First of all, we need 60 votes to stop a filibuster, not 61.

Senate seats we should go after are Hillary's in NY (RUDY!), Bill Nelson's in FL (JEB!), Debbie Stabenow's in MI (Congressman Rogers, Congresswoman Miller or ex-Governor Engler should do the trick), Mark Dayton's in MN (Congressman Mark Kennedy), Ben Nelson's in NE (Governor Johanns) (although I think Ben Nelson will switch to the GOP next year), Maria Cantwell's in WA (Dino Rossi if he ends up falling short in the still-being-counted gubernatorial election; otherwise I don't know who), Mark Conrad's in ND (Governor Hoeven), Robert Byrd's (if he retires) in WV (maybe Congresswoman Capito or state Senator Jay Wolfe), Dianne Feinstein's in CA (Condi Rice?), Thomas Carper's in DE (Congressman Castle), Paul Sarbanes's (if he retires) in MD (Lt. Gov. Steele), Jon Corzine's in NJ (Steve Forbes or Congressman LoBiondo), Jeff Bingaman's in NM (Congresswoman Wilson?), Herbert Kohl's in WI (ex-Governor Thompson?), and Jim Jeffords's in VT (Governor Douglas).

In 2010, Barack Obama, especially since the liberal (R)'s let him get in so easily. Of course by then he may be more interested in running for President

Which Dem Senators should we target for defeat in 2006? (Vanity)

1) Mary landreu of Louisiana. She said she would support the president's judicial nominees but that was a lie. I think that there is a good chance that we can Dashcle her.

2) Target the remaining Dems in the South.

Focusing on our threatened candidates, like Santorum, is the place to start. Then look at the weak dems or dems in red states.

One thing we can do now is start lining up new mid-term voters. The election is still fresh in everybody's mind. If you run across someone who voted for the first time or only votes in Presidential elections, work on getting them to see the importance of giving President Bush a Senate that will work with him.

Set a goal for yourself of 10, 15, 25 or 50 new midterm voters. Don't badger them, but every couple of months let them know how important it is to vote every election. When even a small election is coming up, remind them of the issues and to vote. Soon they will become faithful and involved voters.

Just a little anecdote. My husband works with a 25 year old and they drive to jobs with each other often. My husband would put on Laura Ingraham's radio show. The kid was soaking it all in, but wanted to hear the other side. So they switched over to Air America. Even a mostly uninformed non voting kid knew it was crap. He voted his first time for BUSH.

Rudy against Hillaruh in 2006. The Dems will lose alot of support in NYC and the surrounding counties, spelling a sure win for Rudy in NY. When is bloombergs re-election? Thats sure to be a big fight.

In 2008, it looks like Rudy may run, if he doesnt, he's likely to be tapped for VP, the name "Rudy Giuliani" Will also influence the Youth vote who saw giuliani rise up in the biggest event of their lives. I think McCain had a chance, until he came out against Bush...again

Another possible VP is Condi Rice. Rudy\Rice...That could spell trouble for Dems, and force major competiion for Democratic Bases. (Blacks, Women, New York and California.)

If Hillaruh is ousted from her throne in 2006, The likely candidate will be pretty boy Edwards. If he cant beat a War-time, modiocre economy president, what thinks he can beat "America's Mayor"
