The Republican Party has written off the Great Lakes. Jennifer Granholm will sweep Michigan, Scott McCallow is going nowhere in Wisconsin. And in Illinois, Pubbie guv candidate Jim Ryan has called for Pubbie guv George Ryan to resign his office because of the licenses for bribes scandal. The Illinois party apparatus has disintegrated.

Maybe the party will do OK in FL and the rest of Dixie. I hope so, anyway, because I sure don't see a plan.

Jennifer Granholm will sweep Michigan

Granholm may not even survive Bonoir.

[Dan from Michigan]

Granholm has to face Bonior and Blanchard.

And she isn't THAT good. The media loves her, but when she's exposed outside the cameras, she has no substance.

...and don't forget the southern states....they are becoming more and more republican....look at the last two elections....overwhelmingly conservative where the democraps had a lock on these states for several decades.

We already gained two seats, one in AZ, one in Ohio, and these are only two of the redistricted seats that I am told account for 26 NEW seats. GOP 2, Dems -2.
