According to the chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, if Republicans lose only 8 Senate seats this November, that will be a great victory for the GOP:

In a further sign that Republican hopes are fading badly, the head of the Senate GOP’s campaign committee has set a new goal for the party this Fall: Not to lose too many Senate seats.

NRSC chair John Ensign has moved the goal posts, according to the Savannah Morning News, saying that the GOP will have succeeded if they don’t lose more than eight seats.

Ensign pointed out that if the Dems win nine seats they’ll get to the filibuster-proof magic number of 60 — at which point, Ensign warned, “they will be able to do pretty much whatever they want.”

So if the Dems can’t get to a 60-seat super-majority, the GOP will have won. Talk about lowering the bar.

Too bad Ensign didn’t also let us know how many seats Republicans must lose in order to totally cream the Democrats.
