I watched the first part of the show but left before Barrone was on. That's interesting news. I still believe that a lot will be based on Conservative disenchantment with Congress in 2006. Too much spending, too little attention to the border issue (by the Senate), this over-the-top reaction to the ports issue, and other issues make them vulnerable. They simply haven't been listening to their base; or they're too RINO.
If conservatives stay home, it could be an unfavorable year at best. There's a lot riding on 2006. It's going to be interesting.
As soon as gore starts his campaign... bottom line... Conservatives will find their reasons to engage. Mid-terms will not yield any power flip. ALL of this is only my educated opinion.

If the conservatives stay home it will be a vote of support for Feingold and Conyers.
