GOP Faces Growing Peril In 2008 Races – washingtonpost.com
Senate Prospects Dimming, By Jonathan Weisman and Chris Cillizza, Washington Post Staff Writer and washingtonpost.com Staff Writer

A Senate electoral playing field that was already wide open for 2008 has become considerably more perilous for Republicans with the retirement of Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.) and the resignation of scandal-scarred Sen. Larry E. Craig (R-Idaho).

Republicans need a net gain of just one seat to take back control of the Senate, but they have 22 seats to defend, and campaign cash is conspicuously lacking. Warner’s retirement raised to two the number of open Republican seats, and both of them — in Virginia and Colorado — are prime targets for Democrats.

“It’s always darkest right before you get clobbered over the head with a pipe wrench. But then it actually does get darker,” said a GOP pollster who insisted on anonymity in order to speak candidly.
