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.

The party is just plain out of touch. in the last election they should of figured out that they had there backs to the wall. But, of course they didn't. Wee need to change. we need to find a message that is right for the time.One that unites the conservative base with moderate independents. One that we can believe in and commit to enacting.

We’re not going to keep Maine and Oregon, with the Godawful RINOs we’re running there.

With supposedly safe Senate seats becoming competitive, I nominate Mark Sanford to be Veep. Sanford could inspire Southern whites to come out for Republicans.

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

That’s not entirely true. We have an outside shot in New Jersey, whre Frank Lautenburg is polling low approval ratings.

It’s not a question of how many Senate seats the Republicans will lose but how many. Thanks for that little summary of the contested races. I don’t much care for the likes of Collins or Dole, but it would hurt to lose people like Cornyn, Roberts, McConnell, and my own Senator Sununu.
