WASHINGTON—Democratic insiders, acknowledging little chance of recapturing the House in 2004, have all but given up hope of winning a Senate majority, unless there is such a transcendent development as an economic collapse.The early calculation in Democratic circles is for a net loss of four additional Senate seats, extending the present 51-49 Republican majority to 55-45. Democratic seats are in real jeopardy in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, South Dakota and Nevada.
In contrast, Alaska is the only Republican Senate seat up next year that clearly tilts to the Democrats.
And yet there’s no end to harsh rhetoric – which surely isn’t working for them – from some Democratic leaders. The Dixie Chicks may be selling records again, but are they helping the Democratic party?
