Post #56. Please, I hope the IL GOP is not stupid enough to allow Oberdouche anywhere near an office again. He lost a heavily Republican House district twice to a nobody, last Tuesday in a landslide.

I might remind you that even if the False Messiah becomes as unpopular as Bubba in ‘94, we STILL knocked off only 2 sitting Dem incumbents in the Senate that year. We usually only make our gains through their retirements while they pluck ours off at will (absent retirements in ‘94, we may have failed to capture that body).

I think we might have knocked off Meztenbaum, Riegle, and Deconcini. The later two were damaged by the Keating Five, and Meztenbaum had low approval ratings by 1994 (His son-in-law wasn't helped by his familial relation to the senator). But Mitchell's seat wouldn't have budged with him running again.

If Vitter steps down, our SecState Jay Dardenne could run for the seat. He probably should have run against Landrieu instead of Kennedy.
