He'll have to run again because the state will need someone to save us from those evil Republicans.

[Free Vulcan]

He is not. He is up in 2008.

Someone's got to figure out how those Southern states with some pretty sizable large cities are still being won by conservatives. What are they doing differently in their cities? I don't understand this. Aren't there large cities in GA and TN etc. that dwarf the rural populations as well?

[Iowegian]

He'll be running for president in 4 years. Hopefully he will do as well as Harkin did when he tried it.

[goldstategop]

We lost Minnesota and Wisconsin by 1%. They'll go red in 2008.

[11th_VA]

Yeah, what's up with Rhode Island - I don't get it either ...

[Theodore R.]

Harkin is safe until 2008, when he will win again on Hillary's skirts. After all, he was one of "Bill" Clinton's biggest defenders.

...followed by Mark Dayton...

Wonder if hildebeast will move back to Arkansas and get elected Senator from there, then run for Pres (silly idea, perhaps, but there's no telling what those people will do).

Or, she can stay in NY and get someone like Harold Ford from Tennessee as a VP candidate.

Apparently most of the social conservatives down south follow their conscience and vote Republican. Up here in Wisconsin I know many social conservatives who cannot break the Democratic stronghold over their voting habits. They think Jack Kennedy or even FDR is still running things. They have no idea how leftist the Donkey party has become. They obey their union masters and vote how they're told.

I'm a union member who would like laws passed to stop unions from endorsing candidates. And I know a number of members and even officers in my union who voted for Bush...as do forty percent or more of all union members. It's not all lockstep. I have three non-union sisters who are dedicated Republican-hating Democrats.

Maybe you are on to something. Maybe it's a union thing and unions are present with big cities but they are more prevalent in the northern big cities than the southern big cities. If that's the case we should all be very aware of union organizing activity in the South and perhaps some Southern states should be passing laws to deter unions placing undue pressures on their members regarding politics.

[Kuksool]

We really need to pass a national right to work law. President Bush would have easily won PA, WI, MI, and MN if labor unions didn't have such a strong presence there.
