What 7 seats do you think we will lose? I see us picking up a Senate Seat here. Other then that we will not lose or gain here. MN is at the balance point. Half secure Dem seats, half secure Repb seats. I do not see the Dems picking up anything anywhere. You actually have to run on an agenda. They have none. The leadership wants to run Republican Lite candidates, Dem base is mad because they feel the Dem leadership is "not taking on Bush enough". Basically the civil war in the Republican party is mirrored with the Civil war in the Dems party. I suspect any "Conventional wisdom" being made 14 months before the election is just so much hot air. Conisdering how much is likely to happen. I suspect we WILL have some immigration legislation between now and then. I suspect Gas Prices will have sunk back down to a faily stable $2.20 point. All this rollercoast ride in oil is bringin a lot of new production on line, that is going to help stabelize the market. I don't see the Dems making any effort to appeal to Red State Voters. So which 7 seats do you see us losing?

I am worried about Pennsylvania....Santorum's numbers are supposedly still lower than Casey's...

NOT that I believe polls...I don't, but Santorum is going to need (gulp) Specter's help, and I don't see Specter working THAT hard for him...which will be a shame, considering that Pat Toomey would have been much better than Specter as a Senator...but Santorum "played the game, by the old boy network rules"...and my get burned.
