Landrieu Poll Results Spur Further Optimism For Dem Senate Gains

A couple of polls out of Louisiana show incumbent Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu with a surprisingly comfortable lead over her presumed challenger in a race where Republicans thought they had a decent shot at picking up a Senate seat.

The Landrieu polls have further spurred Democratic optimism at picking up a number of Senate seats this fall, including this piece from Markos "Daily Kos" Molitsas in the Hill: "GOP Facing Senate Doom."


The Kos predicts Democrats could control as many as 60 seats in the senior chamber by the time the dust settles. Still, it's a bit early, and the resolution of the Democratic presidential nominating contest will certainly have an impact. As of now, however, there are no endangered Democrats, and that's a good sign.

With any luck, we'll get enough folks that we can expel Lieberman from the party and/or re-assign him to the ethics committee. What a putz.
