't get what they want. That must be the reason.

[still_one]

15. Let's see, uh, oh the majority would control the legislative agenda that's how

[FBaggins]

19. Not a lesson you want to learn.

The answer is "massive"
