You are wrong.
Here is what we need to do to achieve a filibuster proof conservative US Senate in 2008.
We have to do is to get rid of the following rinos, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Warner, Lamar Alexander, Libby Dole, Smith from Oregon, that bridge to nowhere Stevens guy, Chuck Hagel, and Sununu, Domenici and McConnell in the republican primaries, then we need to hold all 21 of our seats
Then we need to win 11 out of the 12 democrat 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) )
That makes 60 for us !
I wish I were. You, sir, are too optimistic to face reality. You picked only the Senate, fine with me.

Here is where you miss my point: Can we elect Conservative Republicans in Maine or Oregon? A blue dog Dem, maybe, but C. Repub, NO! Some other states are not bright red anymore and have a lot of Hispanics who are mad about the immigration issue, can you say New Mexico? J.D. Hayworth's loss, rings a bell???

Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island?????
Picking Conservative Republican "seats" in any of the above states? The only seats the voters in these states are willing to give Conservative Republicans are electric chairs! LOL
I haven't even brought up the other states which are purple at best. Iowa rings a bell?
I won't hide my head in the sand when faced with reality.
Nancee, you may be interested in the '08 strategy.
