Will GOP Meltdown Give Dems a Senate Majority?
What seemed unlikely a couple of weeks ago is now a very strong possibility -- a Democratic takeover of the U.S. Senate. As a result of the Foley cover-up, it is not hard to imagine droves of disgusted evangelicals staying home on November 7, and a healthy chunk of those who don't stay at home now deciding to vote Democratic. Indeed, the GOP leadership's internal rot is so redolent that many non-evangelical conservatives may do likewise.
You can read about it just about anywhere. But MyDD's Chris Bowers does a particularly good job of rolling out the GOP debacle in his recent posts "Democratic breeze Blowing in the Senate" and "Total Republican Collapse Imminent."
Dems can expect a desperate GOP counter-attack to deflect media attention any time now. Should be a wild ride.

Seeing the exit polls in Nov. will be interesting. If the GOP turnout is still good, what does that tell us of the motivation of the so-called values voters?
