We can get rid of a number of these freshmen and replace the retiring democrats with conservative republicans!

[Servant of the Cross]

cue the music .....

[Beagle8U]

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

[Mr. K]

imagine if we make a sweep of it?

*sigh*

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!

The TEA Party in their states MUST work to get these libs OUT. I will gladly contribute!

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.......

[PATRIOT1876]

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

[nascarnation]

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

[napscoordinator]

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.

[SandRat]

Replace them all with Constitutional Conservatives.
