I’d still likely endorse Conger here. Wehby would probably be another Susan Collins. The money issue is a biggie here, too, as I wrote at the start of the thread.
This is where we get it wrong.
The idea is not to pick up 100 Senate seats, all filled with conservatives. Nor is it to get 60 conservative
Republicans. That would be great, but it’s not happening.
All that’s necessary, is to get a majority of 60+ seats, so 35+ conservatives from red states, and 25+ whatever we can get from where ever we can get it.
I’ll take a Susan Collins from Maine, or a Mike Castle from Delaware (ooops, never mind).
What totally screws us up are the guys like Graham, McCain, and both guys from Mississippi - Wicker and Cochran. And others.
Look at Heritage’s rankings and check the liberal Senators from RED states:

These are the guys we need to go after.
Perfectly Acceptable: Kirk at 44% from Illinois - I’ll take what I can get from Illinois.
Totally dreadful: Alexander 48% from Tennessee - I expect much better from Tennessee!!!
