The Senate: Tilting Toward A Democratic Majority?
What was once wishful thinking for Dems, now seems possible
It takes a lot for Kentucky voters to cross the aisle and vote for a Democrat for senate and just a week ago, candidate Bunning follies would be no more than a side show. But last night he skipped a second debate with his Democratic rival, not bothering to even phone it in from DC as in the first debate. It does not appear that Mr. Bunning is well and even the most ardent of Kentuckians should be second guessing his abilties at this point. This should be a solid GOP race, but events seem to be turning the tide.
What's even more surprising is that I've been preparing my office for planning our action items in case Bush gets the boot or control switches in the Senate. A month ago my board looked at me funny for talking about it, now we're seeing it as a distinct possibility.
