[Deport Billary]

Edwards is running at 43% here in north carolina. If he keeps badmouthing the president he is DOOMED.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Ah-nold wants to be governor and I think that's a better place for him.

[KansasGirl]

What about Rudy knocking out Schumer?

[mafree]

GOP has no candidate who can take on Boxer

I think Simon could run well against her- what do you think?

[ILoveIt]

Santorum isn't running. Specter is, and there is a very good chance that he retires instead of running again. I have it on very good info that fiscal conservative Rep. Pat Toomey from the Allentown area, congressional district-15 will seek this seat if Specter retires.

The addition of Toomey to the Senate would be such an unbelievable great turn of events for Republicans it's difficult to put it into words.

He is one of the very few elected officials who stands up for Social Security reform despite it being the "untouchable" 3rd rail of modern politics.

[HapaxLegamenon]

Bad news: GOP has no candidate who can take on Boxer

What about Arnold Swertzenager

[BushRep]

Pat Toomey is my Representative, and I've come to think the world of him.

I saw him in a debate with Ed O'Brien, and Toomey demolished him.

I'd love to see Pat Toomey in the Senate, and he would be the easy winner if he ran for two reasons: 1. He would carry the Lehigh Valley and the Suburbs easily. 2. Pennsylvania doesn't elect Democratic Senators.


However, Specter really worked hard for Fisher, and has been a team player so far with Bush. If he wants to run again, then he deserves another term. Toomey could take out Rendell in 2006..

[Abram]

Murray (or effectively known by many Ds as well as Rs as Patty-Cake), is an idiot. Nethercutt WA-5 is talking about running. Jennifer Dunn WA-8 both potentials. The WA R party has no organization or stucture. It is a party dominated by the Religious Right or the Establishment Rs. There is minimal grassroots appeal. We in Washington continue to vote for Liberterian/tax-cutting balot measures, but can't elect a Republican to office to save our lives. We just lost Gorton two years ago...We have the two ditsy sisters running continually and winning. Where is the leadership in this state?

[fhayek]

Senator or Governor would be OK, but weren't there some skeletons that was afraid of?

[fhayek]

uh... that HE was afraid of...

[GraniteStateConservative]

He was vulnerable in 1998, but he won't be in 2004?

Carroll Campbell declined to run (he wanted to make his millions to take care of his family-- children and grandchildren), but was leading in all the polls.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Gov. Campbell has Alzheimer's and is done with his political life.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Arlen Specter will be chair of the Judiciary after Hatch serves another two years in that capacity. A GOP Senate in 2005 would be all that stands in the way of Specter achieving what he's always coveted.

[BushRep]

Arlen Specter has sided with Bush on nearly every issue. He deserves to be allowed to get the Chairmanship he has always coveted.

I've been very impressed with Specter, Collins, and Snowe.

Let's hope that Chaffee does not disappoint us. He needs to be at least a fiscal conservative.

[KQQL]

You kidding...Gregg will easily win....He's Popular in NH

[KQQL]

The currenet GOV would have kicked Rendalls' butt...
Fisher has no chrisma

[icwhatudo]

Hate to be a pain, but would someone (with the time to do it) post that list again but this time with the states each are from and if that state voted for Bush in the last election-THANKS!!! :)

[KQQL]

CO is a shoooooo in for a republican...if Allard can win,
then GOP can win.................
P>S you forget Norton wanted to be the senator from CO, when she lost in the primary to Allard in 1996.,,
With her ID, she will easily win
