To: Taking Congress back in 2008
Sheesh --- we could lose 5-8 Senate seats this year. NOT looking good.

I don't think we'll actually lose North Carolina, Texas or Mississippi, but the fact is, the polls just aren't looking good for us and all these seats should be safe.

We could lose 11 seats:

Alaska - Stevens will lose if renominated
Colorado - Allard open, Moonbat Udall leading
Maine - Collins has a first tier Dem opponent
Minnesota - Coleman not out of the woods
Mississippi - Subject of this thread
New Hampshire - Sununu still trailing Shaheen
New Mexico - Another Udall likely to win
North Carolina - Dole’s challenger uncomfortably nearly tied with her
Oregon - Smith is weak in a moonbat state
Texas - Cornyn underpolling
Virginia - Mark Warner may waltz to victory over what should be a strong Republican

Even 3 others could potentially be a problem. In Kansas, Roberts is underpolling and in KY, McConnell may get a decent private-sector challenger who has money to spend. Nebraska has an open race that the rodents are going to try to grab, and sometimes races there are unpredictable and Dems have a nasty habit of performing in open seats far disproportionate to their numbers in the state.

We have a shot at precisely “1” rodent incumbent, and that’s Louisiana, and Landrieu is now leading Kennedy.

The Senate alone may end up a f’ing fiasco, and that’s before we even get to the House where I found at least 3 dozen+ seats at minimum that we could lose.
