I concur on Dickey, he would be a lousy candidate. Losing one's House seat doesn't make for a good Senate candidate (just ask Gary Franks). Dickey's also getting "up there" and would be 65 come January '05, not elderly, but as a rule, I get a little antsy once they start passing 62-63 for Senate seats (assuming they'll want to remain for a minimum 2 terms). One reason I was backing then-54-year old Ed Bryant over then-62 year old Lamar! Alexander in our Senate contest. The last Senator in my state to start at that age died before completing a term. He's older now than Howard Baker was after he retired in '85 and a month ago surpassed the age of Albert Gore, Sr. when he was defeated back in 1970 after 32 years in Congress.

So it looks like we're going to have to heavily rely on multi-millionaires to expand the GOP Senate majority this year:

Jack Ryan in Illinois

Jack Woodcock in Nevada

Tim Michels in Wisconsin

As for Jack Woodcock's name, he could do what Jack Ryan is doing in Illinois ie only mentioning his first name "Jack For Senate".

Are there any multimilionares in Arkansas we can run in case Asa Hutchinson closes the door???
