The weekend TV Shows seemed to think for the most part that Republicans were well on their way to winning a majority in the Senate. However, the key to this will be money. The RNC will probably go deeply into debt, if need be, to ascertain that they will not lose due to a shortage of funds. Sam Donaldson, George Will, and Pat Buchanan think it a foregone conclusion that the Republicans take over the Senate.
Debates are key as well.
Over the weekend, estimates of 2 key Senatorial debates became apparent. Many thought that Michael Huffington had shown well in an Oct. 6th debate on the larry King Show. He also appears to be stilling rumors that his wife, the mystic greek Arrianna Huffington, is a Republican-Rasputin version of Hilary Rodham, who controls Huffington like a puppet. Huffington still has work to do, but has pulled even and holds the lead in cash. In a CA race, the money to advertise is crucial over the final weeks.
