David Broder lays it out:
What I heard here -- and in subsequent interviews at the National Governors Association convention in Charleston, S.C. -- from one Republican after another signaled serious trouble for the GOP across a broad swath of states from Pennsylvania to Oklahoma in key midterm election contests for House, Senate and governor.
The impression these Republicans had is that support for GOP candidates had nose-dived this summer -- in part because of the chaos conveyed by the daily televised scenes of destruction in Iraq and Lebanon and in part because of the dismal reputation built by the Republican Congress that is home to many of the endangered GOP candidates.
Remember, this is Republicans saying the GOP will lose big.
He even touches on Minnesota, noting that Mark Kennedy badly trails Amy Klobuchar in the Senate race.
It's only August, and never underestimate the ability of Democrats to fumble away a sure thing. But the signs increasingly point to a GOP massacre in November.
Mark Kennedy, Klobuchar, Minnesota, Ohio, politics, midtopia
