Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) "is taking action to make it hard for conservatives to write him off in the 2008 presidential race," Washington Whispers reports. "His office confirms that the maverick moderate recently met with the Rev. Jerry Falwell, a conservative icon who is influential with voters on the right."…Recently defeated candidate for NJ governor Doug Forrester blamed president Bush for his defeat in news articles published five days after the November elections….Even the right wing slanted Fox News has Bush at Nixon-like numbers of 35% approval ratings and 58% disapproval of his job performance…US Senator Ben Nelson (D) is in good shape for re-election next year against two of his leading GOP opponents, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll. Nelson led wealthy former Ameritrade COO Pete Ricketts by a vote of 52% to 29%. Nelson also led former State GOP Chair David Kramer by a 57% to 25% vote. Rasmussen did not poll Nelson against former Attorney General Don Stenberg (R)….Eleven-term Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) -- a GOP centrist and a leader on free trade issues -- announced his retirement...According to a new Deseret Morning News/KSL-TV poll, US Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) could potentially have more problems next year than he anticipated. The poll showed 45% of voters said Hatch "should be re-elected" next year to a sixth term, versus 48% who said they wanted to "give someone new a chance to serve."…. A quick update on the still unresolved race for VA Attorney General. With nearly everything counted, Bob McDonnell (R) leads Creigh Deeds (D) by just 341 votes out of over 1.9 million cast… A new Zogby Poll in Ohio shows term limited and scandal plagued Gov. Robert Taft (R-OH) with an incredibly low 6.5 percent approval rating…... Republican odds of defeating US Senator Dianne Feinstein (D) next year dropped from slim to none

this week when they lost the only potential challenger who had the ability to run a viable campaign…..A top state Republican called on Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro (R) to quit the race against US Senator Hillary Clinton (D). State Senator Majority Leader Joe Bruno praised Pirro's qualifications but urged her to abandon the race against Clinton and instead switch to a different statewide race that a GOP candidate may have a better shot of winning…."Charging that the Vermont Democratic Party plans to abandon its centrist members by supporting independent Rep. Bernie Sanders for the open U.S. Senate seat," Larry Drown, a 61-year-old plumber, declared himself a candidate for Senate, reports the Burlington Free Press. Drown has run for statewide office twice before, both times as a Republican…Seeking to solidify his lead in the GOP gubernatorial primary, Congressman Tom Osborne spent 60 minutes on statewide KFAB radio Dec. 1 answering questions. He's been criticized for dull campaigning..
