that’s 11 Dems even without MA which is a longshot but certainly plausible. The odds are against coming anywhere close to running the table, and yet I would not be surprised if Dems lost 8 of these 12.
My brother, a conservative Hoosier, tells me that an Op-Ed posted online by Bayh (Indie Star?) recently was greeted with hundreds of online comments that were 100% pure anger. He says the wrath exhibited there was beyond anything he would have expected.
This year I don’t know that any Democrat is safe, including the MA Senate seat being voted on in 2 weeks. I must say that I just can’t wait!
I agree with you on Bayh’s chances. After supporting Obama on his “stimulus plan” (twice, $787 billion plus an additional $400 billion) and now voting for the Senate version of Obamacare there is no way the Indiana Senator can depend on his famous family name to get him elected or re-elected to anything. He cannot fool anyone any longer into believing he is a true centrist moderate. He has the same problems that Blanche Lincoln has in Arkansas. Over the years Lincoln has carefully cultivated a centrist image back home, an example is her support for the 2nd Amendment. But in reality her voting record is clearly liberal and tows the Dem party, Harry Reid and Barack Obama line.
