It is still too early to think about 2006. At a glance I don't see a lot of openings for us. We will probably be spending more time defending possible open Senate seats with the possible retirements of Bill Frist, Conrad Burns, and Trent Lott. Plus Jim Talent and Rick Santorum are somewhat vulnerable. The only 2 RAT Senators ripe for target practice are Bill Nelson and Mark Dayton. If Washington will re-elect a pro-terrorist lover like Patti Murray, then they will re-elect Maria Cantwell. Thus I don't see a lot of gain for 2006. Perhaps out best outcome would be to break even.

If Dino Rossi doesn't win the final count of absentee ballots, he is well positioned to take on Cant-Spell.

Osama Mama won becaues 1. She brought pork home to the land of Boeing 2. The Pubbies were stupid enough to nominate someone from Eastern Washington and 3. Nethercutt ran one of the worst campaigns I have ever seen.

I don't see Santorum having any problems. It may be a blue state, but it is a mild blue state and Santorum is in a leadership position.

Any prospective challengers will have a better shot at waiting another 4 years and taking a possible open seat
