Some see the glass as half empty, others as half full. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) sees it as overflowing.
Briefing reporters yesterday on Democrats' prospects in the midterm elections, Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, had trouble thinking of a single race Republicans will win.
How about Nevada, where Democrat Jack Carter trails Sen. John Ensign (R) by 21 points?
"Jack Carter has done a very good job. . . . Nevada is moving up on our radar screen . . . We are getting more and more enthusiastic about Nevada."
And Arizona, where a poll found Sen. Jon Kyl (R) 18 points ahead of Democrat Jim Pederson?
"We're feeling better and better. . . . Our candidate Jim Pederson is running a great race. . . . The public seems to like what he says."
Or Virginia, where no conventional poll has found Democrat James Webb leading Sen. George Allen (R)?
"We think we have a good chance of winning in Virginia. . . . We regard it as a very, very good chance of a Democratic pickup."

Webb ahead of Allen 48 to 47%:
