Does anyone know who will switch from the Democrats to the Republicans (House/Senate) and who has been approached?

What's the point in having them switch? We don't need them. Their voting behavior won't change-- they'll support the same legislation regardless. In both the Senate and House, we have enough votes to get much of what we want quite easily.

The issue at hand is that many older Democrats will retire in 2004 leaving vulnerable open seats because of disillusionment at their prospects to retake the House that year.

I am not sure which dems will switch, but I do know that I am sick and tired of hearing the same old adages of "Social Security, Prescription Drugs and the Environment". Oh yeah, I shouldn't forget about Education either! Does these people know any other topics other than these? They sound like an old broken record.

Oh just what we need, more moderate Farm Belt type Democrats to water down the Republican Caucus' ideological makeup.

Ralph Hall votes more conservative than most Republicans. I cannot understand how he justifies staying in that party. Come home, Ralph! We would love to have you.

Please see the strategy needed to defeat Landrieu and why her defeat is not just important but CRUCIAL to the conservative agenda:
