Honestly, I’m a bit more positive about this. I think we have legitimate shots at several of the democrat-held seats. But a lot of them depend on one or two particular candidates running.
I think Lincoln, Dorgan, Reid, Kennedy?, Burris, Bennet, Inyoue, Dodd, and even Boxer and Feingold can be beaten with the proper fundraising/ campaign messages.
Thanks. That gives a little more cause for optimism. I’m betting Grassley is the next R to announce his retirement. Other than IL/AR, most of the D’s look pretty secure at this moment ... the coming 2 years should be intersting.
