| #17 Bruning will probably take it, but remember that even Kerrey would be to the right of Chuck on the war. |

| #16 And as far as Hagel goes: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Chuckie - you don't need any more brain damage. |

| #15 #10 Frank: "Warner (D) has a good shot in VA, but so does the GOP, IIUC." Provided the GOP runs someone electable, such as Eric Cantor, and provided they keep reminding the voters that Warner |

| #14 Verlaine - agreed that Warner, previously a bulwark, changed this last year - so I'd deal with the reality and move on. Graham has been strong on Iraq IIRC, but a pissant on judges and immigration. Bob Kerrey can be tied to Norman |

| #13 And in Nebraska, there's at least a chance that Bob Kerrey would return as the D - far and away one of the best Ds around, on national security matters (all relative, don't jump all over me). Warner was never a Hagel/McCain/et al media strumpet, really more of an establishment regular who I think has lost some steam in his later days. I'd have preferred to see Hagel bumped in the primary, but gone is gone. Now, as Nimble mentioned, perhaps Senator All this represents improvement, but my estimation of the cowardice and mediocrity of the entire GOP won't change much. And it's only a long-shot that the return of a Bob Kerrey would embolden the few decent Ds (Bayh, et al) to rediscover their spines and brains. Smart money still says we survive the jihadi morons and the statist losers and prosper, but at much greater cost and with far less honor than if common sense prevailed. |

| #10 in neither state is it certain there will be a party change. Warner (D) has a good shot in VA, but so does the GOP, IIUC. In Hagel's case, he was already polling below a GOP challenger, Jon Bruning. Good riddance to both "mavericks", who put media-love ahead of party on Iraq |

| #9 The fact that the seats of Senators Hagel and Warner will be up for grabs makes it even more critical that a tolerable outcome is reached vis a vis Iraq. The alternative is the ascendance of the left wing of the Democratic Party for a number of years, a prospect almost too dreary to contemplate. |

| #2 There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall And the bells in the steeple too And up in the nursery an absurd little bird Is popping out to say "cuckoo" Regretfully they tell us But firmly they compel us To say goodbye to you So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu ... |
