Retaking the US Senate in 2008

All we have to do to retake the senate is to win 2 of these 12 seats.

Arkansas: Pryor (D) Delaware: Biden (D) Illinois: Durbin (D) Iowa: Harkin (D) Louisiana: Landrieu (D) Massachusetts: Kerry (D) Michigan: Levin (D) Montana: Baucus (D) New Jersey: Lautenberg (D) Rhode Island: Reed (D) South Dakota: Johnson (D) West Virginia: Rockefeller (D)

It looks like we could have a shot at Pryor, Harkin, Baucus, and Johnson.

AND THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HOLD ALL 21 OF OUR OWN SEATS THAT ARE UP.

Looking forward to seeing your initial take on 08.

NH is by no means Mass lite

Lived in NH fifty years and couldn't have said it better.
Good description.

[RobFromGa]

Thanks, it is clear that not everyone can get 100% of what they want.

[Salvation]

We need to keep positive and look to the future after we have learned the lessons from the past.

Blue State of Mind [Mark Steyn]

Greetings from the former Granite State, now trending alarmingly Granola State. Ramesh says he never heard anyone mention Jeb Bradley’s NH seat until today. Nor did I. We assumed Charlie Bass had some problems, in part because he dissed one of our local bigwigs, Ray Burton, who declined to lift a finger for him in the North Country. But the loss of Bradley’s seat suggests NH is moving firmly into the blue camp. The state Republican Party is out of gas ideologically and organizationally, and, looking at Senate elections down the road, it’s worth pondering whether Judd Gregg or John Sununu would prove any more difficult to knock off than Bass and Bradley.

In other words, like Kate below, I fear some features of an otherwise not terribly unusual sixth-year election may prove hard to reverse in ’08.Posted at 11:58 PM

If Bush had done that,he would have been ex President Bush today. The Rats and the MSM would have had a field day. Our plan calls for sadammn`s victims to pay for his crimes and America doesn`t work that way(see WW11)

[incredulous joe]

Thanks for the info. I remember reading about Jindal. I hope he decides to go for that Senate seat. We could use people like him in congress.

[zbigreddogz]

Not necessarily. The races we won in 2002 aren't going to flip. Saxby Chambliss, John Cornyn, John Sununu and Elizabeth Dole are totally safe. Wayne Allard (nomattter if he runs again or not) and Norm Coleman could have trouble, but I Coleman especially should be favored.

We can certainly knock off Tim Johnson if Rounds runs, and Mary Landreiu is ancient history if we get a good candidate and run an even halfway decent campaign.

America WILL work that way in due time. After the đemocrats shut down the Iraq campaign and dismantle Domestic Security, we will get hit again in much bigger doses than little ole 9-11. The Democrat president (and there will be a Democrat president after 08), after the third or fourth city gets hit will freak out and send ICBMs and cruise missiles all over the place. What could have been a neat little wasting of Teheran may well turn into a nuclear holocaust for Arabs and Pursians and Pakis.

How is Guiliani on Judges?

[bybybill]

Rudy, as a former prosecutor, hates Judges writing law he says,but, until they appoint a few, who knows.

[GOPsterinMA]

I don't really know. He couldn't be worse than Hillary though.
