So do I Soul Seeker, so do I. Do you know when are they running for re-election?
The Republican seat in Nebraska is safe if we defeat Hagel in the primaries and have a new real Republican, I am not worried a Democrat will win it.
If Chafee is gone in Rhode Island by defeating him in the primaries, his seat is gone to the Democrats, make no doubt about it. Do you know what is Chafee vote in the Senate, is it 60% GOP/Bush 40% against GOP/Bush? If this is the case it will be still better than a Democrat Senator from Rhode Island with 99% against GOP/Bush.
I believe both are up in '06.
Someone mentioned recuiting Tom Osbourne to run against Hagle. I think Nebraskans should seriously pursue that option immediately.
Chafee is probably going to lose. Libs want a Democrat. Republicans despise him. No loss if we pick up seats elsewhere. IMO, it's time to cut him loose. I'd rather spend the money electing someone that will support US, than attempting to save his skin in an uncertain race.
