We should be able to pick up every one of those retiring seats.

And of the 20, 7 of these states went for Romney in 2012.

***AR - Pryor - elected 2008 ***

The voters gave Blanche Lincoln the heave-ho after she promised to vote against Obamacare, then voted for it.

Pryor is next!

I hope that WE provide a lot of money and volunteer time to their Conservative challengers.

Terri Lynn Land is the republican running to fill the Levin seat. She's our former Secretary of State and has been an establishment republican but seems to see the writing on the wall and has taken a lot of time to listen and learn from tea party minded conservatives. The party would prefer someone else so she's doing something right.

The democrat running for the seat id Detroit area congressman Gary Peters. He's trying to play middle of the road moderate in this Obamacare/shutdown fight so that's an indication of the trouble the democrats are in.

The first ad run against Peters is a take off on our Pure Michigan ads.

Pure Washington

And they’re all going to be on record as not voting to provide the same advantages under Obamacare to individual citizens as those given to Congress, the president, and big corporations.......

If the Republicans can get rid of Obamacare, I think they stand a good chance of getting most of these seats!

The democrat running for the Levin seat is trying to play moderate on this Obamacare/shutdown fight. That tells me that he knows he’s already facing a tough election.

Another factor will be Detroit. The state has effectively seized control of the election process in Detroit and other Detroit area cities.

Harkin is retiring? Amazing. He’s only 74. I thought these old Commies stayed on the Senate floor until they died.

My predictions for what it is worth...lol.

AK - Begich - elected 2008 (R if a good candidate)

AR - Pryor - elected 2008 (D)

CO - Udall - elected 2008 (D)

DE - Coons - elected 2010 (D)

HI - Schatz - appointed 2012 (D)

IA - Harkin - retiring (R)

IL - Durbin (D)

LA - Landrieu (R) - If we get a good candidate.

MA - Markey - elected 2013 (D)

MI - Levin - retiring (D)

MN - Franken - elected 2008 (D)

MT - Bauchus - retiring (R)

NC - Hagan - elected 2008 (R) If we get a good candidate

NH - Shaheen - elected 2008 (D)

NM - Udall - elected 2008 (D)

OR - Merkley - elected 2008 (D)

RI - Reed (D)

SD - Johnson - retiring (R) If we get a good candidate

VA - Warner - elected 2008 (D)...pity but they love him.

WV - Rockefeller - retiring (R)....our big chance.

We SHOULD be able to EASILY pick up 7 seats. However, we should have picked up seats in 2008 and 2012 and didn’t. Anyhow if things go our way we should have the Senate in 2014.

I’ll take picking up 7 seats! And on top of that replacing McConnell, Graham, Alexander with more solid conservatives and possibly Cornyn, we will have a far more conservative senate!!
