With all the hoopla over Bush and Kerry, some of you may not have been paying close attention to the other races going on in this loaded US political season. I've read a good dozen or so Senate outlooks, and my blurry eyes and spinning brain kept getting lost in all the numbers and losing track of who, ultimately, was likely to control the Senate on November third. So I made my very own Senate outlook to figure it out (or add further confusion, depending on what you think of my predictions). The bad news is, we probably won't know who controls the Senate on November third. The good news, if you're a Democrat (or a person who loves one), is that my best guess at this point is that when the dust settles, Democrats will probably be in control by the very slimmest possible margin. Shock! But everyone knows the Dems have no chance of taking either house of Congress. I think everyone hasn't been paying attention. Read on for my rundown.

LANDOVER, Md. -- For superstitious John Kerry supporters, Sunday&#39;s Washington Redskins defeat is reason to celebrate. Equally superstitious supporters of President George W. Bush have cause to worry.

Ciphering out the playoffs can test any man's (or woman's) patience. To wit: I still can't believe that the Redskins are in if they win. The same Redskins who skidded through the end of November on a four-game losing streak. If they should lose to the no-doubt-resting-their-starters Cowboys, the Vikings and the Saints are standing [...].

Running the country is no game. It just sounds like one sometimes. In the Bush White House, sports are a metaphor for life. Better keep up if you want to play.

It&#39;s like that television ad, &quot;Another loan lost to Ditech.&quot; This was another week lost to the Republicans. George W. Bush&#39;s proven failure to fulfill his National Guard duties

MANCHESTER, N.H., June 6 -- If there was an unexpected loser in Tuesday's Republican presidential debate, it was President Bush and his administration's record.

In the unpredictable world of politics, leads in the polls and candidates' confidence can evaporate in an instant. But President Bush and his campaign advisers are feeling pretty good these days about his chances.

Conditions are less than ideal, let us say, for President George W. Bush's last state of the union speech, to be delivered today. This is an administration that had precious little to boast about even before the economy began to nose-dive - a calamity that may not yet be plain in the figures but was certified by the Federal Reserve's dramatic interest rate cut last week. One wonders, how much worse can things get for this White House?
