GOP loses 4 key Senate races, wins Tenn.

By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer 8 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Republicans struggled Wednesday to prevent a Democratic takeover of the Senate after losing GOP-held seats in Missouri, Ohio, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

Seizing on voter discontent with
President Bush and the war in
Iraq, Democrats mounted challenges for Republican-held seats in two other states — Virginia and Montana — and were ahead in all three.

"I think we will hold control of the Senate," Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman said on CNN.

In Missouri, Republican Sen. Jim Talent (news, bio, voting record) lost to Democrat Claire McCaskill, the state auditor.

In Pennsylvania, Democrat Bob Casey, son of a popular former governor, soundly defeated incumbent Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record), a conservative and third-ranking member of the Senate GOP leadership. Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown (news, bio, voting record) easily beat GOP incumbent Mike DeWine in Ohio, a state where Republican scandals were devastating for the party.
