Soliciting Freeper comments.
There are likely some errors here, but I went over it and didn't see any more.
Love to hear what people think about these races...
Conrad(ND) is a dead man walking..
Great analysis! Outstanding!
Hopefully Dave Heineman runs against Nelson in Nebraska, Denny Rehberg will finally grow a pair and run against Tester, Cantor may be looking to run against Webb. Another real possibility is Paul Ryan looking at the Senate in 2012 as well.
Webb is more than “slightly” vulvernable. And he’s as “moderate” as a donkey’s cornhole.
It may be too soon but Allen West could run against Bill Nelson.
RINO Lugar needs to go
It requires two things to be made true.
1) GOP has to build it’s base
2) GOP has to do a BETTER JOB of finding, developing and educating solid fiscally conservative candidates.
Great list...thanks. Time to start thinking about taking the senate next time. btw..when is Graham up..4 more years? I was really hoping he’d be up next. I’d like to see a great candidate take him out in the primary.

I’ve been more wrong today than right but what does this mean?
Many comments.
George Allen is already seeking a rematch against Webb. Expecting to announce any day.
Any combination of Kohl, Feinstein, Bingaman, Lieberman, either Nelson may retire. It is very early.
Corker will be primaried from the right.
Many conservatives want Lugar to retire so that Mike Pence will run for that Senate seat. Pence is also contemplating run for Indiana Governor.
Hatch will be primaried if he doesn’t retire.
Hutchison has already announced her retirement. If she renegs, she will be primaried and lose.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin, the key is to find the rich businessman and lumber-jack kind of guy like Sen-elect Johnson
Carper may retire, but if he does Beau Biden will easily capture the seat. Rumors going around about Carper’s health.
I think Scott Brown may be in better shape than you think. He is genuinely liked. If Romney is the GOP nominee for president, who at this point is our strongest candidate to unite all factions of the GOP, obviously this would help Scott Brown’s chances for re-election.
If you didn’t catch it last night, Russ Feingold in his concession speech all but announced he was running in the Dem primaries for president in 2012.... Trying to preempt Howard Dean.
The potential inflation/collapse of the dollar Glenn is talking about and the potential fiscal calamity or collapse of NY or CA with the choices they made will further wake up or skew people towards fiscal sanity IMHO. Redisrtibutionist Democrats will not fair well. Given Obamacare will be starting to be felt as it starts to kick in those that voted for it still will face the wrath of the electorates. With so many GOP States now with SoS's being R's we may not see what went on in Nevada in terms of tryng to steal it.
This is all wind in our sails....
I’m going to work like hell to get a conservative to run against and beat Lugar.
In my daily email to Debbie Stabenow, telling her to repeal “healthcare reform”, I also mentioned that starting next week I will be working on the campaign of the republican opponent who will unseat her.
Don’t actually know who that will be yet, but I have heard several rumors, and I like what I hear.
I also don’t know yet when the campaign work will really start, but then neither does she.
Snowe may very well be removed in 2012 but with Maine going 100% Republican, Governor, Senate and House for the first time since 1962 we should be able to replace the witch without much of a problem.
Agreed. The Democrats are not going to much have luck picking up Red States unless they run Blue Dog candidates. And their base hates them.
We can run conservative candidates in Blue States to lose in nail biter elections. RINOs lose big.
It is my impression that Bingham in new Mexico is expected to retire.
Mark Belling was speculating that, based on Rusty's unusual "concession" speech if Kohl decides to retire we might get the chance to beat Feingold all over again in 2012, as he thinks Rusty might try for Kohl's seat as long as he wouldn't have to challenge Kohl in a primary.
Could another dream candidate emerge for us? Will lightning strike twice in the same spot? We can only hope!

Feinstein has already stated that she will run again. I only see her gone if God intervenes. She’s getting up there in years, so who knows?
