Will 2008 Finally Be The Year For A Senator?

In this article Martin Frost takes up an issue I've always found interesting, the difficulty that sitting senators have had getting elected president since 1960. While it's a decent sketch of the topic Frost offers little more than the usual explanations as to why this has been the case; i.e. the troubles of juggling both a senate schedule and a presidential campaign combined with the many controversial votes that senators have to cast that come back to haunt them.

This trend could come to an end though, as the 2008 has more legitimately viable senators running for the presidency than any other race in recent memory.
