Risch will dispatch LaRocco easily.<br/><br/>On MA, it really is a dissapointment. Like you said Taniel, it isn't a big loos for the GOP because for Ogonowski, running in an open special election in a moderate district is nonthing compared to running in a general election against an incumbent who represents the entire state. MA was kinda like the Democratic version of the OK race: the icumbent isn't very popular but his state is so strongly favored for his party that he is safe anyway. Unlike OK, the MA GOP has ruined any chance of evening touching Kerry now. Idaho is definitely the safest of the open seats. Risch will dispatch LaRocco easily.

Although I know Kerry would win re-election, Ogonowski was a credible candidate. Major blunder, and there is no telling how much more damage is right down the pike.
