**How great would it be to see Watts and Herman Cain in Georgia both win Senate seats!!**

They also talked about two Republican black candidates who could win in the House. I wasn't familiar with either name.

One is the guy running for the Winston Salem seat that Burr is vacating, who per FR press, seems to by dynamite. I don't know who the other black House candidate would be with a good shot.

Vernon Robinson in North Carolina, Dylan Glenn in Georgia. Both are running in very Republican districts although may have primary opponents.

Although I did enjoy the show immensely, I felt they should have mentioned that Minnesota has trended Republican since going for Gore in 2000. Republican Governor now (Pawlenty) and Senator (Coleman).

They talked about whether Dems. had any possibilities in the South and someone mentioned that if Clark got the nomination he could win Arkansas, but that was it.

Someone needed to make the point that if Dean was the Presidential nominee there would be fallout for Senate candidates. Carson cannot win OK if Dean is the nominee. Someone mentioned McCurdy on this thread. I knew McCurdy was sunk when he wore a red ribbon during the 1992 DNC convention. OK voters aren't all that enthralled with politicians sporting red ribbons as if they are at the Academy Awards. Also, Inhofe had a great commercial lampooning the crime bill, particularly "dance classes" for prisoners, having some Biker type in a tutu dancing in a prison.

The point was that even a likeable, moderate nominee can be devastated when the Party presidential nominee (or, for that matter, President) is someone who is ultra liberal on social issues, such as Clinton's desire for "gays in the military" or Dean's being the first governor to legalize gay unions.
