A Leader in the Senate Sees Sunny Skies for Democrats
WASHINGTON — To hear Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey describe it, Democrats are going to sweep the table in the Senate races next year.
Mr. Menendez, who took over as head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from Senator Charles Schumer of New York, saw only sunny skies as he looked ahead to the first Senate elections that will take place in the post-Schumer era.
One reason is that Republicans have to defend 19 seats, compared with just 17 for Democrats. On top of that, Republicans are retiring from seats in five states: Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Kansas and New Hampshire. As Mr. Menendez noted, that would be an advantage for Democrats in any year, since it’s much easier to win an open seat than unseat an incumbent, but it’s particularly significant this time around, in a political climate that, at least for the moment, seems to give big advantages to the Democrats.
“Four of those five states were carried by President Obama, and several by very significant margins,†he said.
The other reason Mr. Menendez expressed such optimism about Democratic prospects next year is the economy. First, he said, Republicans will continue to pay a price for the economic crisis, as Democrats argue that the economic policies of George W. Bush produced today’s job losses, mortgage foreclosures and the collapse of the banking system.
