Damn straight. I'm volunteering tomorrow. Is it too much to expect a 20K salary - all I need is a paycheck to justify my time to my wife ;)
You are kidding, right? These are two of the safest Senate seats in the country.

What have you been smoking
I want some
Trent will get 70% of the vote
You are funny
It will be like repeating the cycle all over again.
If you permit Arlen Spectre to chair the judiciary committe,
I am one of MILLIONS of Christians who will take it as a betrayal of everything we thought we were working for when we supported your party.
I can assure you -- if that happens, MILLIONS of us will either sit out the next elections, or give our votes to third or fourth parties.
It's not the open virulence of Democrats that hurts the most, BUT SUAVE BETRAYAL BY PERCEIVED FRIENDS.
Spectre today = loss of presidency, house, and senate in 2008. I can promise you that.
Move Lincoln Chafee from "Somewhat vulnerable" to "OUTTA HERE". He is a RINO disgrace.
Yes, that would be sweet victory of the first order! I would love it!
Delaware Republicans are already talking about the US Senate race in '06. First-term Senator Tom Carper (D) is up, and I need help in diagnosing his weaknesses/vulnerability. I definitely don't buy the "safe and sound" classification.
I SECOND THAT.
We must win in Iraq too, and reduce Twin Debts. I'm sure the President will succeed in these targets, but not in two years!
An excellent and timely post. Now, while we are energized and motivated, is the time to look ahead. The Dems will continue down the road to socialism. We need to make it a dead end road to nowhere.
Put George Allen in the safe and sound territory and give me what you have been smoking. I need to relax.
I live on the other side of the country, but if Ever ready Teddy retires, don't you think he'd try to get one of his nieces or nephews elected in his place to keep the Kennedy stronghold on that seat in the Senate?
Now be honest, you made all these stupid
calls just to get a lot of replys.
No freeper can be that dumb!
If New Yorkers know Hillary is going to run for presidency in 2008, wouldn't that be a factor in her senate seat re-election? Why would you want vote for someone who is not going to do the job elected for?>???
I think the present 'rat establishment can't help but try the same old things....they can't change...it's in their genes......it's the way they are.....cats catch birds...it's the way they are.
The 'rats will keep on, thru the ACLU et al, ramming gay marrige, removal of Christian symbols from our buildings, forcing gay rights, removing God from all our institutions,.....using the courts to force laws that they cannot get passed thru legislation...down our collective throats. The U.S. map cannot help get anything except redder.
The 'rats can only look forward to losing more house and Senate seats in '06 and in '08 the R's will maybe gain a veto-proof Congress. When that happens, the 'rats will be religated to being a minority for a hundred years.
Kennedy is safe with the voters in MA; their brains are frozen. However, Kennedy is likely to have liver disease, stroke, heart attack - so he may not be able to run again.
Bush will send Rove out to tackle the 2006 election. He will leave the senate and house in good shape and set the framework for the 08 election. Guaranteed. Bush, as we have all learned leaves no stone unturned. He is meticulous.
Don't forget that former Congressman Joe Kennedy has been considered likely to replace his uncle for years.
Barney Frank is interested in the Senate as are a few others. I do not believe that Meehan could win against Reps. Frank or Lynch. Markey has been around the longest but he is really a lightweight.
