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.

Er, then what is the point ? Economics ain't worth a pound of crap if it isn't grounded in morality. That's why most of us are Republicans.

Those morality issues won Senate seats in Georgia, Missouri and Minnesota in 2002.
