2008 Senate predictions

[Keystone Phil]

New Predictions for Me:
Republican Pickup:
LA: Kennedy def. Landrieu
NJ: Christie def. Lautenberg (but would lose to Andrews)
MT: Rehburg def. Baucus
MI: Candice Miller def. Levin
SD: Mike Rounds def. Tim Johnson

Democrat Pickup:
MS: Gene Taylor def. Chip Pickering

Slight Holds:
CO: Bill Owens def. Mark Udall
NM: Heather Wilson def. Tom Udall
NH: John Sununu def. Paul Hodes
MA: Marty Meehan def. Christy Mihos

Probably some other I'm leaving off

+4 GOP

In NM, Domenici is running again and Cochran better be running again in MS.

Why does no one else think Denny Rehburg would defeat Max Baucus?

Because no one else is hackish enough to believe that?

It can happen. A Rehberg candidacy would be very interesting but Baucus has the clear advantage.

[Keystone Phil]

I think he could win......I don't know what he is waiting for.  

Please remember that he lost a close race to Baucus for the seat in 1996.

Because no one believes Denny Rehburg will even run against Baucus.

That isn't all that wise to completely rule it out. As stated above, he has done it before.
