Do we think the statements, "However, they were all in the South," and "in a case that reverberated into 2006," are at all politically neutral? Verdad 12:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

• My intention in saying "they were all in the South" was to point out that the open seats were generally in fairly red states that Republicans would be more likely to hold even without the advantages of incumbency (that is, not as likely to switch as Republican open seats in New England or Democratic open seats in the South or the prairies would be). I did think the New Hampshire comments were a bit of a stretch...you're welcome to make adjustments to either. Willhsmit 19:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

In the statement "Minnesota: Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-MN), in the middle of a tough fight against former St. Paul Mayor Norm Coleman, abruptly died in a plane crash " the word abruptly seems unnecessary. Either there is another concept which the word abruptly is pointing to, or the word abruptly is redundant (plane crashes by their nature happen without preparation or warning.)
