And we will not be able to do it with a weak (ie, liberal) candidate on top of the ticket.
We can’t do it with a weak candidate of any ideology. We need someone who will energize the base, and also draw in the less politically motivated voters. I’m hoping that Thompson gets in and catches fire. The others do not excite me in any way. I feel that we likely lose with either Rudy, Romney, McCain or Hunter.
What we cannot have is a non-fighter at the top of the ticket. Whoever is there must, like RUDY HAS BEEN DOING, continually attack Dems and not Bush and not other Republicans. If the fire is aimed at the Dems, it will set ablaze the grassroots and many of these seats are capable of being taken. If the top of the ticket is lackluster, regardless of his "issues," it's over.
Jim Webb`s impeachment will go a long way toward taking back the senate.
