I think Bayh will run for President in 2008. For the rest I don't know whether they are conservative or not. I could see Chaffee switching to independent or democrat from the republican side and I also think that if Specter does not get the chairman of the judiciary committee you might see him bolt too. Frist has his hands full with this group.
Careful. I remember the disaster of the pubs in 1976. Reagan was just 4 years later.
Celebrate? For sure. However, if Iraq goes further south OR if (God forbid) we get involved in another foreign military matter that divides the country like this one, they are likely to throw the whole team out.
Further, if we don't get a Congress who can grow some male appendages and CUT SOME SPENDING!!!!!!!! we won't have to worry about Republicans governing, as there won't be anything left to govern other than a pile of debt.
"Kerry is horrid" was ok during an election cycle. Now it is time to quit puking money like it gushes from the sky nightly.
We have Ken Salazar from Colorado. Look for him to be like Ben Nelson from Nebraska.
And the Prez is supposed to be reaching out to these monsters. Time for the Republicans to get serious. We gave them this chance. They've got lots in the House and Senate and the Presidency--hope we see some results.
Typical Democrat. Absolutely lawless. Come and get us.. burn baby burn. Except, the only thing that's burning is the Democrat's side of the house.
Go ahead, follow Dashle's example, and fight this popularly elected President tooth and nail during the middle of a major war. The GOP can use a couple of dozen more Dashle's.
Or maybe, just about 6 (minus Spector, who barely even a RINO, = 60 GOP Senators).
Yep.. do your worst Dems.. Just like the Dashle.
SFS
If his own party will have him. The Michael Moore nuts will never nominate a moderate or conservative Democrat. They're rather go down the drain than lose their iron grip on the party.
Has McAuliffe made any public statements yet?
I have a feeling his standard "It was a good night for Democrats" won't hold much water this time...
Bayh running for President will be about as successful in that party as Lieberman....unless the DNC goes through a complete transformation by '08.
I think if Bayh or any other fairly moderate Dem ran, the Green candidate would pull in 5-7% of the vote.
Pelosi does not have the skills necessary to play 'hardball.' Nor is she in any position to do so as the leader of a minority that has continued to shrink over the last two elections.
You're assuming Bayh could actually get the nomination.
Forget *reaching out*; stomp on these suibhuman filthies! Crush the bastards, mercilessly! They're The Enemy Within®, and deserve a political beating.

Dittos.
It all depends on your definition of a "radical right wing agenda"
If it goes by the Democrat definition your 30 years might be too short.
If it goes by the Avergae American Definition, we'll lose both chambers and the White House in 2008.
The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
If the Democrats want to rebuild their party and have a chance of competing in the "red" states, they need to quit being a coalition of minorities and start appealing directly to the lower middle income blue collar or white collar working family. They should begin by dropping the radical feminists, the blacks, the gays, the enviro-wackos, the hard core socialists, and the trial lawyers.
The more they act like this, the more they remind me of Palestinians. It is their outrageousness that got them tossed out on their ears, and the more they are outrageous, the more they will be tossed out. Can't wait for the next house and senate election, we may win the country back from the socialist's yet!
