Try recruiting some good candidates there liddy.

If high gas prices do what theyalways do.. create stagflation nothing else matters.

Clinton had it right in 1992 .. its the economy stupid.

The odds are that in 2006 and 2008 the enconomy will be the big issue.

Democrats will win that debate. Eight out of ten preidential elections are determined by the economy. People are always thinking is is some other issue.. but in 8 out of 10 elections it is not.

I agree. There are several states where vulnerable Dems don't get a strong Republican opponents... The good ones simply decline... That's her job as a recruiter...

Yeah, I agree: Elizabeth should quit writing op-eds for the beltway types and us politico-fanatics and get busy finding electable conservatives who will further the agenda.

I've not been impressed so far by her efforts. All I've seen is a bunch of "gimme some money, please" mailers. :(

Kennedy and Steele are good recruitments. But, they have lost key recruits in "red states" where we'd think they'd be strongest. West Virginia the most noticeable.

Senator Dole has not been doing a good job overall, and it looks at this point enthusiasm by the base better be high to compensate for second tier candidates in conservative leaning states.

Otherwise the risk exists that a "Salazar" narrowly wins by a misleading conservative campaign.

The recruitment has been a bust. The Dems will not be losing any seats, except maybe in Minnesota if the GOP gets lucky.
