“If Bennet is opposed by someone like Pete Coors, who almost beat Salazar in 2004, or popular former Gov. Bill Owens, that seat could easily go to the GOP,” said University of Arkansas political scientist Rob Maranto."

Is this guy smoking crack or is he a Democrat consultant ? Pete Coors was a complete fiasco as a candidate, a rich dilettante with a drinking problem (and in 2006, was arrested and sentenced for drunk driving). The Dems would love to have this guy run again. As for Owens, Colorado's GOP collapsed as the majority party under his leadership, and he all but handed the Governorship to the liberal rodent Ritter on a silver platter.

"Villanova University professor Lara Brown thinks a good conservative Latino recruit like Loretta Sanchez would be a smart move for the Colorado GOP."

The liberal Democrat California Congresswoman ? Huh ?

Five minutes after Barack Obama took the oath in January and began signing executive orders and expanding government, those same pundits began lining up the Senate Democrats they expect to be in trouble in 2010, Obama’s first midterm.

Really, all i saw was how the GOP is dead as a party and out of touch with the people. All the pundits I saw were saying the GOP needs to pack in it and give up. The Democrats are going to rule forever.

An enterprising Democrat might decide that taking Dodd on would be good politics," she said, pointing to a "reformer-type, someone who will not be perceived as a corrupt politician

Since when did Democrats worry about their candidates who are "corrupt politicians"?

There is only one consideration that is going to matter in the midterm elections: how securely is ACORN ensconced in your state?

If they are there, and threw the state for Obama and other offices in 2008, kiss it goodbye, because they are going to defraud the elections again.

Unless, of course, people do something about them, which has not seemed to be the case. My husband says we must mount a campaign against them, and keep the public eye focused on ACORN to stop them. Which Republicans are planning to run against ACORN in the midterms? Have not seen any yet. Unless we do, we are too naive to breathe.

I note that SNL last night aired an opening that mocked and attacked House Republicans - all part of the ongoing MSM/DEM plan.

“If his approval rating falls below 50 percent before March 2010, then he likely will drag down those Democrats running that November.”

“If?”...WHEN his approval rating falls below 50 percent.

Two things need to happen between now & next year...

1. The Gelding Old Party needs to get a testicle & spint implant and find a true blue conservative to lead the party.
I am no big fan of Newt Gingrich BUT he did lead the GOP into a majority of Congress.

2. The DOJ needs to come down hard on ACORN and put this criminal enterprise out of business. (That may never happen.)

I don’t think Bayh will have any trouble, no inspiring opponents have stepped forward. However, he should be concerned: in 2004 he won a lower percentage of the vote than he did when he ran as governor. Voters seemed to agree that he was a better governor (more independent) than as a senator under the wing of Kennedy, Reid, and Clinton. Bayh’s opponent in 2004, Dr. Marvin Scott, ran an excellent campaign with no support from the national party. I think he held Bayh under 60% in the final. I was actually hoping Richard Lugar would get picked as Secretary of State, so we could replace him. I was going to request the RINO governor to appoint Dr. Scott if he was interested....

I’d be more comfortable with “Conservatives plotting mid-term takeover.”

Unless, of course, the Republican Party can purge itself of RINOs.
