With McCain turning into Mr. McNasty and turning off Independents- will it also turn off many to the Repub Senate candidates..... Say what?

CQ Politics has a good article

on the state of the races for Congress. Their projection is that the Democrats are going to pick up 6-12 seats in the Senate. The upper end of this range was absolutely inconceivable six months ago, but 61 merely requires winning all the ties. A gain of 11 seats is not unprecedented; the Republicans picked up 12 Senate seats in 1980 in the Reagan landslide. Half a year ago the Democrats were worried about losing Louisiana. Now Louisiana is in the bag and they are drooling at the possibility of winning Senate races in Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky, none of which seemed remotely possible then. The odds of getting 60 seats in the Senate (needed to invoke cloture) probably aren't 50-50 yet, but are getting closer.
