ABC's George Stephanopoulos surveyed the 35 Senate races and focused on eleven states--all currently Republican--that he called competitive. He further divided those eleven into three categories: empty seats that are certain to change hands--Va, NM, Colo; defended seats that are "very, very close" contests--NC, NH, Minn, Ore, Aka; and a trio that should be safe for the Republican incumbent but are now in doubt--Ga, Ky, Miss. NBC's Lester Holt agreed that "Republicans are on defense in places they might never have imagined even a few months ago." North Carolina's incumbent Elizabeth Dole is one of those "struggling," as ABC's Jonathan Karl put it. ABC became the third network to profile her race against Democrat Kay Hagan. NBC's Andrea Mitchell filed last week. CBS anchor Katie Couric traveled to Charlotte to check the race out for herself two weeks ago.
