My thoughts are.......Pat Toomey has jumped too soon. He should have waited a bit longer. Challenging Specter might not work out to our benefit. Now, Arlen could be more conservative but he's in an important seat (PA). We do not need to cannabilize our own.

And the big picture is always.......what kind of working margin does President Bush have in the Senate/House? We cannot cede any ground to those traitorous, self-interested, obstructionist Democrats.

This website's analysis makes it sound like Travelin' Johnny Edwards is wildly unpopular in NC, which is not true. Voters are just apathetic at this point, and things will be much closer than it appears, as we near Election Day 2004. NC is still a majority Dem state, which votes GOP in Prez races. It is still an uphill battle for other GOPers, both statewide and local. Edwards is too slick and too much of a liar to be underestimated, so let's don't.

Actually it's a majority Republican-voting state, with redistricting working against us. 2000 was not a good year here. Going forward the major obstacles to Republican dominance are RINOist backstabbers, like the folks who just helped Democrats raise taxes, and overcoming Democrat incumbency, which will take years. It will be 2012 before Republicans can take a firm hold of state government.
