Put the RATS out of business. They enjoy doing it to everyone else.

“threatens”? that's a bit mild don't you think? Right now we have 7 seats in hand. With Obama’s continued slide we could end up taking 9 or 10 Senate seats.

Brown has received limited support from liberal groups. The League of Conservation Voters has spent $516,000 on television ads touting Brown’s vote to build the clean-energy industry in Ohio.

Only liberals could see that as a positive after the steady stream of horrible news about the failures of such crony-driven ventures.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Crossroads GPS and 60Plus Association have funded the bulk of a $5 million attack campaign against Brown, according to Brown’s campaign. Another Democratic source puts the cost of the campaign at $5.1 million.

How do they know how much the other side spends when they can't even keep track of their own campaign donations?

Obama and the battle for Wisconsin are sucking up all the political dollars out there for the commies.

yes and if Luger and Hatch go that will be even better it will take 2 hidden RAT votes out of the “liberal” column.

If the GOP gets more than 60 % of the white vote in the average Congressional Distrct according to CBS like they did in 2010, it could be more than that. Who do you think are the "7 seats in hand"?

The biggest threat to America is the Democratic majority.

I think they’ll lose in WI and Walker will be victorious, but even if Walker loses and the MSM touts it as a major loss, the reality is that Statist losses across the nation will be crippling to their movement.

The movement is like a hydra though, you must forever be on guard and hacking away.

McCaskill . . . recently aired a television ad criticizing groups “not from around here” for “spending millions to attack and attack.”

When she declines to vote on any legislation which affects people outside of Missouri, then I'll concede that she has a point.

Sounds good by Dick Morris, but that video was made in Feb.

Thanks Libloather.
Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the Senate Democrats' chief political strategist, sees the uneven spending war between Republican- and Democratic-allied outside groups as the biggest threat to Democrats' retaining control of the Senate... Brian Walsh, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Democratic leaders should focus on the economy instead of third-party groups. "The biggest threat to the Democratic majority is not outside spending, it's their failed economic record," he said.
Upchuck Schumer is also wrong because his party's leader is Obama, and Obama has had no trouble shaking down people for more money, but doesn't give a sh!+ about the reelection of *any* other Democrats (white ones anyway).

My unsolicited take on the 2012 Senate Races:

Likely to very likely GOP Pickups: Montana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota.

Possible GOP Pickups: Connecticut, New Mexico, Wisconsin. I’m least confident about Connecticut, but it’s a possibility, IMHO.

Longshot GOP Pickups: Hawaii. Lingle probably has the best chance to win this seat any Republican ever has had. She’s liberal on social issues, but ought to be far better than Akaka on other issues. I’ll take “half a loaf” in a deep Blue state like Hawaii.

Possible GOP losses: Massachusetts, though I think Brown will ultimately prevail. Maine. Indiana if Lugar is defeated in the primary. Mourdock is a real conservative and worth the gamble, but it’s also realistic to assume he’ll have a tougher road to the general than Lugar, who has clobbered every Democratic challenger easily over the years. Donnelly could win here, though it’s anything but a sure bet.
