This article is obviously very old, and it's analisys is...highly questionable in several areas.
That said, we may gain a seat or two if all goes right in '06, but pesimistically, I'm just hoping we break even.
yep, sort of : February 21, 2005
when the subject is about 2006, what difference does it make that this was written two months ago ? big deal
YEah, about halfway through that little bell went off that says "I've read this before"
These buzzards are not making it very easy to support them. I will, but I am not feeling optimistic about '06 mostly because the base is extremely turned off right now.
Yes, the author of this article, besides spelling some Senators name's wrong, is simply whistling past the grave yard. We would be good to hold our own this next Senate election.
I haven't seen a good reason for any of the Republicans to keep their seats yet. None for the rats, either, but in the end, the media is on the rats side. They could run someone who drowned a girl and then fled the scene, or someone who committed treason during wartime or even a known Socialist who attempted to destroy healthcare as we know it and still win with media support.
If things are going the way they are now in 2006, we could be in serious trouble. Heck, the Dems could regain the Senate then.
But, there is a lot of time left.
The GOP is playing 'safe'...what is the point of electing the GOP if they act like Democrats? If the GOP doesn't get it's act together, they will lose seats in the house and in the Senate because they ticked off the base enough that the base didn't come out and vote. Historically, the presidential party loses seats during a mid-term election. It is so sad that Republicans think they must cater to Democrats in order to remain in power because it is not true. Democrats will never vote for a Republican-not even McCain.
