It would work.These guys get very unbalanced when someone hits them back.

And MOST people could give a rats ass, about who gets put on the bench. In this day and age, you are lucky if you can get them to vote. And in 2000, where the dems got every hand possible, living or dead, on the lever, it still wasn't enough. Not in Arkansas, tennesee, South Dakota,Missouri.... all states where senate contests are close.

It would also have the secondary effect of turning out the base in Droves.

The only possible casualty would be the NJ race.

i agree. but as xshub said, lee atwater was the repository of all of the 'seeds' in the Repub party... and short of bringing him back from the dead, i don't know where we get someone with cajones.
