Washington State: GOP Concedes Another Senate Race

"Even though Mike McGavick was their handpicked Senate candidate in Washington state, neither the Republican National Committee nor the GOP senatorial campaign committee have plans to air television ads supporting him in the final 17 days of the race."

Long considered a possible Republican takeover, the Washington Senate seat held by Maria Cantwell has now been removed from the playing field. Bob Menendez's NJ seat remains the GOP's only potential takeover target, and he seems to be widening his lead.
