In 2010, the GOP should take some seats...very rare for the party in power not to lose seats...Pres. Bush bucked this trend but few have. With any luck, we might be able to get a GOP Senator in Ohio even. If we don’t, we better sit down and take stock of our situation...the Dems got back in power by running DINO’s...tailoring the candidate for the state. We may have to do this...as Reagan noted better to have someone who votes with us 75% of the times then against us 100% of the time.
We wouldn’t be gaining a seat in Ohio in 2010, we’d only be HOLDING what we already have. We need to be targeting Democrat seats, but we have problems next year for the Senate, because there aren’t a lot of viable targets (and we’ve got retirees whose seats we have to defend). Even best case scenario, we couldn’t win back the Senate as we did in 1994. We’d probably have a better chance for the House, but even that is probably too formidable from a logistical standpoint.
