THANKS FOR THAT POLL! That is not so bad considering that it is where Johnson was in a worse position than Schafer is in now.

That race is winnable. What is going on in North Dakota and South Dakota is also happening in Minnesota. You have a group over 65 which was raised in the era of Roosevelt, Truman, and Humphrey. They voted heavily Democrat, but their children, and especially their grandchildren vote heavily Republican. Within 10 years, those four Senate seats should be ours!

Perhaps within two years, we shall have half our work completed.

That'd be great! I have noticed somewhat of a GOP drift over the years in that region. Minnesota has had its share of GOP senators recently (Grams, Boschwitz, Durenberger, now Coleman). Breaking through the Dems hold on North Dakota will be a biggie but I'm sure we can do it. We also need to get to work cracking the Dems hold on West Virgina and Louisiana.

One DEM race I forgot - Connecticut - Chris Dodd is favored to be re-elected, but if he retires to run for president, the seat will be up for grabs. State GOP Chair Chris DePino will likely face Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D) in that race; otherwise it is safe DEM.
