Are there any Democrats in the Senate who could break ranks?? What a blow it would be if we could pick off a Bayh, Nelson, or Baucus.

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.

We have Ken Salazar from Colorado. Look for him to be like Ben Nelson from Nebraska.

I don't care if we pick up one, two or even three seats by someone switching parties.

I just want to make sure that Jeffords gets nothing.

I hope the Republicans have learned about playing hardball. No veto of judge nominations by Senators from their home state, no padded membership numbers on committees. Try to pick off the few rational Rats in the house and senate who they can work with and consign the rest to the impotence of minority that they are.

Bayh will probably be a Presidential candidate and one that we should probably fear...he could actually get elected unlike Witch Hilda.
