Whew, don't know about the "easily pick up" part -- we need good candidates!! I would add Nevada to that list of pickup opportunities.

Indiana's (Rat) Lt. Gov. has decided NOT to run for governor in 2004, which leaves a wide-open field -- there has been some speculation that Sen. Bayh might go back to governoring Indiana, in part because of the Senator's Curse (running for prez), but it's all very speculative. Otherwise Bayh will be running for senate again.

Speaking of retirement, can we retire Kay Bailey Hutchinson in 2006? I can think of a few guys named Bonilla and Paige who'd be great in that seat.

Damn! I forgot about Nevada. That is another near-certain pick-up.

YEAH! There will be a lot of former Demcratic Senators in 2005.

Reid, Conrad, Daschle, Edwards, Hollings, etc.

HEY! We forgot Arkansas too! Huckabee will send Lincoln packing.

Okay. Let's take bets. How many Senate seats do we pick up?

Kay in '06? If Rick Perry want's to switch with her. Kay wants to come back and be guv. Big Q is does Rick want a second term as guv?
