With less than four weeks to go until the midterm elections, Republicans and
Democrats are shifting focus to a battle for the Senate, as two months of
bad news has forced national G.O.P. strategists into an increasingly
defensive stance. The Mark Foley scandal alone has tossed anywhere from two
to six formerly safe Republican House seats into play and increased the
likelihood of a Democratic takeover. That has allowed the Democrats to
target Senate races with new funds, and forced Republicans to concentrate on
defending their 10-seat majority there. "The Senate's a top priority, and
you'll see a tremendous amount of resources garnered to protect the majority
there," says one G.O.P. strategist familiar with the party's planning. Says
a Democratic strategist, "More attention than ever is being directed to the
Senate races."
