CALIFORNIA - DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D)
-Given the poor performance of Bush in California will the Republicans even contest this seat?
No, if she runs. I think that might be a big if.
FLORIDA - BILL NELSON (D)
-Will he be the next southern democrat to go down to defeat?
It would be tough to beat him. We didn't beat Graham. He retired. I think that was instrumental in the pick-up. All of those seats we picked up in the South were open seats. We didn't even try to knock-off Lincoln.
MAINE - OLYMPIA SNOWE (R)
- Isn't she a RHINO [sic]? Will she be targeted in the primary?
In Maine, no. She's not a RINO.
NORTH DAKOTA - KENT CONRAD (D)
A repeat of South Dakota?
Conrad isn't Daschle. Daschle was very public about his attacks against Bush. Conrad doesn't get the press Daschle did.
PENNSYLVANIA - RICK SANTORUM (R)
Seems out of step with Pennsylvania, but I'm guessing he'll win.
Barb Hafer will give him a good race, for sure.
RHODE ISLAND - LINCOLN CHAFEE (R)
Another RHINO [sic] that will be targeted.
He didn't even vote for Bush. He's safe.
