Newsweek and "Screw Them" Kos--Perfect Together

Newsweek asks Kos for his predictions on the 2006 political year:

The Rhode Island race. Lincoln Chafee is a moderate senator facing a right-wing Republican challenger—Stephen Laffey—in the primary. If Laffey wins it’s very hard to see him winning the general election.

In the Ohio Senate race either Democratic challenger Paul Hackett or Sherrod Brown are beating Republican incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine in the polls. Anytime an incumbent is behind in the polls it’s a bad sign because they have all the advantages of incumbency.

Missouri is the next big race. Democrat Claire McCaskill is up against Republican Sen. Jim Talent. Missouri is like Ohio in that the Republican governor is highly unpopular. McCaskill already has a network and name recognition after losing narrowly in a run for governor.

If I were any of the Democratic candidates just named by Kos, I would drop out of the race tomorrow because the dude is the kiss of death.

I'll never, ever pass up an opportunity to say that Kos is 0-16 with candidates he has supported.

Zero out of sixteen; he fits right in with the other geniuses at Newsweek. Maybe him, Evan Thomas and Jonathan Alter can go have lunch together and really change the way the minority party is headed. Or not.
