The 2010 Senate Races.

[TerrisFriend]

Wasn't Sarah Palin first brought to public notice and eventually John McCain's notice by people posting here on Free Republic and other blog sites? From what I have been looking at, we can make great gains in the 2010 Senate. Let's issue some calls-to-service to those who need to step up and beat these Liberals! As of now, here's the list of Democrat Senators who need to be sent home in defeat:...

[TerrisFriend]

Russ Feingold, Wisconsin; Patty Murray, Washington (very weak, a Conservative with a clear message could beat her); Pat Leahy, Vermont; Ron Wyden, Oregon; Byron Dorgan, North Dakota(getting old); Chuck Schumer, New York(Rudi could beat him); Harry Ried, Nevada(need a well known Conservative voice to move there if necessary!); Barbara Mikulski, Maryland (Michael Steele, this assignment is yours, should you choose to take it); Evan Bayh, Indiana; Obama's replacement, Illinois(we'll need to see what thug we need to go up against); Dan Inouye, Hawaii(he's really old, any young Conservative's willing to run in Hawaii?) Ken Salazar, Colorado(John Elway would pound this guy; Barbara Boxer, California (Michael Reagan, your Dad needs you!); and Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas(Mike Huckabee, here's where you can promote your Flat Tax ideas and win!)

Now, here are some names, other than the ones above, who could step up and make a difference if they would run. I've thought of David Limbaugh (who could easily establish residence in Illinois and be close to his home town), Laura Ingraham, and Rick Santorum (who really needs to get back in there, somewhere)! Add to this list and lets get some really great people to step up and seek office. We can make a difference in 2010!

Friends....it’s time to leave. I mean the country. Talking aboout strides in 2010 and all that...it ain’t happening. Don’t stay too long like people did in Hitler’s Germany hoping for folks to come to reason. The proactive ones here should explore New Zealand or Australia and get the hell out.

[allmost]

Links accompanying each one individually might be more appropriate. Lots of vanities lately. Lots of steam to blow off of course. Just a thought that I think might make this more constructive...

New Zealand is a Peoples' Republic.A beautiful one,yes...but one that hates this country just as much as any Middle Eastern hellhole of 9th Century knuckledraggers.

[Harry Wurzbach]

Santorum needs to kill off Specter. Even at the risk of having that seat turn blue. About the only thing Specter is good for is control of the Chamber.

Steele needs to go for it. He needs something more than Lt. Gov of Maryland on his resume.

Yeah, Huckabee running for Senate makes a lot of sense.

And, lastly, Harold f-ing Reid. The GOP needs to recruit a great candidate and take a big shot at running that douche out. Hell, the Dems almost got McConnell...in Kentucky.

[yldstrk]

Australia it is.

[TwS88]

“Friends....it’s time to leave. I mean the country.”

what kind of talk is that?? I rather die fighting for freedom in this nation then just leave.

Sadly, you might just be right. Many of our forebears left their homelands for this land for its political and economic freedom. We may end up having to do the same.

[chimera]

I'm beginning to think along those lines. Maybe someplace outback in Oz might be the place to be. I have avoided thinking seriously about it because I have a handicapped child who is still in a quasi-school program (work transition) and that has been keeping me here. But I am haunted by the thought that in 1930s Germany there were probably families in similar situations, clinging to hope, trying to provide for children and elderly relatives. All that got them was that they ended up in the gas chambers together.

[yldstrk]

I have children

[Beeman]

I agree. Furthermore, I have family who live in New Zealand. I hope you can get a job paying more than 50 cents an hour. Australia is beatiful, but it is more liberal than here.

[freespirited]

Chris Matthews will supposedly be running for the PA Senate seat on the RAT side.

[deport]

Now, here are some names, other than the ones above, who could step up and make a difference if they would run.

You maybe able to include the rent a candidate Alan Keyes in your list for one of the senate campaigns.......

“The proactive ones here should explore New Zealand or Australia and get the hell out.”

Yeah,that’s good...
Go to a country that hates guns more than Sarah Brady of N0bama.
No thanks.I’m staying & fighting,dammit!

[Harry Wurzbach]

Chris Matthews will supposedly be running for the PA Senate seat on the RAT side.

Surprise, surprise. He's been running already on MSDNC.

[Glenn]

Rick Santorum (who really needs to get back in there, somewhere)

I don't want him as my senator again. Governor might be the right place for him.

[ZULU]

Australia is a socialist, anti-gun nation with serious Islamic problems. Indonesia is just off the coast.

2010 Senate Race Prospects (Recruit Early, Recruit Smart - With Names)!
Vanity | TitansAFC

It looks as if the count will be 56-44 Democrats in the U.S. Senate in January, with Smith losing in OR and Lieberman now having to caucus with the GOP. Here is the pathway to chipping away at the seven seat we need to retake the Senate in 2010.

We need to recruit these names, recruit early, and recruit HARD:

1.) Colorado (Ken Salazar - D): Republican Former Governor Bill Owens, who didn’t run in 2008 for the Senate, may run this time around, as might retired football quarterback, Republican John Elway, who hinted at a future run for office despite choosing not to run in 2008. The moment he wins the GOP nod, you can already start calling him “Senator Elway.”

2.) California (Barbara Boxer - D): Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger should seek the seat, as he would be ineligible to run again in the Gubernatorial race due to term limits. He is the only hope of beating Boxer, and very well might.

3.) Arkansas (Blanche Lincoln - D): Former Governor Mike Huckabee, who was a 2008 presidential candidate, should be recruited very, very hard, since he remains a relatively well-liked figure.

4.) Illinois (Obama’s old seat - TBD - D): The only man in Illinois who could win this seat has to talk his wife into letting him. Illinois demi-god Mike Ditka, a hardcore, Conservative Republican, would win this seat. We just have to convince Mike and Mrs. Ditka to run.

5.) Indiana (Evan Bayh - D): If Bayh retires, Mike Pence could win this seat. If Bayh does not retire, he is unbeatable in Indiana.

6.) Hawaii (Daniel Inouye - D): May retire - will win re-election if he does not. In the event of a retirement, the GOP should push monstrously hard for popular Governor Linda Lingle to run for Senate.

7.) Nevada (Harry Reid - D): The Senate Majority Leader will seek a fifth term. In 2004, he was reelected with 61% of the vote. That year, Republicans did not put up a formidable challenger. Potential Republican candidates include former Governor Kenny Guinn, Representative Dean Heller, former Representative Jon Porter or 2004 candidate Richard Ziser. Guinn might be the strongest challenger to Reid but will be 74 in 2010, three years Reid’s senior. Porter had been viewed as the most likely to run as he had been interested since 2004 and been planning a run, but following his defeat for re-election to his House seat in 2008, he may no longer run.

8.) North Dakota (Byron Dorgan - D): Three term Senator Byron Dorgan may retire. He will be 68 years old in 2010. Dorgan, who represents the conservative state of North Dakota, may be vulnerable if he runs for reelection. Potential Republican candidates are Governor John Hoeven, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, and his brother, State Senate Majority Leader Bob Stenehjem. All have very high approval ratings, including Dorgan. John Hoeven would win easily, and should be pushed HARD to run.

My feelings entirely.

There is no place to go except maybe some South American country still locked in the 19th Century.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Are you going to leave America?
Or keep posting defeatest crap on Free Republic the next four years?

I think all Freepers deserve an answer to that.

Don’t come back when we have tossed these lib jokers out of office.

The political pendulum will swing back to the right again.
AMERICAN history has proven this again and again.
We knew this year was going to be tough because historically that is how the cookie crumbles.
