Sadly enough, Teddy K is not going anywhere. Mitt Romney was the GOP's best shot against him back in '94 and Kennedy won that race going away.
I'd keep a close eye on Ben Nelson in Nebraska. I would not be at all surprised to see him switch parties considering that Governor Johanns is warming to the idea of a Senate run. If Johanns decides to run, that will be the big race to watch. Since Nelson usually votes with the GOP anyway, he may crossover rather than risk losing his seat to the popular Republican governor.
She'll be 73 then. If she runs, she'll win easiliy. Boxer was the weak candidate. Rice would have a better shot as a woman and a 'moderate' on abortion-rights. Sadly, the fools would selected McClintock in the primary and he'd lose in a landslide on par with this year's Obama vs. Keyes. A CONSERVATIVE cannot win statewide at this time. Bank on it.
We need a fiscal conservative who is more libertarian on social issues. And, if at all possible, it should *not* be a rich white guy (take note, Issa!).
In Maryland (90% Dem)the best idea might be for Pubbies to change parties & nominate a conservative Dem against Sarbanes. Even with several good solid Pubbie counties we just can't pry Mikulski & Sarbanes out of office. We have tried.
Thay are belong to uss'ns
This should be job # 1 for all of us.
Bump off any 5 of these 7 Democrat senate seats
in 2006 and you have the magic 60 seat advantage.
