Poll: Republicans Way Behind In Even Their Best Senate Pickup Opportunity
By Eric Kleefeld - April 14, 2008, 10:50AM

The GOP's single best pickup opportunity in the Senate right now is against Louisiana Dem Mary Landrieu -- but a new poll finds that she holds a solid lead over her Republican challenger, suggesting that this year's Senate map could be very rough indeed for the GOP.

The numbers from Rasmussen: Landrieu 55%, state Treasurer and ex-Dem John Kennedy (R) 39%. If Landrieu prevails this November, then the GOP is likely to be shut out on Senate pickups again, just as they were in 2006.

1. Well, that'll be some comfort for us if we blow the Presidential election

God knows if this drags on until August that's probably where we're headed.

2. Wouldn't really make a lot of difference as she votes with Republicans

most of the time....

3. Okay you gloomy gusses (not you OP) let's be HAPPY about this, shall we?

Geez...Dems are looking at a clean sweep of the House and Senate with very possible filibuster-proof majority. How about smiling a bit about that???

4. WB = a TROLL!

TIP: Take your mouse and drag in across the yellow envelope (Don't click) and at the bottom of the page is the count of whether poster is NEW.

5. Thank you! I thought this was happy news, too! nt

6. It depresses me that nobody seems to be paying attention to all of the

news about the House and Senate. We are poised to kick some serious booty in November and nobody seems to care about anything other than the Prez.

7. I've long been of the opinion that this year would be a blood bath

People around the country are finally getting tired of the RW bullshit and waking up to reality.

If there were some sane and rational conservatives out there, I would consider voting for them. But all of this bible banging, war-mongering, corporate love has been really hard on the country.

Hopefully, we can resurrect and strengthen the New Deal, including a meaningful health plan for all Americans and an end to corporate war fever.

8. Democrats must pick up 5 or 6 senate seats. This Lieberman choke-hold is dangerous...nt
