I am happy to see the Republican Party moving to take over more areas of the map. I would like to see them nominate some people that can win some races in the Pacific North West. Besides Alaska, we only have one Republican Senator on the entire West Coast (Gordon Smith of Oregon). Once we have captured the South...please head west and get rid of Feinstein, Boxer, Wyden, Murray (Patticake), and Cantwell(can't vote well).
Republicans are winning Senate races in the South because the national Democrat Party has turned their back to their issues. The issues of the poor, urban areas may win the D party votes in the urban centers, but it does not address the real issues at the regions. The Republican Party has done a better job of marketing themselves as a national party that is really interested in the middle and the emerging middle classes. I hope that they continue this marketing campaign and not get tied up in socially conservative, but emotionally charged issues of morality, etc.

I find it funny they can't find a decent candidate in Georgia. Like here in Illinois we will probably lose the senate seat but at least we've got a guy who can win.

GOP Solid South Bump

"and John Breaux (La.)."

Hmmm... More speculation that Breaux will retire.

Let's also hope evan Bayh retires because it Indiana would be a very easy pick-up!

Well, here's a glimmer of hope for the "return to states rights by a new judicial default, despite it's being unsupported by the populace" scenario. Keep in mind that 60 Senator bump in the road.

The South looks promising for Republicans, but it can't be taken for granted. It's going to take hard work and shoe-leather, as well as slick TV ads, to assure victory in those key Senate races. Furthermore, there is one way that Democrats could regain ground in the South: Nominate Wesley Clark for President and Bob Graham as his running mate.
