There isn't one GOP seat that's really at risk...
Oh, I know, but they’ll still have access to $$ simply because they’re in the majority. As for Rockefeller, he can still buy his elections. I don’t know which person we’re going to run against him at present. The problem with Rep. Shelley Moore Capito is that she’s pro-abort, and that’s not going to play well. We can’t run Raese again, that would be stupid. Perhaps Maloney, the guy who narrowly lost for Governor.
As for SD, I do believe Mike Rounds will run, but he really should’ve in 2008.
If Susan Collins retires then Maine will be a problem. But otherwise all the other GOP senators are in deep red states, more so than in this year of disappointments. I think SD and AK ought to be major targets. Landrieu didn’t win by that big of a margin in ‘08 so I think she could be vulnerable. Isn’t Rockefeller in his mid 70s by now? He really should call it quits and if he does they should be able to win that. Baucus also has been around forever so I hope there is a strong candidate they might run up in MT but they seem to prefer Democrat senators for whatever reason. In any case we have to hope for a tsunami greater than 2010 to gain the 6 they’ll need to get Soiled Harry out as majority leader. Going to be very tough.
