THe Senate doesn’t look too good. The Governorships and US House look more promising

It always takes longer to recover the Senate. But if the Republicans can take back the House, that will put a roadblock in Obama’s path. Then he’ll have to worry both about Republican opposition to his Communist plans AND the protests of his leftwing moonbats that he’s not doing enough.

But I don’t know about the NRCC. Or the RNC. They still seem to be run by a bunch of losers. They’ll do their damnedest to lose again, if they possibly can.

I would sure love it if ANYBODY ran against Queen Sheila in Texas’ 18th.

Both my wife and I would volunteer and contribute.

Awesome. Let the small businessmen take over Congress. It will be a better country after.

Well, Burriss is out, so someone can make a race there. FL is winnable. PA is winnable with Specter. Everywhere, though, the Dems numbers are going to start to fall with the economy and with O.

Do you think Kaisch can oust Strickland? If Kaisch wins next year, it could be sign that Obama could be vulnerable in 2012.

The latest Daily Kos / Research 2000 has Strickland leanding Kaisch, 44-39.

At first I thought it was hopeless. But Strickland has been falling here, certainly the 10.4% unemployment and NCR leaving didn’t help. And Kasich does not have the statewide name recognition, so there is a better chance today than I would have given him six months ago.

We need to run/recruit conservatives, it doesn’t take the official party leadership to “recruit” good candidates..it’ just takes a willing population, and grass-roots support (sticking to your guns)!

I hope we have someone good running in MI-7 and that idiot Marky Mark Schauer.

Still, things look better than they did at the beginning of the year. We now have a fighting chance, and chances are that we’ll make at least some gains.

I agree, and if O keeps up, many once-safe Dems won’t be safe at all.

We better empty out all of them or bend over and grab your ankles. It’s that dire, IMO. It’s like trying to pacify Hitler and saying, “oh well, we made some gains.”

I really want to take the Colorado Fourth back from Markey. It's a red district, not pink or purple. It went to Markey after three cycles of a wealthy gay guy carpet bombing the district with money to knock off Marilyn Musgrave. As a first termer she's as vulnerable as she'll ever be.

And she was dumb enough to vote for cap and tax.

Another reason that Musgrave lost was the perecption that she was ingoring the district to pursue national social causes. The Republican nominee needs to be a solid conservative who will make local issues the centerpiece of his legislative agenda.

We need to keep a close eye on the money flowing into DNC candidates because I'll bet you that what's left over from Obama for America's $850 million, along with bailout bucks, are getting doled out to Democrat candidates. For example, I read that Florida's Charlie Crist has collected in only 50 days, an eye-popping $4.3 million for his U.S. Senate campaign. That's 2 1/2 times the previous Florida Senate fundraising record set by Republican Mel Martinez — $1.7 million in his first fundraising period in 2004 — and it makes the Republican Senate challenger Marco Rubio, look like a pauper after he raised just $340,000 in the same period. A quick perusal of where the Democrat candidates are, monetarily-speaking, is going to raise a lot of eyebrows.

I agree, there was a feeling she lost touch with the district. There was also a very stiff headwind blowing against GOP candidates last year - a bad time to be vulnerable.

Republicans in Washington...tell NRO they have a top-tier or near top-tier candidate in every frontline district - more than 20 districts.

Well, they'd better get topline candidates in at least another 20 or so current 'Rat districts if there is any hope of getting back the House next year.

Can someone please put up the number of 'Rat House seats that have to be flipped in order to gain the majority? (Think it's about 40.)

Freepers, post and identify all House and Senate seats that MUST be voted out in 2010 and conservatives found to run in. It’s a start. We can work on 2012 next!

McCain - Arizona
Feinstein - California
