Only then will we REALLY control the Senate!
Will Romney take on Kennedy in Mass? Probably the only guy in that State that has a chance of knocking old "hic Hic" off.
Dayton is one of the Dayton-Hudson owners of Target, who just banned the Salvation Army from their stores. There's got to be a way to hang that around his neck. That & closing his DC office for fear of terrorism. No other Senator did.
Well, we need to hold all of our own seats as well...
So let's quit seeing people take shots at Santorum. He's been a great Senator despite being in a blue state...
I think Robert Byrd will stay in the Senate until he dies. His entire identity is wrapped up in being a Senator.
I have read that John Corzine of NJ is not having a fun time as Senator in a minority party. He wants the Governorship instead.
It used to be wrapped in white bed sheets and matching hood.
You'll like my tagline, then...
I'm just wondering - what can those of us in states having no senate elections in 2006 (eg Colorado) do to help the rest of you out?
They sell out with Specter on judicial nominees and the GOP won't maintain a majority in the Senate.
Assuming of course that RINOS like Chaffee, Specter and Snowe won't spoil the party.
You didn't mention Collins. Is she any different than Snowe in her voting record?
Actually, I have a question for all the posters. I have thought avbout this for awhile. I want to get involved with the local RNC here in NYC (yeah crazy, liberal, NYC). Anyone who has been active in their local Republican party let me know if it's worth my while. The local clubs really don't do much except at election time....would like to see if there is something I can get myself involved in as a volunteer year round. Appreciate any answers I get.
Byrd is only wrapped up in the senate when not wrapped up in his white sheets.....
Romney won't run for it. If Kennedy dies, his nephew Joe will get the "Kennedy" Senate seat. He almost ran a few years ago for governor but opted out.
Later his younger brother who had sex with the teenage babysitter died and Joe lost his lust for political office. He'll likely run again after Teddy dies. He'll likely win also. It is just that way around here.
The Kennedy's have a scam going where they supposedly give heating oil to poor people, but it is actually a big money making corporation with a small portion involved in low priced energy. The local media never ever calls the Kennedy's on anything unless compelled to do so by the national press.
We could have 99 Republican Senators and the one lone democrap would still be bossing Republicans around. Wev'e had the leadership for 2 years. We have yet to bitchslap the Democraps down!
Being from WV, I'm pretty sure Byrd said in 2000 that that would be his last run, but then again, he could change his mind.
No way. Feinstein is respected in California (in a way that Boxer isn't, for instance). She's easily able to survive a credible challenge. Telling Californians to vote her out because she's obstructing Bush will only make her more popular.
With the exception of a party-switcher, I doubt we'll see more than one or two of these being defeated. Republicans might build a slightly larger lead in the Senate, but the chances of reaching 60 Super majority of Republicans is slim. But, then, we all know that such a number really isn't required ... all we have to do is change the rules on what it takes to bring about cloture. How about ... oh, I don't know ... 55%?
